He’s a composer and a conductor and is very well-known in opera, including leading the New Zealand Opera Chorus.

Next Sunday, the 22nd, he’ll be conducting the Wellington Chamber Orchestra in a programme including a rarely heard variant of Bruckner’s Symphony No 3.

He speaks to David Morriss about the interesting and slightly unusual world of Bruckner.
