HOMELAND 2: Tunes from my Home

Homeland 2 begins with Chen Yi transporting us half a world away to her upbringing in China, with musical stories filled with bustling energies and happy memories.  Then we hear Enescu’s luscious A minor trio, one of the very few works he composed during WWII and a strong witness to his fascination with the Romanian countryside and folk music of his homeland. Victoria Kelly’s gently rhythmic and mystical sound world brings us back home to Aotearoa with her new commission “Lyre”, before our final stop in Prague, where a 42-year old Dvořák takes us into the depths of Czech folk music traditions and into the dark and brooding romanticism of his F minor piano trio.
