An exciting programme featuring a brand new marimba quintet (marimba and string quartet - not 5 marimbas!) by New York-based NZ composer, Ed Ware, along with Beethoven's "Eyeglass" Duo, performed by the same musicians (Gillian Ansell and James Tennant) who played it in the first Festival in 1992. And don't miss the final Beethoven cello sonata played by the brilliant musicians Andrew Joyce, NZSO principal cellist, and Denes Varjon.
New Zealand String Quartet, Ian Rosenbaum (marimba), James Tennant (cello), Andrew Joyce (cello), Dénes Varjon (piano)
