QUINTESSENCE
NEW ZEALAND STRING QUARTET & JAMES DUNHAM THE BRAHMS & MOZART EXPERIENCE
QUINTESSENCE MINI FESTIVAL: 3 CONCERTS. 1 DAY. Mozart created a new sound world when he wrote his first double-viola quintet and his later works are at the pinnacle of chamber music repertoire. The New Zealand String Quartet and Grammy-nominated violist James Dunham perform these timeless masterpieces alongside Brahms’ most eloquent chamber works to give audiences the ultimate quintet experience. Make a day of it and catch the morning coffee concert performed by the Pettman Players, a brilliant group of emerging young artists, the afternoon discussion with Frances Moore titled Five on a Musical Adventure and in the evening hear the premiere of a new commission written especially for this tour by NZ composer Salina Fisher.
