Description
Djinn is a concerto for marimba and a chamber orchestra made up of strings, harp and percussion. It was written for, and inspired by Pedro Carneiro. The funding for the commission was provided by Creative New Zealand. The premiere consisted of three performances in New Zealand with Marc Taddei conducting all three. The performances were with Orchestra Wellington - who drove the commission and the project - the Auckland Philharmonia, and the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
