NZTrio are set to close out their 20th year with Legacy 3, the final spellbinding programme in a magnificent 2022 series. Continuing a brimming year of performances, NZTrio will captivate audiences at Pah Homestead Auckland (6 Nov) Public Trust Building Wellington (9 Nov), Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber (17 Nov), Whittaker’s Musical Museum Waiheke (20 Nov), Lawson Field Theatre Gisborne (6 Dec), The Lodge at The Hills Arrowtown (7 Dec) and Nelson Centre for Musical Arts (9 Dec).

Continuing their legacy as a “national treasure” (William Dart, NZ Herald) Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello), and Somi Kim (piano) will round off a stellar year with a journey through works from Schumann, Schuller, Tchaikovsky, and a newly commissioned work by the masterful composer Gao Ping.

The final saga begins with Schumann weaving his love of Bach’s counterpoint with his own natural fountainhead of fantasy, presented in an arrangement by his friend and colleague Kirchner. The chromatic spectrum is explored further in Schuller’s trio, embodying his jazz roots with colleagues Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, and acknowledging his place in American composers’ royalty. Gao Ping’s NZ legacy continues long after his return to China in this brand new commission. The journey concludes with the largest, most symphonic piano trio of all – Tchaikovsky’s expansive and magnificent work written in memory of Nikolai Rubinstein – “À la mémoir d’un grand artiste”.

Audiences throughout Aotearoa and the world can also experience the wonders of a live NZTrio performance, with the 17 November performance streamed live on www.nztrio.com and also www.facebook.com/NZTrio thanks to JXLive and Radio NZ Concert, with the performance footage available to view online for a further week following the performance.

Before taking to the stage with Legacy 3, NZTrio will also perform two concerts in Dunedin on 19 Oct at St Paul’s Cathedral and 20 Oct at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, as well as a performance at Taranaki Arts Festival’s Spiegel Fest on 16 Nov.
