🎸✨ Behind the Scenes with Andy Lynch, Bass Guitarist for DSO Plays ABBA! ✨🎸

Ahead of this Saturday’s 'DSO Plays ABBA' concert, we caught up with Andy Lynch to hear his thoughts on performing ABBA’s timeless hits with the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra at the Dunedin Town Hall! Read moreon what he had to say:

💡 How do you adapt ABBA’s pop sound for a symphonic setting while maintaining its original feel?
"The key is being sensitive to & blending with the orchestra while preserving the energy & drive that so many of the ABBA songs have."

🎶 What is most enjoyable about performing ABBA’s music with the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra?
"It’s a privilege for pop musicians to be involved with a full orchestra & to experience the beautiful sound that only a live orchestra can create."

🥁 How do you collaborate to ensure a cohesive and dynamic performance?
"The rhythm section must become a cohesive sounding unit that the orchestra feels comfortable with & enjoys. It's equally important to replicate the original sounds & feel of the ABBA classics."

What do you hope the audience will experience during this concert?
"The audience will know the songs inside out, so we’ll need to honour the originals while giving them the added sonic textures an orchestra brings."

Join us for a magical night of ABBA with the DSO and some of Dunedin’s finest musicians! ✨🌟 Get your tickets at www.dso.org.nz
