...Did I find any cause for complaint? Yes, actually, I did – they didn’t encore the Brahms. But isn’t that the sign of an exceptional recital, that you send your audience away wishing they could have heard it all again?...
(Paul Serotsky, Seen and Heard International)
‘Flight’ concerts cancelled
Monday, April 6, 2020 - 7:41pm

30 March 2020 - We’re sorry to have to announce that all our remaining concerts for the first half of 2020 have had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. We’d been rehearsing our ‘Flight’ programme for performance in half a dozen centres. We will now perform this programme in the first half of 2021. We are planning to present our ‘Phantasy’ concerts in the second half of the year as scheduled, coronavirus permitting!

Next concerts

Tuesday, October 8 2024, 7:30pm - 9:30pm, Lake Wanaka Centre, 89 Ardmore St, Wanaka

In this concert we present a programme brimful of life, colour and contrasts. It begins with the lovely simplicity of Mozart's String Quartet in B-flat K589, one of three works that he wrote with the cello-playing King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II, in mind. The middle work is the premiere performance of 'Arohanui', a warm and heartfelt new work by Auckland composer Kirsten Strom. We round off the concert with Schubert's masterpiece, his Death and the Maiden String Quartet in D min D810. One of the most famous pieces of chamber music ever written, this powerful work is chock-full of melodic invention.
