Trio to play in Ka¯ piti
New Zealand’s acclaimed international classical trio, Te Ko¯ kı¯ Trio are performing at
Ka¯ piti Uniting Parish on Sunday May 5.
The trio is the ensemble-inresidence at Te Ko¯ kı¯, the New Zealand School of Music, where pianist Jian Liu heads the classical performance programme, cellist Inbal Megiddo is a senior lecturer and violinist Martin Riseley is head of strings.
All have extensive careers as professional musicians both nationally and internationally, with appearances at famed venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln and Kennedy Centres.
As a trio, they regularly perform in Australia, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, as well as throughout New Zealand.
In the first half of their performance at the Ka¯ piti Uniting Parish’s twice-yearly recital they will play solos by Liszt, Paganini, de Sarasate and other classical composers.
They will perform Ravel’s colourful Piano Trio in A minor, written on the eve of World War I and recognised as one of the most significant works for piano trio.
“We’re delighted to have this stunning, internationallyacclaimed trio playing here at the beach,” said Ralph Martin on behalf of his organising team, which includes Ka¯ piti music identity Peter Averi.
“We know the church’s muchpraised acoustics will do full justice to the trio’s performance. Jian, Martin and Inbal tell us they are looking forward to chatting with our concertgoers over a leisurely afternoon tea after the recital.”
The concert is at Kapiti Uniting Parish church, 10 Weka Rd, Raumati Beach at 2.15pm on Sunday May 5.
