Janet Jennings Prelude, Fugue, Variations and Chaconne
Eve de Castro-Robinson Three Thumbnails
Ludwig van Beethoven Septet in Eb major
We are thrilled to announce our concert on July 16. The Septet by Beethoven is a truly magnificent work of symphonic proportions economically written for seven instruments. Beethoven exploits this scoring for dramatic and lyrical effects complemented with dance-like fun and energetic rhythms.
Three Thumbnails by Eve de Castro-Robinson is a whimsical exploration of texts by Eric Satie, John Cage and Igor Stravinsky. The vocal soloist is Barbara Paterson. Native New Yorker, world-educated polyglot and professional vocalist based in Aotearoa New Zealand, Barbara is a sought-after interpreter of contemporary and experimental music, art song, and chamber music. She is a keen interdisciplinary artistic collaborator and has extensive experience as an operatic and concert singer. Barbara is also a passionate music educator who believes in the role of music to enliven and strengthen communities.
Janet Jennings' Prelude, Fugue, Variations and Chaconne came in at number 10 on RNZ Concert's 2022 "Settling the Score". It's a beautiful piece for flute, bassoon and piano which explores musical structures from the past that still resonate today.
