Waikanae Music Society: Michael Houstoun

12 February 2012 2:30 PM

This is a concert of fascinating contrasts in which the premiere of a new work by Jenny McLeod serves as an introduction to a rare performance of JS Bach’s magnificent Goldberg Variations, played by New Zealand’s most acclaimed pianist.

Jenny McLeod’s Six Tone Clock Pieces have been commissioned by Michael Houstoun with funding from Creative New Zealand (thus completing the full set of 24 Tone Clock Pieces). The Bach needs little introduction – it is regarded as a masterpiece and is probably the most important keyboard work of the Baroque era.
