Lunchtime Concert, 26 June, Methodist Centre
Rob Fleming, Taranaki concert pianist and music teacher, will be presenting a piano recital this coming Wednesday at the Methodist Centre, from 12.15pm.
He will be playing Arnold Bax's Piano Sonata No.2, composed in 1921. This possibly the first time this has been performed publicly in New Plymouth.
This piece is a captivating work, characterised by lush harmonies, intricate textures and evocative melodies. Bax weaves together contrasting themes creating a sense of drama and emotional intensity. The sonata is a testament to Bax's creativity and his ability to evoke vivid imagery through music.
A wonderful opportunity to hear a new piece of music while enjoying a lunch break. Koha appreciated.
