Pianist Rachel Thomson with cellist Inbal Megiddo.
Warkworth Music will present Cello Journey at the Warkworth Town Hall this month – a concert featuring two of Aotearoa’s top chamber musicians.
Warkworth Music says Inbal Megiddo (cello) and Rachel Thomson (piano) will take the audience on a musical OE with cherished pieces chosen to explore different musical cultures, styles and periods.
“Join the duo as they enjoy the Spanish nightlife with de Falla, glimpse Japanese culture with Salina Fisher and bask in the Russian countryside with Shostakovich, before ending up in the German concert hall with Brahms.”
Inbal Megiddo holds graduate and undergraduate degrees from Yale University and has performed as soloist with many of the world’s great orchestras in major concert halls around the world. Her work has included recitals at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall and the Staatsoper in Berlin.
She has also been guest artist at festivals, including the International Cello Congress in Japan and Israel, the Beijing International Chamber Music Festival and the Melbourne Cello Festival. She has given masterclasses at institutions around the world, including many of the major music schools. In high demand as a teacher, Ms Megiddo is currently Senior Lecturer in cello at the New Zealand School of Music.
Pianist Rachel Thomson grew up in Wellington and studied music at Victoria University. She gained a doctorate in piano performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music in the United States and is active as a teacher, adjudicator and accompanist.
The concert takes place at Warkworth Town Hall on Sunday, May 16, at 4pm. Tickets are $35 at the door, school students are free.
