Joaquín Turina Circulo
Shostakovich Piano Trio No.1 in C minor
Chen Yi Tibetan Tunes
John Psathas (NZ) Angelus (new NZTrio commission)
César Franck Piano Trio No.1 in F sharp minor

NZTrio He Taonga Wairere returns to the Concert Chamber with the second concert in their 2025 TRIOMPHE season.  A lavish tapestry of styles and emotions is explored in FANTASTIQUE, a programme of contrasts. Turina's Circulo depicts a single day through dawn, midday and dusk, while brooding disquiet meets stark intensity in Shostakovich's Piano Trio No.1 in C minor.  Chen Yi's Tibetan Tunes creates a fusion of traditional Tibetan melodies referencing Buddhist god Du Mu, before the premiere of Angelus, a new commission by one of Aotearoa’s most acclaimed composers, John Psathas. Finally, Franck's youthful Piano Trio No. 1 in F sharp minor is as charming and intimate as it is powerful and explosive.
