WED 8 APRIL 2020, 7:30PM Born and raised in Finland, Vesa-Matti Leppänen moved to New Zealand in 2000. For well over a decade he has been Concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and has earned international recognition as a chamber musician, teacher, adjudicator and soloist. Vesa-Matti Leppänen has gathered an impressive group of friends, including principal players from the NZSO, to perform a programme that shines a light on the sensational horn playing of Samuel Jacobs. After several years playing principal horn in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Samuel returned to New Zealand in 2017 to take up a permanent position with our national orchestra. The ensemble will perform the most cherished piece of chamber music for horn, Mozart’s Quintet, and will be joined by a second horn player from the NZSO to play a rarely performed work, Beethoven’s Sextet in E flat Major. To mark the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, the group will also perform his String Trio in E flat as part of their programme. |

SAT 13 JUNE 2020, 6.00PM Theme for the night “MUSIC SPEAKS WHEN WORDS FAIL” Our children and youth are the future of our families, governments, churches, countries and our world! Ignite Kids offers how sweet the sound and the power of the music to grow their relationship with God at a level they understand and helps them to make right decisions in life We know that parenting is hard, but “ When Words Fail, Music Speaks" (Hans Christian Andersen) Anyone can speak. Anyone can give advice or comfort one another with words. But, no matter what is said, how carefully those words are spoken; they always fail to express one's emotions as deeply as they intend. Music gives those words a new tone, a new viewpoint It gives those words a mood, and the melody of it almost speaks for the words. Music is something powerful, something that can't be defined in one way. No matter age, race, religion, sexual orientation, we all use music as an escape from the cruel world we live in. We like to remember the times where we suffered, and the songs we listened to while we found the will to stand back up and go on. Tickets $10 available from Faatasi Tupua on 027 3570459 or [email protected] |
