It is said that chamber music is the ‘music of friends’. If so, the Amici Ensemble and Flight are aptly named. Led by NZSO Associate Concertmaster Donald Armstrong, they perform works of all periods for differing combinations of instruments, from the very small to the very large.
In this concert for the Wellington Chamber Music Society, Amici perform Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp by Debussy, Quintet for Clarinet and Strings by Francaix, Three Pieces for String Quartet by Stravinsky and Ravel's Introduction and Allegro.
Phil Green will also perform "Four Laments for Solo Clarinet":http://sounz.org.nz/works/show/20116 by Ross Harris, the work that the Wellington Chamber Music Society commissioned as part of the SOUNZtender project. The work will have just received its world premiere hours earlier at the "SOUNZtender concert":http://sounz.org.nz/events/show/1585 – and this performance will be a bonus for those who have attended both!
