Join the new NZTrio - Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello) and Somi Kim (piano) for TECTONIC IMPACT which musically examines the fundamental forces that shape environments and communities, focusing on Aotearoa New Zealand’s turbulent relationship with the United Kingdom, and the struggle between Cold War superpowers Russia and America.
Frank Bridge (UK) Saltarello
Martin Lodge (NZ) Nga Whetu Hou (new commission)
Frank Bridge (UK) Intermezzo
Ross Harris (NZ) Senryu
Rebecca Clarke (UK) Piano Trio
Alfred Schnittke (USSR) Trio

The programme compares and contrasts the very English sounds of Frank Bridge and Rebecca Clarke, colliding them with NZTrio’s latest commission from Martin Lodge which responds to the evolving Māori-Pakeha relationship, and an earlier commission from Ross Harris. The second half delivers a battle between Russia’s Alfred Schnittke in one corner and America’s Daniel Schnyder in the other.
Approx. 90 mins plus interval followed by complimentary drinks.
