NZTrio performs Constellations at Mairangi Arts Centre Dec 10

Su from Browns Bay

Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello), and Somi Kim (piano) - three of New Zealand's hottest classical musicians are returning to the Shore Dec 10th, 7pm for an intimate concert followed by their usual manaakitanga - complimentary refreshments with the audience following the performance. Join us for some music at its most powerful - Mairangi Arts Centre 20 Hastings Rd., Mairangi Bay. Tickets via Eventfinda or visit nztrio.com/event-directory.

Beethoven: Piano Trio No. 1*
Saariaho: Light and Matter
Margetić: Lightbox
Korngold: Piano Trio
*

Constellations opens where it all began: Beethoven’s seminal Opus 1 No 1. Then our focus branches out to the Finnish-German-French influence in Kaija Saariaho’s spectral masterpiece Light and Sound. Staying in the brightest light, we experience the delightful return of the prizewinning Lightbox by New Zealander Karlo Margetić. The light then projects onto the silver screen in the Piano Trio by Erich Korngold, a work that bears all the hallmarks of his Austro-Hungarian upbringing, WW2-era immigration into America, and film-music career.

Duration 1 hour, no interval (*first mvmts only)

Full 1.5 hour plus interval performance Dec 11, 8pm at Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber - special price of $35 to attend both. Email Jessica Duirs at manager@nztrio.com for booking instructions.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
