St Matthew’s Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Wellington’s Michael Joel and featuring violin soloist Lara Hall, returns to Warkworth to perform its Mozart Larks concert this month.
The concert includes two iconic works for violin and orchestra, Mozart’s Concerto No 4 and Vaughan Williams’ Lark Ascending, plus Mozart’s great G minor symphony.
Hall has taught violin and viola at Waikato University since her return to New Zealand in 2006. After obtaining a B.Mus at the University of Auckland, her study included a Doctorate at the University of Michigan and a summer in the Juilliard School of Music Dorothy DeLay Studio.
Hall has toured internationally and given masterclasses all over the world. She is currently the concertmaster of Opus Orchestra and a founding member of the New Zealand Chamber Soloists.
St Matthew’s Chamber Orchestra is a non-profit cooperative made up of musicians who all play for their love of music. Although it is an amateur orchestra, it rehearses and performs like a professional one.
It engages a different guest conductor for each concert, which provides concertgoers with an exciting variety of orchestral music performed to a very high standard.
The concert will be held in the Warkworth Town Hall on Saturday, September 14, starting at 4pm.
Tickets are $40 (non-members), $30 (members), $10 tertiary students and school students are free.
