The first of the subscription concerts for Chamber Music Wanganui s 2021 series will take place on Wednesday, March 17 at 7.30pm in the Prince Edward Auditorium of Whanganui Collegiate School.
This is a concert with a difference, drawing on a heritage theme and presented in an informal manner with something for all musical tastes.
Hammers & Horsehair duo Douglas Mews (piano) and Robert Ibell (cello) toured extensively around Aotearoa in 2016, 2018 and 2020.
Their concert in Whanganui is the first of a six-stop tour of the North Island in which they are joined by well-known Wellington soprano Rowena Simpson to reimagine the triumphant 1922 New Zealand tour of Blenheim-born Rosina Buckman (soprano) with Adelina Leon (cello) and Percy Kahn (pianist-composer).

Chamber Music Wanganui is hosting a rescheduled concert to be given in the Concert Chamber of the Whanganui War Memorial Centre on Sunday, February 21 at 4pm.
In April and May last year, pianist Jun Bouterey-Ishido s solo tour for Chamber Music NZ was cancelled due to the pandemic. Chamber Music Wanganui is delighted to be able to offer this concert opportunity for Jun as part of his rescheduled tour.
Lasting about one hour, Jun s programme involves a wide-ranging journey through musical lands and epochs, including Chopin s Polish dances (a selection of waltzes and Mazurkas), Bartók s rustic Central and East-European dances and songs alongside a Haydn Sonata and music by Debussy.
