Sunday Matinee Series presents TACH Baroque Quartet SUNDAY OCTOBER 31, 2:30PM The TACH Baroque Quartet returns to the Globe Sunday Matinee series to perform a programme of music of the eighteenth century for flute, violin, cello and harpsichord by the German Telemann, the French Couperin and Rameau. Almost completely self-taught in music, Telemann is one of the most prolific composers in history, and was compared favourably by his contemporaries both to his friends Bach, and Handel. In 1730 he wrote twelve such quartets, two of which will be performed in this concert. Similar music was being created in France with a quite different flavour, as will be apparent in the piece by Couperin on the programme. Harpsichord player Roy Tankersley will perform two colourful pieces by Rameau depicting swirls of dust in a high wind, and the pecking of a hen. As a foil to the Baroque music the programme will include a piece by twentieth century Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos for flute and cello – ‘Jet Whistle.’ Flute - Ingrid Culliford ENTRY: By donation - suggested $5 |

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2:30PM For the final concert of the 2021 Globe Sunday Matinee series Christine Archer-Lockwood and Guy Donaldson present a programme of Duet Dances and Diversions. In recent years they have performed duo concerts on two pianos, but for this concert they share the one piano stool at the Steinway piano. Some of the music to be performed is amongst the most popular in the classical repertoire, including Dvorak’s own arrangement of one of his orchestral Slavonic Dances, Bizet’s arrangement of some of his Children’s Games Suite, and a nineteenth century arrangement of Mendelssohn’s great work – the Hebrides Overture, otherwise known as Fingal’s Cave. But the concert has some surprises as well. The setting of eight variations on a theme by Count Waldstein is little known, partly because it is an early work. However, it represents a statement to the musical world by the young Beethoven that his music is about to represent a break from the Classical tradition in its inventiveness and prodigious maturity. The central piece on the programme is American composer John Corigliano’s Gazebo Dances. The performers are grateful for their discovery of this great work, which is whimsical and diverting for the audience, and technically challenging for the performers. Equally amusing is a short foxtrot by New Zealand composer Edwin Carr. ENTRY: By donation - Suggested $5 |

My name is Wolfgang, and I’ll be your tour guide this evening… Here, as we near the end of the nineteenth century, Vienna is the very heart of the famous Habsburg Empire. Caffeine addicts, worry not, this is a café society. Art lovers – this is a cultural centre. We’ll experience it all. Follow me! However, please do not stray from the tour path. Or you may find yourself confronted with the erotic ‘pornography’ of artists Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. Or telling your secrets to neurologist Sigmund Freud. Or lost down some dark alley listening to the radical new musical ideas of composers Arnold Schoenberg, Berg, or Webern. And if you really venture into the shadows, you might find lurking there a failed art student who will change the course of the twentieth century. Consider yourself warned! But enough doom and gloom. I’m pleased to see you all dressed up as it’s very likely you’ll be dancing to waltzes by Strauss at some sumptuous ball before the night is through. Just another night here in Vienna! Donald Armstrong, associate concertmaster for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, leads members of the Amici Ensemble and 2020 NZCT Chamber Music Contest winners Ravelation for ANOTHER NIGHT IN VIENNA – blending letters, ephemera and chamber music into a dramatic journey through one of the world’s most important cities during one of its most fascinating periods.
