Sunday afternoon concert - 14th Feb 3pm, Harvest Centre Malfroy Rd, Rotorua
Looking for something a bit different to do on the afternoon of February 14th, after a leisurely lunch or before a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner?
Check out this unusual chamber music concert in which the Bay of Plenty Symphonia present ‘4 seasons’ – with a difference! - at 3pm at the Harvest Centre, Malfroy Road, Rotorua.
Everybody loves Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’ concertos – musical pictures of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In this concert, Vivaldi’s seasons are interspersed with the jazzy, tango-inspired ‘Four Seasons of Buenos Aires’ by Astor Piazzolla – a concert of fascinating contrasts with a common theme.
The performance features guest soloists Andrew Beer (violin – concertmaster of Auckland Philharmonia) and Ashley Brown (cello – founder member of NZTrio), who have plenty of opportunity to display the versatility and virtuosity of their playing. They are joined by a small group of string players from Bay of Plenty Symphonia, including four local Rotorua players; harpsichord player Chalium Poppy and BOP Symphonia conductor Justus Rozemond.
It’s very exciting to have this music brought to our doorstep so we would love to see you there! The soloists are amazing and our local players would love your support.
Tickets $5 for 18 and under; $20 Adult – from Eventfinda and i-SITE (booking fees apply). Door sales – cash only!
