Dramatic Skies 1: Stratus
Rachmaninoff
Haydn
Suk
Cowan
de Lautour (new commission)
Chausson
Stratus is the first of our 2021 subscription series. It begins by enveloping us in a foggy blanket of sound, with the dark, sumptuous depths of Rachmaninoff's Trio élégiaque and Suk's yearning Elegie, sandwiched around the cosy, rustic nature of Haydn's sunny G Major trio. Claire Cowan's ultra violet shimmers through the spectrum with its millions of colours; in Reuben De Latour's new commission an auscultation of water we sink into the undulations of an aquatic heartbeat; and we ascend again, evaporating into the melancholy, linear architecture of the Chausson Trio, reminiscent of Aotearoa's eponymous threads of clouds hugging the horizon.
Duration 1 hour, no interval, followed by complimentary refreshments.
If you would like to attend BOTH Stratus concerts at Nathan Homestead and Concert Chamber (full concert 1.5 hours plus interval) please email Jessica manager@nztrio.com for your special discount code.
