NZ Trio

NZ Trio thrives on pushing the boundaries of classical music. Their exhilarating interpretations of the masterworks, committed performances of fascinating new pieces and genre-crossing collaborations continue to impress audiences around NZ and the world.

This event will be the first classical Black Barn has held outside of the amphitheatre and proves to be as enthralling in the Underground Cellar with up-lit trees and braziers surrounding the venue.

Violinist Justine Cormack, cellist Ashley Brown and pianist Sarah Watkins first joined forces in 2002 and were Ensemble in Residence at The University of Auckland from 2004-2009. From the outset, their artistry, intensity, and approachability has captivated music lovers throughout New Zealand, Brazil, the US and UK, China, Korea and Indonesia. Recent highlights include appearances at the 2009 Shanghai Spring Festival, the 2008 Beijing Modern Music Festival and performances of both the Beethoven Triple Concerto and Gareth Farr’s Triple Concerto with the Vector Wellington, Christchurch Symphony and Auckland Philharmonia Orchestras.

The Trio actively commissions works by leading New Zealand composers, and collaborates with musicians of diverse musical styles. More recently, their commitment to commissioning and performing new music has expanded to include emerging and established composers from China, with their 2009 concert season featuring works by Chen Yi, Musheng Chen and Mike Yuen.

One show only in Black Barn ‘Underground Cellar’ be in quick tickets are limited.
