This AWE+ Free Performance showcases the unique musical language of two composers on opposite sides of the Atlantic, Janáček and Harbison, giving a closer look at the French Horn and a taste of what’s to come later in the festival. Saturday 7 October, 6pm | WHAKAARI | Free
Janáček’s Pohádka (Fairy Tale) was inspired by an epic Zhukovsky poem which piqued Janáček’s interest in Russian Culture. Harbison’s Twilight Music on the other hand is an exploration of how little the horn and violin have in common and yet, with the support of the piano, come together in this work to present a purposeful and powerful musical discussion. Presented between the two performances of Sono.
