11 October 2013 - On Monday 14 October Radio NZ Concert will broadcast our Schubert Quintet programme from 2012. The concert, recorded in Christchurch on 2 October 2012, features the great C major String Quintet by Schubert, in which we had the pleasure of working with NZSO Principal Cellist Andrew Joyce. Andrew also joined us in a quintet by young Hungarian composer Peter Tornyai, a work we gave the first performance of at the International Summer Academy in Austria in 2010. The other work in the programme is Haydn's wonderful 'Sunrise' Quartet. The concert will be broadcast at 8pm on Music Alive. You can catch it either on your radio or online.

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.
