A MULLED WINE CONCERTS PRESENTATION
On Sunday 27 June the beautiful beachfront Memorial Hall in Paekakariki will feature two performers who can truly be described as playing at the highest level of chamber music.
RNZ Concert has recently featured violinist Andrew Beer and pianist Sarah Watkins - Kapiti concertgoers will have the opportunity to hear them live as part of the Mulled Wine Concert series.
Canadian-born Andrew Beer (violin) has been described as a “musical gift” (NY Times) with a “glorious string tone” (Strad magazine). Having performed extensively throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia as soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader, Andrew has served as Concertmaster of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra since 2014, and has performed as guest Concertmaster with the CBSO (Birmingham), Hallé (Manchester), MSO (Melbourne), ASO (Adelaide), VSO (Vancouver) and NZSO (Wellington). He will be accompanied by pianist Sarah Watkins, herself no stranger to Paekakariki - this will be her fifth appearance!
Sarah’s passion for accompanying and chamber music has led to an impressive career as a performer and recording artist. A graduate of the University of Canterbury (NZ), Sarah went on to earn both MM and DMA degrees from the Juilliard School (NY - USA). She has played as a founding member of the renowned NZTrio for 16 years and now enjoys a wide variety of collaborations with musicians all over New Zealand. She has been an official pianist for the Michael Hill International Violin Competition since its inception in 2001 and the Gisborne International Music Competition since 2008, and regularly appears as a freelance player in the APO.
Together, Andrew and Sarah were awarded the prize for Best Classical Artists at the 2020NZ Music Awards for their album "11 Frames" Their programme in Paekakariki will include Mozart's Sonata in A major and Cesar Franck's Sonata for violin and piano, two giants of the violin and piano repertoire. They will also feature pieces by New Zealander Gillian Whitehead and Florence Price, a wonderful African American composer from the 1920's who is starting to get a lot more airplay.
Kapiti's discerning concert audiences will need no persuading to hear this superb duo in action!

"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."

Just to let you know that if you are planning on coming to the NZ Art Show this weekend, it is probably best to take the train. Here's info from the NZ Art Show website:
***UPDATE, just been informed Kapiti line will be replaced by buses this weekend too...never mind, car option might be best still for Kapiti, lol. ***
"Jervois Quay, in front of the TSB Arena, will be closed in both directions commencing Thursday June 3rd from 7pm until 6am Tuesday June 8th. Much needed storm water pipes are being installed.
The NZ Art Show is taking place in the TSB Arena over this Queens Birthday period. We apologise for the inconvenience but we know that the effort to visit the NZ Art Show will be worth it!
Southbound detours will be in place along Featherston Street, Hunter Street, Victoria Street and Willeston Street and northbound drivers will have a range of options along Lambton Quay, The Terrace and SH1.
The Wilson carpark underneath Queens Wharf will be available as normal – access will be via via Lady Elizabeth Lane, opposite Whitmore Street.
Traffic will be controlled and it will be clearly signposted. A separate temporary drop off and loading area will be available for picking up your purchases.
See the map below for the closure details and rest assured we will keep you updated at all times.
We thank you for your patience and encourage you to visit the NZ Art Show – so much creative NZ talent all under one roof – don’t let road works get in your way!
I can assure you that we will do everything we can to minimise the impact, the timing is not ideal and we are disappointed, but this work is important for the city and we remain positive."
Many thanks and hope to see you there!
