Elouan Quartet with Bridget Douglas (flute)
Waikanae Memorial Hall, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast
SUN 19 JUL 2:30 P.M.
Waikanae Music Society presents the Elouan Quartet with Bridget Douglas (flute) in a concert featuring a wide variety of music for flute and strings. All of the ensemble are prominent New Zealand Symphony Orchestra members and their concert is part of a nation-wide Chamber Music New Zealand tour. The performance opens with a quintet by popular Australian composer Elena Kats Chernin, followed by one of the best-loved works for flute and string – Mozart’s Flute Quartet. A novel item follows with New Zealand composer’s Ken Wilson’s Introduction, Theme and Variations, which will showcase Bridget Douglas playing on an extremely rare piccolo. Ken Wilson was a foundation clarinettist of the National Orchestra of New Zealand (now NZSO) and the piccolo belonged to the orchestra’s flautist Richard Giese, who had a vast collection of unusual instruments. The Elouan strings will then present one of Beethoven’s legendary last works – the String Quartet No 16 in F major. On a lighter note the concert will close with Nightclub from Astor Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango. The concert will be at 2.30pm in the Waikanae Memorial Hall. Door sales available or tickets can be bought from Waikanae New World and Moby Dicken's Books in Paraparaumu Beach. Ticket enquiries: www.waikanaemusic.org.nz
