Te Hau Trio

In this second concert of the Friends of Pātaka 2006 Winter Music Series, we have Te Hau Trio, a celebrated chamber ensemble formed by principal woodwind players from Orchestra Wellington: Karen Batten on flute, Nick Walshe on clarinet and Preman Tilson on bassoon. The trio brings a uniquely flexible and dynamic approach to classical chamber music. The combination of flute, clarinet, and bassoon creates an agile yet surprisingly rich sonic texture and is so unusual the trio adapts music from across the centuries. For their performance at Pātaka on Sunday 26 July, the trio will present an eclectic mix, ranging from lighthearted classical suites to contemporary and folk-inspired works, all tailored to showcase the distinct timbres and virtuosity of each musician.

This concert is free for Friends f Pātaka and children; $10 at the door for others Eftpos will be available.
