NZTrio He Taonga Wairere, New Zealand’s foremost piano trio, is renowned for its eclectic repertoire, outstanding talent and warm kiwi stage presence.
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, then 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.

Joaquín Turina – Circulo
