Christopher’s Classics 30th Anniversary Season | 2025 presents “NZTrio”

Christopher’s Classics 30th Anniversary Season | 2025 presents “NZTrio” on Saturday 29th November 2025, 7.30 p.m. at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch

• Amalia Hall violin
• Ashley Brown cello
• Somi Kim piano

The NZTrio is recognised as a “national treasure” and “New Zealand’s most indispensable ensemble” (NZ Hearld).  Genre-busting in identity, the NZTrio present a diverse array of works that challenge expectations of traditional chamber music.

Lyle Cresswell’s virtuosic Moto Perpetuo opens, ahead of percussive and electronic influences in Le Boeuf’s jazz-adjacent Obliquely Wrecked.  Faure’s Piano Trio in D minor exhibits lyrical elegance, with lush harmonic textures, and Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin pays homage to Haydn, blending classical and contemporary styles in Calliope Dreaming.  Schonberg’s immersive finale Verklarte Nacht closes – a Romantic work structured around the five stanzas of a poem; deeply transcendent and utterly beautiful.

• Lyle Cresswell Moto perpetuo
• Pascal Le Boeuf Obliquely Wrecked
• Gabriel Faure Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 120
• Elena Kats-Chernin Calliope Dreaming
• Arnold Schonberg Verklarte Nacht arr. for piano trio
