The Enchanted Isle

Solo piano recital by William Green. From Bach to Gershwin and Barber, Wagner to Lilburn and Body, this solo piano recital focuses on the small and the lyrical - often clothed in the unusual! A special emphasis on New Zealand music includes the premiere of William Green’s “Rags
Without Riches”, a quirky salute to the world of ragtime.
