Next concert at the Auckland Museum is on Saturday 28 August at 8pm
Continuing to celebrate Schumann's 200th anniversary, the concert begins with two divine duos from the German master, then takes a major turn into a crossover world of film and music with New Zealander David Downes' Kingdom - premiered by the trio earlier this year to a fascinated audience at the International Festival of the Arts in Wellington. This is your chance to experience the multimedia work's quirky black humour and dynamic energy. The trio will then launch into the luscious Russian romanticism of Tchaikovsky's mighty Piano Trio.
Schumann Adagio and Allegro for cello and piano, Opus 70
Schumann Fantasiestucke for violin and piano, Opus 73
