Living Toys

Stroma, conducted by Hamish McKeich, celebrate 10 years of performances.

This celebratory concert features three New Zealand works and two international works showcasing the best of Stroma’s abilities.

Works range from the melodic lyricism of Peter Scholes’ Relic to the intriguing sonic subtleties of Jeroen Speak’s Silk Dialogue VI and Alexandra Hay’s An Island Doesn’t Either . Alongside these new works is Greek composer Iannis Xenakis’s raucous Thalleïn and British wunderkind Thomas Adès’s Living Toys.

Australian clarinet virtuoso Richard Haynes will feature as guest soloist in jeroen’s work, while NZSO sub principal trumpet Mark Carter tackles an infamous “speaking trumpet” solo in the Adès work.
