2021-10-27 12:15 - 13:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | St Andrews Church, 30 The Terrace, Wellington, 6011, Wellington, The Terrace, 6011, New Zealand
Douglas Mews plays Frescobaldi Toccatas and Partitas on an Italian Virginal. J. S. Bach owned copies of Frescobaldi’s keyboard works, written a century earlier, and admired them greatly. Frescobaldi was the hot-blooded organist of St Peter’s in Rome, whose keyboard style ranged from quixotic to hypnotic. An Italian virginal is the ideal instrument to display his wonderfully inventive music. Audience is limited according to alert levels.

Uriele - original compositions for solo piano
2021-11-10 12:15 - 13:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | St Andrews Church, 30 The Terrace, Wellington, 6011, Wellington, The Terrace, 6011, New Zealand
Uriele is a classical pianist, a composer and a clown. She is also a fully trained psychologist holding a Masters Degree from a German University. Born in Munich and brought up in beautiful Bavaria, she fell in love with New Zealand and since 1996 made it her home.
The music Uriele writes is deeply emotive, sometimes sad and melancholic, sometimes quirky and joyful, sometimes playful like a clown. Through mindfulness and presence which she has been practising for many years of Sacred Clowning she found a way to process her feelings intuitively. She has recorded three albums with her own piano music: Soul Moons (2012), Inner Orbit (2014) and In Between (2017)
The music falls into the genre of minimalism, driven by simple chords and repetitive patterns, and at the same time offering great variety of style. Having been trained as a classical pianist for 12 years, the influence of classicism can be noticed in the structure and the rich melodic content of some pieces that seem to tell stories. There are jaunty dance pieces bringing waltz, ragtime, shades of folk music and Jewish syncopated dance rhythms into play. Rhythm has become a strong aspect in her most recent compositions through her connection to traditional marimba music. Audience limited by alert level.

Many past members have gone on to join Wellington Sinfonietta, Wellington Youth Orchestra, the National Secondary Schools Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra. Some of the original members are now studying performance at university.

2022-02-23 12:15 - 13:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | St Andrew’s Centre, 30 The Terrace, Wellington, 6011, Wellington, The Terrace, 6011, New Zealand
Join us at St. Andrew’s on the Terrace for “Sensitivity versus Gallantry: the struggle between simplicity and complexity.” This programme expresses the ongoing challenge of balancing both simple and complex kinds of musical expression. In this concert, two seemingly “simple” pieces are paired with two more eccentric works composed within a similar period, to highlight the contrast between these two kinds of expression. This will be followed by a finale with John Psathas’s thrilling “Jettatura.”
Liam Furey was taught piano at the age of nine, discovering classical music at eleven, and was inspired to work in classical music. Liam started lessons with pianist/composer Gillian Bibby, won the Senior Composition Prize for Chamber Music NZ’s 2016 Secondary School Contest, and received the LTCL (Distinction) and LMusNZ Piano diplomas in 2017. Now in his Honours year for Classical Piano and Composition at the New Zealand School of Music, Liam has learnt piano under Jian Liu, composition under Michael Norris. Liam has been a frequent finalist and winner in various competitions at the NZSM, composed orchestra works for the NZSM Orchestra and NZSO, and is a co-founder of the Sounds of Te Kōkī concert series, which solely premiers new works by NZSM composition students. Liam aspires to learn and create eclectic programmes that highlight newer ideas of musical expression for his audiences.
