NZSO Tan Dun Martial Arts Trilogy<br />

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra<br />
Tan Dun Martial Arts Trilogy<br />
Academy award-winning composer Tan Dun conducts the NZSO<br />
in a luscious and sweeping performance of his Martial Arts Trilogy.<br />
To mark the Year of the Snake and the Chinese New Year, the<br />
concert comprises Tan Dun’s scores from three classic martial arts<br />
fi lms, The Banquet, Hero, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.<br />
In a multi-media event dedicated to Hollywood grandeur, scenes<br />
from the fi lms will be projected above the orchestra as they<br />
celebrate the soaring, melodramatic and spiritually transcendent<br />
martial arts that make these fi lms so powerful.<br />
Internationally acclaimed violinist Ryu Goto evokes Flying Snow,<br />
and her story of revenge and redemption; pianist Yingdi Sun,<br />
winner of the prestigious Liszt Prize, is Empress Ano, who sacrifi ces<br />
everything for power; while Tan Wei on the traditional Chinese violin<br />
erhu portrays the dreamer Lo who fi nds transcendence through<br />
martial arts. Tan Dun’s soaring, haunting and utterly thrilling music<br />
makes for a concert that is not to be missed. 7.30pm. 15 February.<br />

For detailed information on the New Zealand<br />
road code, the offi cial guidebook is available at<br />
most bookstores and petrol stations.<br />
Road Rules<br />
You must be 21 to hire a rental car or mobile home, and show<br />
a current driving licence and/or an international licence. New<br />
Zealand drives on the left so remember to keep left at all times.<br />
All traffi c turning right should give way to a vehicle coming from<br />
the opposite direction and turning left. This applies at cross<br />
roads, T-intersections and driveways where both vehicles are<br />
facing each other. New Zealand law requires all the occupants<br />
of a car to wear a seatbelt at all times while mobile. It is illegal<br />
to use a mobile phone while driving unless it’s ‘hands-free’.<br />
At roundabouts, always keep left and give way to all traffi c on<br />
your right. The speed limit on the open road is 100km/h and<br />
50km/h in residential areas unless otherwise marked. The New<br />
Zealand Police enforce all traffi c laws, including the speed limit<br />
and dealing with accidents. All accidents must be reported to<br />
the police within 24 hours. Dial *555 on cell phones for nonemergency<br />
accidents. Obtain the driver’s name and address and<br />
vehicle registration number.<br />
Tips for Safe Driving<br />
Speed cameras are in use on New Zealand roads – take care<br />
not to exceed the signed speed limits as fi nes can be heavy, not<br />
forgetting the safety factor.<br />
If you notice traffi c building up behind you, pull over at a rest<br />
area to let it pass. Be extra careful when rejoining traffi c.<br />
Winding roads, diffi cult terrain and adverse weather conditions<br />
will slow you down, so allow plenty of time to reach your<br />
destination. Comfortable driving distances in a day are 200-<br />
300km, but less if you want to stop and enjoy attractions.<br />
Ensure you are at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front.<br />
Ringing bells and fl ashing red lights at a railway crossing signal<br />
that a train is coming. Many railway crossings are not controlled<br />
by barrier arms. Look out for the distinctive X-shaped railway<br />
crossing signs, and take extra care.<br />
