ZTrio presents
BRAID
CLEMENT • MENDELSSOHN
• KATS-CHERNIN • KELLY • SCHUMANN
Performed by Ashley Brown (cello) with guest musicians Benjamin Baker (violin)
and Stephen De Pledge (piano)
NZTrio is delighted to celebrate an all-female cast of composers as New Zealand
marks the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage this year. These remarkable
women are represented in this powerful tribute by a perfect tangle of
traits - enigma in the Clement (NZ),
protective embrace in the Kelly (NZ),
enduring strength in the Kats-Chernin (AUS),
compassion in the Schumann (GER)
and emotional wisdom in the Mendelssohn (GER).
Braid will make its way to
Wellington for an extra show on Wednesday Sept 26 at City Gallery Wellington,
Civic Square, 101 Wakefield St at 7pm.
NZTrio continues to share
its 2018 programme with audiences in Auckland, Wellington and around the
country, through a fine selection of concerts that embrace new commissions,
female composers and thrilling explorations of the classical canon in September
and November.
For the 2018 programme deep connections are woven through each concert and
across the series. Familial, romantic, and collegial relationships are revealed
among the Mendelssohns, the Schumanns, and Brahms. Stylistic nuances across the
decades appear among Kiwi composers – Buchanan, Kelly, and Oram, and Aussies
Greenbaum, Kats-Chernin, and Hindson – allowing for comparisons of styles from
either side of the Tasman. The concerts open with a sense of strength and
fragility referenced by Clement and Glass, and there’s a celebration of New
Zealand’s suffragettes in the September programme of all female
composers.
Each concert presents a fresh dynamic, with an impressive line-up of talented
Kiwi guest musos – Benjamin Baker and Amalia Hall (violin) and Stephen De
Pledge and Somi Kim (piano) – arriving from all corners of the globe to join
Ashley Brown (cello) in exhilarating NZTrio combinations every time.
