Described as a “national treasure” and “New Zealand’s most indispensable ensemble” (William Dart, NZ Herald), NZTrio is renowned for its eclectic repertoire, outstanding talent and warm Kiwi stage presence. Immerse yourself in the enigmatic melancholy of Elena Kats-Chernin’s mysterious Intermezzo Days, before frightening the demons away with Gareth Farr’s quirky Mondo Rondo, and finally veering towards trance as Matthew Hindson’s Piano Trio bursts with a fusion of styles and influences for the modern-day “epic diva”. Bringing together three incredibly accomplished artists: Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello) and Somi Kim (piano), every NZTrio performance powerfully reaffirms the importance and cathartic nature of a live musical experience in today’s digital world. Expect to be affected. This performance is part of the Auckland Live Morning Melodies 2025 season. In its 24th year, this much-loved monthly concert series features a fantastic line-up of brass bands, jazz ensembles, and more. Arrive early and connect with friends new and old over complimentary tea and biscuits before the show.
