Wilma & Friends
We are fortunate to be part of an eleven centre tour by legendary kiwi violinist Wilma Smith.
Every year Wilma puts together different groups of musical friends she thinks might create some exciting chemistry in programmes full of variety and appeal, from premières to revered masterpieces and undiscovered gems from every musical era.
Wilma is the former Concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and founding member of the New Zealand String Quartet. She is joined for this tour by Caroline Henbest who may be familiar as principal viola with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, along with two up and coming kiwi musicians, pianist and composer Andrew Leathwick and cellist Alexandra Partridge both of whom studying at the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne.
For this concert we will hear a piano quartet by Andrew that Wilma has commissioned especially for this tour. Be sure to catch this brand-new work, alongside a delightful selection of favourites of the piano quartet repertoire by Beethoven and Dvořák, not in some far distant city or town but right here.
The actual programme is:-
Beethoven | Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, op 16
Andrew Leathwick | Piano Quartet No. 1 (new commission)
INTERVAL
Dvořák | Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major, op.87
When: Friday 29 September, 7.30pm
Where: Coronation Hall, 37 Hall Road, Bannockburn.
Tickets: Adults $30: SuperGold $25: Student/Child $5 available from Cromwell iSite and all other Central Otago District iSites. Door sales will be available if all tickets are not pre-sold.
