Imogen Granwal to replace Robert Ibell for concerts in first half of 2021

...My thanks are due to the Aroha Quartet and Oleksandr Gunchenko for their wondrously committed efforts, and especially in bringing to life music whose sounds I felt “enlarged my world” that evening....

10 May 2021 - We're really pleased to welcome Imogen Granwal to the Quartet for our Flight concerts in the first half of this year. Imogen is replacing Robert who is recovering from a tendon injury he sustained at the end of 2020. While Robert is recovering well and will be back with the Quartet for the second half of this year, he has not been able to rehearse with the group so far. You can read about Imogen here.

Next concerts

Tuesday, September 9 2025, 7:30pm - 9:30pm, St Andrew's in the City, Palmerston North

For this programme we are joined by four wonderful guest artists - Nick Walshe (clarinet), Justin Sun (bassoon), Alexander Hambleton (horn) and Oleksandr Gunchenko (double bass) - to present a programme enlivened by the varied timbres of wind instruments. Beginning with the Mozart String Quartet in B-flat K589 we move on to 'Serenata in vano' for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, Cello & Double Bass by Danish composer Carl Nielsen. This characterful work depicts a short and unsuccessful attempt at seduction. We finish with Schubert's mighty and virtuosic Octet, a work filled with jaunty dances, singable melodies and heart-rending moments. Tickets $35 General Admission, $25 Concessions, $10 Students from Eventfinda (transaction fees apply).
