Described as a “national treasure” and “New Zealand’s most indispensable ensemble” NZTrio is renowned for its eclectic repertoire, outstanding talent and warm kiwi stage presence. In this new collaborative project they team up with established contemporary artist

Simon Ingram and collaborators John-Paul Pochin and Kamahi Electronics, to present Rhythms of the Brain. Including brand new commission Asymptote, from accomplished NZ composer Alex Taylor, this visceral experience combines the exceptional musical talents of Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello) and Somi Kim (piano) and interprets their brain patterns as a visual work of art.

The Dunedin Arts Festival presents the world premiere of this fascinating exploration of the inner workings of the brain and its response to musical stimuli, captured in real time with an EEG headset and interpreted through specially developed software onto canvas over the duration of the performance.

LEGACY 3

Shortened version of one hour, no interval with selections from:

Schumann – Sechs Stücke in kanonischer Form, Op. 56 arr. for Piano Trio,  V & VI
Gao Ping – 寻山 Searching for the Mountain (new commission)*
Schuller – Piano Trio
Tchaikovsky – Piano Trio in A minor, Op 50

The final saga begins with Schumann weaving his love of Bach’s counterpoint with his own natural fountainhead of fantasy, presented in an arrangement by his friend and colleague Kirchner. The chromatic spectrum is explored further in Schuller’s trio, embodying his jazz roots with colleagues Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, and acknowledging his place in American composers’ royalty. Gao Ping’s NZ legacy continues long after his return to China in this brand new commission. The journey concludes with the largest, most symphonic piano trio of all – Tchaikovsky’s expansive and magnificent work written  in memory of Nikolai Rubinstein – “À la mémoir d’un grand artiste”.
