The Waikanae Music Society is hosting the Ghost Piano Trio, an ensemble which will be touring for Chamber Music New Zealand.
On Sunday 3 August violinist Monique Lapins, cellist Ken Ichinose and pianist Gabriela Glapska will perform music by Beethoven (the famous “Ghost Trio” trio from which the ensemble has taken their
name).
There will be brief items by Japanese composer Takemitsu and New Zealand’s Glen Downie before the trio perform Shostakovich’s Trio No 2. Written in 1944 when the world was in turmoil this is one of the composer’s most forceful and moving works.
WHEN: Sunday August 3 at 2.30pm
WHERE: Waikanae Memorial Hall.
