Vieux Amis (“Old Friends”) brings together 3 friends, neighbours and long-standing colleagues. A carefully crafted programme that draws equally on the varied expertise of three of Aotearoa’s most accomplished chamber musicians: James’s exquisite baroque practice and Sarah and Justine’s shared experiences with NZTrio’s modern outlook. The first half focusses on J.S.Bach and Arvo Pärt; the second half opens with a Shostakovich prelude and fugue and is followed by Shostakovich’s second piano trio.
