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.
