Christchurch Symphony Orchestra presents "White Horses"
2023-05-06 19:30 - 21:30 | Christchurch Town Hall, Kilmore Street, Christchurch, 8011
Christchurch Symphony Orchestra presents “White Horses” on Saturday 6th May 2023, 7.30 p.m. in Douglas Lilburn Auditorium, Christchurch Town Hall, Kilmore Street, Christchurch
This concert shines the spotlight on two talented New Zealanders. Now Brooklyn-based Gemma Peacocke’s White Horses was inspired by the mystery of Viva Waud Farmar, WWI nurse and one of Aotearoa’s first female pilots.
Christchurch-born violinist Benjamin Morrison is the only New Zealander to win a seat in the Vienna Philharmonic, and he returns to dazzle hometown audiences with Dvořák’s virtuosic Violin Concerto. Brahms’ second symphony is often described as a cheerful ‘pastoral,’ but also features stormy moments, and is best experienced live for the full rush of symphonic waves. Brahms spoke candidly about the challenges of being a young German composer writing symphonies in Beethoven’s shadow, but his four symphonies have become beloved staples of the Romantic orchestral repertoire.
Jessica Cottis – Conductor
Benjamin Morrison – Violin
Gemma Peacocke – White Horses

Christopher’s Classics Season XXVIII – 2023 presents “Duo Enharmonics” on Thursday 4th May 2023, 7.30 p.m. at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch

Schubert – Fantasy in F Minor D.940

Rachmaninov – Six Morceaux Op.11
Strauss/Anderson – Blue Danube Fantasy
New Zealand classical music team Duo Enharmonics is energising classical music through their virtuosic and emotionally thrilling programmes. The “unanimity of feeling” that one reviewer notes arises from their shared musical vision, which is seen in their harmonised physical gestures and heard in their remarkably synched sonic utterances. Their physical and musical gestures are saturated with subtleties of nuance only made possible after years of full-time duo partnership.
