The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is in new territory this week with a collaborative programme to mark the fifth anniversary of the mosque attacks in Christchurch in which 51 people were murdered.
The centrepiece of Beyond Words is called Ahlan wa Sahlan, and incorporates an Arabic welcome which lets people know they are in a place where they belong.
The concert will be performed once each in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, beginning in Christchurch Thursday night.
Conductor Fawzi Haimor and NZSO's artistic manager Shona Jaunas spoke to Corin Dann.
