If you can’t wait until the Martinborough Music Festival in September for a quality chamber music fix in Martinborough, NZTrio is here to help.
Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's wine country, Martinborough has charmed its way into the hearts of plenty of Kiwis, and NZTrio’s Ashley Brown is one of them.
After performing at the Martinborough Music Festival in 2023, Ashley is looking forward to returning with violinist Amalia Hall (another of the Martinborough Music Festival’s alumni) and guest pianist Sarah Watkins as part of their May national tour.
While on the road the musicians love getting the chance to perform in places where audiences respond to NZTrio’s trademark relaxed stage presence and engagement with concert goers.
“We’re so glad we were able to include Martinborough in this tour. We always enjoy performing in nearby Greytown, and we know that Martinborough also has an amazing community of arts lovers and chamber music fans,” said Ashley.
“Every venue has its own unique feel, and we look forward to sharing the music that we make together and the interaction and response of the audience.”
As part of their nationwide tour, the Trio will perform Mendelssohn’s famously impassioned Piano Trio in D Minor, captivating audiences with its emotional depth and virtuosity. In addition to this classic masterpiece, the concert will also feature a fascinating array of newer works by renowned composers such as Britten, Auerbach, and New Zealand’s own Chris Cree Brown.
For residents and visitors alike, this concert presents a wonderful opportunity to experience world-class music in the intimate setting of Martinborough’s Town Hall.
Presented by NZTrio in association with the Martinborough Music Festival. Tickets available at: eventfinda.co.nz.
