Body

WELD (Bernard Wells and Peter Daly a.k.a. Pedro Dali) have been sharing cosmic sound explorations together for many years. They now crystallise varied vocabularies – world music, jazz, free improvisation – transcending labels. You are invited to join them in their next expedition.

Little Symphony is a saxophone quartet made up of Clarinets, Bass Clarinets, a Bassoon, Trombone and sprinkling of Saxophones. The group actively explores the idea of tearing the music that they love (Jazz/Improv/Country/Blues/Ska/Funk/Soul/Son Jarocho/Afro-Beat/Musique Contrete/Classical etc etc etc) down into the studs and rebuilding it with these wonderous timbres. During that process they look for and find the essence of what makes them and maybe all of us love music.

Little Symphony features five unique musical luminaries of the Wellington scene:

Kaito Walley (Trombone)
Oscar Laven (Sax/Bassoon/Clarinet)
Jake Baxendale (Sax/Bass Clarinet)
Blair Latham (Sax/Bass Clarinet/Clarinet)
Anton Wuts (Sax/Clarinet)
