Aroha String Trio to perform ‘Serenade’ in 2022 and 2023

...The players noticeably immersed themselves fully into the melodrama, and delighted the entranced audience from beginning to end....

20 May 2022 - Our new programme for the second half of 2022 is for string trio. We’ve called it ‘Serenade’ after the two main works: Serenades by Dohnányi and Beethoven. They’re complemented by short trios from Franz Schubert, Jean Françaix and Kiwi composer Salina Fisher. We’re very much looking forward to sharing this wonderful music with the audience in Christchurch in August and Lower Hutt in September, followed by other centres around the country in 2023.

In the second half of 2023 we’re really looking forward to being reunited with our second violinist Konstanze Artmann.

Sunday, September 21 2025, 2:30pm - 4:30pm, Waikanae Memorial Hall

For this programme we are joined by four wonderful guest artists - Nick Walshe (clarinet), Justin Sun (bassoon), Alexander Hambleton (horn) and Oleksandr Gunchenko (double bass) - to present a programme enlivened by the varied timbres of wind instruments. Beginning with the Mozart String Quartet in B-flat K589 we move on to 'Serenata in vano' for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, Cello & Double Bass by Danish composer Carl Nielsen. This characterful work depicts a short and unsuccessful attempt at seduction. We finish with Schubert's mighty and virtuosic Octet, a work filled with jaunty dances, singable melodies and heart-rending moments. Tickets $40 Members, $50 Non Members, $10 Students.
