About this word search
Classical music in New Zealand has its own names. The NZSO has played for audiences here since the 1940s, Douglas Lilburn gave the country a voice of its own in orchestral music, and Dame Gillian Whitehead is one of its leading composers, with opera, orchestral and chamber music to her name. Kiri Te Kanawa took a Gisborne voice to the great opera houses of the world.
Eighteen by eighteen, in all eight directions, backwards included. Gillian Whitehead is the longest at sixteen letters. Kiri Te Kanawa, Glockenspiel and Chamber music have twelve. NZSO and Oboe are only four letters. The Z is your friend here: there are two in Mezzo, two in Pizzicato and one in NZSO. French horn runs together as FRENCHHORN, with a double H in the middle, and Double bass becomes DOUBLEBASS.
Bring it along for the interval or the bus to a concert. A quick challenge for players: be the first to find the three woodwind instruments hidden in the grid.
