Our 2023 series Homeland has the spirit of folk-music at its heart —with the music of the great Bohemian composer Antonín Dvořák at its core. Celebrating folk-influenced music from different parts of the globe, this series will also include special commissions by some of Aotearoa’s most cherished wāhine composers.

This is a special chance to hear Simon O’Neill outside of concert halls and opera houses for an intimate concert featuring Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and a selection of Strauss Lieder. Filled with deep longing, moments of joy and turmoil, these songs have been arranged for piano trio by New Zealand composers Ken Young and Alex Taylor. Don’t miss your chance to hear Simon O’Neill in his element with NZTrio.

MERGE
Featuring superb compositions by Christos Hatzis, Salina Fisher, Josef Suk and Erich Korngold, Merge is an amalgamation of NZTrio's individual musical personalities both on and off the stage, expressed through our shared love of chamber music. "We feel very lucky to be sharing our joyful, creative and collaborative experience of recording this album with you during this particularly bewildering time. As we all navigate this ever-changing world, constantly looking to the future and the past, we hope this music gives you a chance to appreciate some beauty in the present moment."
