Resonance Ensemble presents "Myths and Legends"
2022-06-29 15:00 | The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch, 8140, New Zealand
Resonance Ensemble presents “Myths and Legends” on Wednesday 29th June 2022, 3.00 p.m at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch
Music by Dvorak and Prokofiev
Soprano Soloist: Helen Charlton
Christchurch’s innovative and unique orchestra Resonance Ensemble conducted by Tony Ryan brings another colourful and appealing programme to the stage of The Piano on Sunday 19 June at 3.00pm.
Dvořák’s Rusalka and Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kijé are two of music’s quintessential myths and legends.
Rusalka is Dvořák’s best-known opera and brings Slavic mythology vividly to life in the tale of a water nymph who longs to become human and does so with tragic results. The opera’s famous Song to the Moon is among the most loved of all operatic arias. Soprano Helen Charlton sings this wonderful piece, along with the equally well-known Songs My Mother Taught Me from Dvořák’s Gypsy Songs.
Dvořák’s popular Slavonic Dances reflect the pagan beliefs and superstitions of Czech folklore. These dances are full of vitality, colour and energy, and Resonance Ensemble has chosen three from each of the two sets as companions to the two vocal gems by Dvořák.
Prokofiev’s music for the 1934 Soviet film Lieutenant Kijé is typical of the composer’s quirky, original and engaging style. The film, set in the early nineteenth century, tells the story of an army officer, Lieutenant Kijé, who is invented as a scapegoat by court officials of the Tsar in order to deflect blame for their own mistakes. Things get a little tricky for the officials when the Tsar insists on meeting Kijé, and so they finally have to invent the story of his heroic death in battle.
Later in 1934 Prokofiev rewrote his Lieutenant Kijé film score as a five-movement concert suite. Two of these movements feature an optional vocal part which is rarely performed, but Resonance Ensemble, always looking to find something a bit different and unusual, is performing the version with singer, once again featuring the wonderful Helen Charlton as soloist.
Adults $25.00/$20.00, Child $5.00

“Tony Chen Lin is a true artist. Rarely have I encountered a finer musician who has something truly exceptional to say in music. He has a strong musical personality that speaks to audiences and possesses the technique which is expected today but also artistry which is not expected”. – Tamás Vásáry
Tony Chen Lin won the 40th New Zealand National Concerto Competition and is a multiple recipient of the Dame Malvina Major Foundation Arts Excellence Award. His 2018 debut album DIGRESSIONS, on Rattle Records, received critical acclaim while also reaching No.1 on the New Zealand Classical Chart.
After Tony completed his Bachelor of Music in piano and composition at Canterbury University in 2009, he moved to Europe where he completed his Master of Music and Konzertexamen (Soloist Diploma) with Distinction at the Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg, Germany. He also received mentoring from Balázs Szokolay and András Kemenes at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, and has benefited immensely from the mentorship of pianist Edith Fischer.
A passionate chamber musician, Tony won first prize with duo partner Sebastian Wyss in the 2019 Weiner Leó National Chamber Music Competition in Budapest. He has performed with the renowned Quatuor Sine Nomine and recently formed the Tasman Ensemble with Australian violinist Christina Lieberwirth-Morris.
Tony currently resides in Budapest.

Christopher's Classics Season XXVII - 2022 presents "Levansa Trio"
2022-07-28 19:30 | The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch, 8140, New Zealand
Christopher’s Classics Season XXVII – 2022 presents “Levansa Trio” on Thursday 28th July 2022, 7.30 p.m. at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch
Andrew Beer (violin)
Lev Sivkov (cello)
Sarah Watkins (piano)
Beethoven – Piano Trio in E-flat major, Op. 1 No. 1
Martinu – Trio No. 2 in D minor
Claire Cowan (NZ) – Ultraviolet
Georgy Sviridov – Piano Trio in A minor

​Andrew Beer is the concertmaster with the APO. Sarah Watkins has performed frequently for Christopher’s Classics (twice in 2021). Lev Sivkov last performed in Christchurch in 2019, playing the Elgar cello concerto with the CSO.

This programme features some well-known pieces along with a stunning piano trio by Sviridov, a 20th century Russian composer who studied under Shostakovich. We believe that this could be the first performance of this piece in New Zealand. This incredible work won the 1946 Stalin prize. Those who either hear or play Sviridov’s piano trio for the first time will wonder why we never hear this masterpiece in concert. It certainly belongs in the repertoire.
