Warkworth Music kicks off its 2018 concert programme with the Mazzoli Trio, a string trio playing Haydn, Françaix, Schubert and more on Sunday, March 18 at the Old Masonic Hall, Warkworth.
Formed in 2015, the emerging musicians are based in Auckland and have all been participants or winners of the New Zealand Community Trust Chamber Music Contest.
The trio has toured China and been the ensemble-in-residence at the Akaroa Summer Music Festival 2017.
Individually and as a group they have received several prestigious awards and secured performing opportunities around the world.
Warkworth Music’s concert season offers a diverse range of experiences, with seven chamber music concerts, and an additional event in October outside the subscription series.
This last concert is a collaboration between Warkworth Music and the Auckland Opera Studio, who are joining forces to host a performance in Warkworth by some of New Zealand’s most exceptional opera singers.
On Sunday, April 22, three pianists from The University of Auckland Music Department will give a recital at the Warkworth Town Hall.
The third concert of the year is Toru, a new trio consisting of three acclaimed musicians from Orchestra Wellington, playing flute, viola and harp. This concert will be held at the Ascension Wine Estate on May 19.
Jazz enthusiasts won’t want to miss Ol’ King Cole, who play at the Warkworth Town Hall on Saturday, June 23. This Wellington-based jazz trio performs music inspired by the great Nat ‘King’ Cole and other artists of his era.
The exciting clarinet, violin and piano free-form ensemble, Klara Kollektiv, will play at the Town Hall on July 21.
Although harp and trombone may seem like an unlikely combination, the musicians who make up Parp!, will play a wide repertoire at the Old Masonic Hall on August 26. They promise to take their instruments on new adventures.
The subscription season finishes on a high with The Kugels, who perform in the Matakana Village Hall on September 8. A love of Klezmer folk music has drawn together the musician’s combined talents – all prominent soloists in their own right. A fantastic way to bring a varied concert season to an end.
All this year’s concerts will all start at 5pm. Membership, subscription information and details of the full programme can be found on the website, warkworthmusic.org.nz.
