Celebrate the joy of live music in a one hour recital series on Sundays at 4pm at The Piano.
Pianist Mark Menzies describes this programme as "A Raranga of Delights & Surprises" weaving together ideas from the European piano tradition and our beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand landscape.
Two of Brahms' intensely personal compositions frame the programme; in between sit two works reimagined with Aotearoa flavour and improvisations on Eric Satie's 5th Gnossienne (with birds) & Bartok's Two Major Pentachords (with trees) and a duet of baroque surprises via Francis Couperin, and the baroque-like evocations of Mompou. At the heart of the programme is Gillian Whitehead's moving Voices of Tane.
Mark Menzies will be joined by two special guests for an intriguing surprise finale to round out this thoughtfully crafted afternoon of music.
