Schoenberg | String Quartet No. 2
Berg | Lyric Suite
Ross Harris | The Abiding Tides
As part of the 2020 NZ Festival of the Arts programme, the New Zealand String Quartet is joined by soprano Jenny Wollerman to present Secrets of Sea and Space.
The programme includes Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2 which is handsomely paired with a quartet by one of his most celebrated students, Alban Berg, who furthered his mentor’s twelve-tone technique with Lyric Suite. The programme concludes with Ross Harris’s ode to the unforgiving oceans, The Abiding Tides. Commissioned for the NZ String Quartet, Harris's piece uses poems by Vincent O’Sullivan, whose premise, “the sea has no favourites”, concedes to an ocean as vast as it uncompromising. Adventurous spirits will be rewarded by this exquisite programme.
