Trio Pohadka present Klezmer and Nordic tunes, 10 August

Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries

Doctors With Instruments from the acclaimed ensemble Pohadka launch the Spring series with a stunning programme contrasting icy and mystical Scandinavian music with warm and upbeat Jewish tunes. The Trio will explore lesser known pieces by Nordic composers Emil Hartmann and Peter Heise. These will be contrasted with the exuberant Klezmer style championed by the Trio with the tunes from Hungarian composer Béla Kovács and Canadian composer Srul Irving Glick. The combination of clarinet, cello and piano, coupled with an innovative repertoire will appeal to both experienced and casual classical music listeners .
