Beethoven 2

Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven are icons of classical music and their juxtaposition in the same concert is an enlightening experience. These works speak with the same clarity and relevance today as they did at their premiere performance. Their perfection of form is timeless and universal.

We welcome Michael Houstoun as soloist in the second piano concerto by Beethoven. He is one of New Zealand’s leading pianists and his performances of the piano music of Beethoven are legendary.
