CLASSICAL EXPRESSIONS 2015
Classical Expressions has always been a mixture of the familiar and the unexpected. Alongside Michael Houstoun presenting his 'Inspired by Bach' programme and the New Zealand Trio with a typically eclectic selection, we have Expressions debutantes Halida Dinova with a pianistic programme in the grand Russian manner and an ensemble of guitars - the New Zealand Guitar Quartet perfomring favourite music and new sounds. Chamber Music New Zealand's Turnovsky Jubilee Ensemble brings together some of the country's most distinguished chamber musicians, all alumni of the School's Chamber Music Competition to celebrate its 50th anniversary, making Classical Expressions 2015 another diversely exciting programme.
