A concert of works by international and New Zealand composers who influenced and were influenced by Arvo Pärt. The evening also includes a performance of Pärt’s haunting "Fratres".

The Karlheinz Company, based at The University of Auckland School of Music was founded by John Rimmer and gave its first concert in 1978, a programme including Stockhausen’s "Klavierstuck IX", Berio’s "O King" and Rimmer’s "Thoughts from Peria". Gradually there developed a programming philosophy of combining more adventurous names within the established twentieth century composers (so not resting too much within the familiarity of Prokofiev, Bartok and Hindemith) with classics (Varese, Stravinsky), and new music from New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region. As much as possible all styles are represented, and particular care is taken to include work of younger composers where possible.
