NZTrio presents Fantastique

Renowned classical music ensemble NZTrio He Taonga Wairere present their extraordinary programme Fantastique.
Described as a "national treasure" and "New Zealand's most indispensable ensemble" (William Dart, NZ Herald), NZTrio combines warm kiwi stage presence with musicians at the top of their craft.

Amalia Hall (violin), Somi Kim (piano) and Callum Hall (guest cello) explore a lavish tapestry of styles and emotions in Fantastique, a programme of contrasts. Turina's Circulo depicts a single day through dawn, midday and dusk, while brooding disquiet meets stark intensity in Shostakovich's Piano Trio No.1 in C minor. Chen Yi's Tibetan Tunes creates a fusion of traditional Tibetan melodies referencing Buddhist god Du Mu, before the premiere of Angelus, a new commission by one of Aotearoa’s most acclaimed composers, John Psathas. Finally, Franck's youthful Piano Trio No. 1 in F sharp minor is as charming and intimate as it is powerful and explosive.
