Music News - NZTrio Triumphantly Return To Live Performances This December
29 November 2021 - 0 Comments
NZTrio are thrilled to close out a tumultuous 2021 with the final concert in the series Dramatic Skies 3: Cirrus, taking them to Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington from 12 December.
Despite restrictions NZTrio have been busy over the past months, releasing their superb new album Merge and performing their second livestreamed concert earlier this month at the Auckland Town Hall’s Concert Chamber, without an in-person audience.
Ashley Brown (cello), Amalia Hall (violin), and Somi Kim (piano) are pleased to return to the stage after so many months of postponements and cancellations. NZTrio’s concert at the Auckland Town Hall on 12 December will have a limited capacity of 100 and will once again be livestreamed for a koha/donation for those who aren’t able to attend in person in Tāmaki Makaurau and throughout the country.
Completing our journey through the clouds, Cirrus sweeps us into the heights of Schubert's musical charm, shifting us into Rachel Clement's glassmaking inspired sound world. Through passionate mood changes and luscious melodies reminiscent of the late French Romantics, Panufnik's piano trio takes us into the depths of the nebulous glow of Aotearoa's clouds in NZTrio’s new commission by Gillian Whitehead. Rachmaninov's masterpiece reflects on the huge journey of the whole series and brings the year to a dramatic close with a sense of pathos and heightened emotion.
Dame Gillian Whitehead (Ngāi Te Rangi) is one of Australasia’s most important composers, and whose wide variety of works include opera, orchestral, chamber and choral works. Whitehead is a three-times winner of the SOUNZ Contemporary Award and has been composer-in-residence with a variety of organisations. In 2000 she was an inaugural Arts Foundation Laureate and in 2003 Victoria University of Wellington awarded her an honorary DMus. In 1999 Whitehead was honoured with membership of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her services to music, before later being promoted in 2008 to Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of merit.
