Waimakariri Community Arts Council present "Menzies/Endres Duo"
2023-07-05 19:30 | Chamber Gallery Rangiora, 141 Percival Street, Rangiora, 7400, New Zealand
The Waimakariri Community Arts Council proudly presents the Menzies/Endres Duo in partnership with Chamber Music New Zealand.
Internationally-acclaimed violinist and violist Mark Menzies and celebrated pianist Michael Endres bring their monumental programme to our beautiful Chamber Gallery in Rangiora.
Menzies/Endres Duo
Wednesday 5 July, 7.30pm
Chamber Gallery, Rangiora
Adults $35 Students $15
Tickets are available at Rangiora Library and also on eventfinda (fees apply).
Power and virtuosity define the fiery duo. Both renowned soloists, Menzies and Endres come together to tackle cornerstone works of the violin and piano repertoire with fresh and thrilling interpretations. From their first performance together playing Beethoven’s ‘Kreutzer’ sonata, the teeswo shared an instant connection—a discovery that inevitably led to further collaboration and this ambitious programme.
The duo’s artistic force is apparent from the opener, Schubert’s Rondo brillant, one of the composer’s display pieces which is equally demanding in both the violin and piano parts. Menzies and Endres’ rendition of Schnittke’s epic Violin Sonata No 2 (quasi una sonata) affirms their reputation as master performers, taking audiences on an exhilarating ride. Salina Fisher’s Mono no aware (物の哀れ) follows the bold Schnittke, offering a welcome moment of delicate contemplation. Referring to the elusive beauty of ephemeral moments, the piece’s delicate interweaving melodies were inspired by a time of transition in the New Zealand composer’s life.
The Menzies/Endres Duo close their colossal programme with the piece that sparked their initial connection: Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No 9, Op 47. With the illustrious ‘Kreutzer’, Beethoven has both instruments playing daring, highly virtuosic, concerto style music. Ultimately, the duo’s terrific level of skill and intensity are sure to keep concertgoers on the edge of their seat from beginning to end.
