Triptych 1: Unquiet Dream

16 May 2024

Journey through the contrasting musical landscapes of four distinctive composers. 


Benjamin Britten | Introduction and Allegro for piano trio
Lera Auerbach | Trio No. 2 Triptych – This Mirror Has Three Faces
Chris Cree Brown | New Work
Felix Mendelssohn | Trio in D minor Op. 49

Beginning with Benjamin Britten's 'Introduction and Allegro for Piano Trio', a masterpiece that showcases his distinctive harmonic language and rhythmic vitality.
Next, immerse yourself in the enigmatic world of Lera Auerbach's 'Trio No. 2 Triptych - This Mirror Has Three Faces', a thought-provoking exploration of reflection, identity, and transformation, structured as a triptych with three distinct movements, each inviting introspection.
Adding a touch of Aotearoa is a new work by a talented New Zealand composer Chris Cree Brown.
Finally, we conclude with the rich and expressive 'Trio in D minor Op. 49' by Felix Mendelssohn, which beautifully balances classical structure with Romantic lyricism.

*Note: Triptych 1 will be performed with guest pianist Sarah Watkins.
