Event Details
A lavish tapestry of styles and emotions is explored 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.
This programme will be performed with guest cellist Callum Hall

Event Details
NZTrio’s long-held desire to collaborate with celebrated soprano Emma Pearson in a performance of Strauss’ beloved Vier letzte Lieder has led us to commission our compatriot Salina Fisher to arrange these mighty pieces for trio and voice. In this concert, Four Last Songs, we present that hero-piece nestled within a fascinating and varied collection, dialoguing works for trio with and without soprano.
In the first half of the programme, we fall into the ghostly embrace of Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s The spirit and the maiden, before Fisher’s Kintsugi contemplates the process of thorough and painstaking repair leading to far greater strength and beauty than before. Two songs, A Mirage & Stella Viatoris, are a treat from American composer Amy Beach, before we bask in the lush melancholy of Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise, preparing us for Salina Fisher’s poignant arrangements of Strauss’ final works.
With the support of a generous patron, NZTrio has commissioned New Zealand composer Salina Fisher to write arrangements of Strauss’ beloved Vier letzte Lieder for piano trio, and presents these iconic works with celebrated soprano Emma Pearson.

Event Details
Hypnotique presents a diverse array of works that challenges expectations of traditional chamber music. A whirlwind of motion typifies NZ composer Lyell Cresswell’s virtuosic Moto Perpetuo, ahead of Fauré’s Piano Trio in D minor with lyrical elegance and lush harmonic textures, contrasting with the percussive and electronic influences in Le Boeuf’s jazz-adjacent Obliquely Wrecked. Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin pays homage to Haydn, blending classical and contemporary styles in Calliope Dreaming, then finally, the full Romantic immersion of Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht is structured around the five stanzas of a poem; deeply transcendent and utterly beautiful.
