11 March 2013 - The Aroha Quartet is joined by well-known pianist Catherine McKay for Schumann's famous and fabulous Piano Quintet in three performances in Palmerston North, Wellington and Auckland in April and May 2013. This concert also celebrates the hundredth anniversary of the birth of British composer Benjamin Britten with his superb String Quartet No 3, written shortly before his death. The programme opens with Beethoven's Sixth String Quartet, a fascinating and exhilarating work of extreme contrasts. For more details about these concerts see the Schedule on this website. Tickets are available at Eventfinda or at the door.
