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.
