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 NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
