PRESS RELEASE
EDEN ARTS CHAMBER
MUSIC FESTIVAL
26 - 28 AUGUST 2016
The Eden Arts Trust is proud to announce the launch of a new musical venture – a Festival of Chamber Music – to take place in Mt Eden Village at the end of August.
There will be three concerts over three days featuring some of the country's best musicians playing some of the most glorious music ever written. The concerts will take place in the intimate setting of the Mt Eden Village Centre, in the historic church.
The hour long programmes of German Romantic music will take audiences on a journey – Eine Romantische Reise – through what was one of the most exciting periods in classical music. Works such as the Beethoven 'Ghost' Trio, Schubert String Quintet, and Schumann’s Piano Quartet & Quintets delve deep into the heart of the romantic spirit and provide a rare chance to hear these masterworks live over one weekend.
Simeon Broom, violinist, grew up in Mt Eden and has for a long time dreamed of starting a concert series in the village. He is joined by duo partner Rachel Church (piano), Andrew & Julia Joyce (principal cello & viola in the NZSO), Anna van der Zee (violinist) and the Aroha String Quartet. All are acclaimed musicians with a deep love for chamber music who perform regularly together in various ensembles and for Chamber Music NZ.
Says Simeon - "I have thought for many years, especially while living in Europe, that it would be great to find a concert venue in Mt Eden, where I grew up. When I saw the Mt Eden Village Centre church, I began thinking about programmes, performers and how it could work. Eden Arts have embraced and organised the Festival and I'm looking forward to an exciting weekend of music-making with a group of fantastic musicians”.
For almost 30 years the Eden Arts Community Arts Trust has supported the arts in the wider Mt Eden area. Previous initiatives include the annual Artists in Eden Day, Young Artists Awards, literary dinners and the Classic Pub Quiz with an Arts Twist.
