Warkworth Music’s third concert of the year gives music lovers a chance to hear an exciting new trio featuring three of Orchestra Wellington’s principal players.
Formed in 2015, Toru is a chamber music trio, presenting the intriguing combination of Ingrid Bauer on harp, Karen Batten on flute and Sophia Acheson on viola.
Toru’s programme includes the first major work for harp, flute and viola written by Claude Debussy in 1915. This sonata has captured the imaginations of composers, performers and audiences ever since.
Also on the programme is Fantasy Sonata by Arnold Bax – a piece that moves from impressionism to melodies and dance rhythms, giving the music a distinctly Irish character.
In addition, the trio will play the quirky and entertaining “Zoological” character pieces of Wendelin Bitzen and an arrangement of a Beethoven serenade.
Toru perform at Ascension Wine Estate, 480 Matakana Road, Warkworth, on Saturday, May 19 at 5pm. Tickets $35 at the door, school students free.
