The highly-acclaimed New Zealand String Quartet presents a programme from five major Asian composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
These much-lauded classical composers, including Tan Dun, Gao Ping, Toru Takemitsu, Chinary Ung and Zhou Long from Cambodia, Japan and China, find musical inspiration in both their individual heritage and their experiences in the West.
Programme
Tan Dun Eight Colors (China)
Toru Takemitsu A Way a Lone (Japan)
Gao Ping Bright Light and (China) Cloud Shadows
Chinary Ung SPIRAL III (Cambodia)
Zhou Long Song of the Ch’in (China)
Much loved for their imaginative programming and insightful interpretations of the string quartet repertoire, the New Zealand String Quartet’s performance will captivate and delight. Helene Pohl and Douglas Beilman play violin, Gillian Ansell plays viola and Rolf Gjelsten, cello.
"I believe that imagination, expressivity, and emotion evoke a sense of Eastern romanticism in my music that parallels some of the music-making in numerous lands of Asia”
- Chinary Ung (CAMBODIA)
