Chris , a great young guitarist, will be here on the 18th with an interesting program.Christopher is a prize-winning guitarist and a graduate of New Zealand School of Music (First-class honours), under the tutelage of Dr. Jane Curry and Owen Moriarty. Beginning his classical guitar studies in 2016, whilst majoring in Jazz Guitar at the New Zealand School of Music (NZSM), he switched to full-time classical guitar studies in 2018 and in 2019 was offered a position to study with Dr. Paul Cesarczyk at Mahidol College of Music, which was made possible thanks to the support of the Freemasons Lankuyzen/Whetu-Kairangi Trust and VicAbroad.
Since returning to NZ in 2020 Christopher has become one of the country’s most active classical guitarists performing throughout the country with ensembles such as the New Baroque Generation (Archlute and 19th Century Guitar), Kowhaiwhai Duo (Classical Guitar Duo), as well as performing locally with groups: What the Pluck? (Guitar Quartet), The Mountain Woods Duo (Flute/Guitar Eastern European music), The SMP Ensemble (contemporary music group) in festivals such as Classical on Cuba, Performance Arcade and Fringe Festival. In addition to this he has performed extensively as a soloist, premiering several new works including the 2019 and 2020 Matthew Marshall Composition Competition winning pieces for Classical Guitar, and most recently touring ‘Fantasy Variations’, which was kindly sponsored by the Waikanae Music Society.

In 2023 in preparation for auditions to Masters programmes overseas Christopher attended Camino de los Artes workshop in Carrión de los Condes, Spain, led by world-renowned pedagogue René Izquierdo, supported by the Dame Malvina Major Foundation and Freemasons Lankhuyzen/Whetu-Kairangi.

Andrew Blanch & Ariel Nurhadi present Alchemy: A World-Tour

Andrew Blanch and Ariel Nurhadi have been playing as a guitar duo since 2014. As a duo, they have been
described as “two stunning young guitarists…virtuosic” (Sydney Arts Guide) and have been praised for
their “dazzling guitar playing” (ArtsHub). Their performances have taken them around Eastern Australia,
and they also collaborate with Australia’s celebrated baritone Josè Carbò in a group called The Josè Carbò
Trio.
Their current duo project entitled ‘Alchemy’, is named after the very first piece they learnt together, by the
late great Australian guitarist and composer Phillip Houghton. Alchemy is something of a ‘world-tour’,
featuring some of the finest music written/arranged for guitar duet, with masterpieces from France, Spain,
Brazil, Argentina, USA, and Australia, including Phil’s acclaimed ‘Three Duets’ that encapsulates Alchemy.

본문 이미지 1

In September this year Duo Jackson will be giving concerts throughout the North Island. they will present an exciting,colourful and varied performance . The programme will include Classical works such as three Spanish Dances by Granados, Tangos by Argentine Composer Astor Piazzolla , Jazz, Gypsy, solo Flamenco Guitar and a new original composition, Titled .La Loba. Other tours this year have taken the Duo to Westland and to Singapore.
 
MARGARET began her violin studies at the age of seven in Dunedin. In 1972 she was accepted to study with Glynne Adams at Auckland University. Further study continued with the great Czech teacher Jan Sedivka at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music, resulting in invitations to tour in Australia. Margaret has a natural ability to convey the subtleties and virtuosity of the classics, to captivate the soul with Gypsy music and to improvise with natural creative flair in Jazz idioms. Four years of advanced and intensive study at Canterbury University under Polish Master Jan Tawroszewicz have resulted in an impressive technique and profound musical sensitivity.
 
MILES began his musical training on the violin, changing to classical guitar in 1965. He has studied with a number of distinguished teachers and several periods in Spain have allowed him to explore and develop Flamenco techniques. An intense period of study with world-renowned Czech guitarist Vladimir
 
Mikulka took place in the summer of 1982. This was followed with three years of study with the English master guitarist John Mills, which has provided Miles with a technical facility and musicianship of the highest standard. DUO JACKSON Are unique: Classical guitar and violin are an unusual combination of strings. The diverse range of music styles featured in the duo’s repertoire; Classical, Jazz, Latin, Flamenco, Gypsy, original compositions and the authenticity of their performance, creates a unique musical flavour and style. Margaret and Miles have performed in many countries and extensively throughout Australasia. They have made a number of programmes for radio and television and have made many recordings. Over forty Five years of performance and life together have formed a rapport, which is enchanting to experience. Margaret and Miles live in Nelson and both teach at the Nelson School of Music. Their own compositions which have a very original style, usually feature in their performances and have been extremely well received. They have given special performances for the New Zealand Embassies in Singapore and Spain and their last international tour was in 2015 with concerts in Singapore, France, Spain and Italy.   www.duojackson.com

Wellington Guitar Duo(The​ Te Rere​) in Concert……1012 East Coast Rd., 26th August

The Wellington Guitar Duo((The Te Rere)) was formed in 2016 by Emma Sandford and Joel Baldwin as part of the chamber music programme at the New Zealand School of Music. A like-minded focus and friendship has widened the scope of the duo to extend beyond the conservatory into a more professional sphere. They share a wide range of guitar duet literature of both historic and contemporary music and look to the future to expand the repertoire for the ensemble. Both members were taught by Auckland teacher, John Wakelin before being accepted into the classical guitar performance programme in 2014 under the tutelage of Dr. Jane Curry.
Emma is in the process of completing a major in composition in addition to her guitar studies. Inspired by her father, she began classical lessons at age 11 which soon became her passion. Emma’s interest in composition has led her to write for various ensembles and solo instruments, including the guitar. She is also interested in teaching and is a Suzuki method teacher in training. Emma received fourth place in the Biennial New Zealand Classical Guitar Competition in 2016.
Joel is a software engineer turned classical guitarist. Though his focus is on music of the 17th and 18th centuries, he is also at home interpreting works of the 20th century. He gave his solo debut as part of the Jack Richards concert series in Gisborne, 2016 and received third place in the Biennial New Zealand Classical Guitar Competition in 2016.

Bruce Paine in Concert 


본문 이미지 1
Bruce Paine
Bruce Paine is Auckland, born and raised, and one of New Zealand’s foremost classical guitarists.  He is an alumni of the University of Auckland School of Music, graduating with honours in 1995.  Bruce is an auditioned Concert Radio recording artist and was a semi-finalist in the 1995 Shell Darwin International Guitar Festival Competition.  Highlights of his career were 1998 performances in Prague and Opočno with world famous Czech guitar virtuoso Štěpán Rak.  This association strengthened a fascination for composing and in 2007 Bruce set about writing his first guitar compositions including ‘Finchdean’, a piece now popular with student and professional players alike.  In 2009, original works released on his CD Lateral Lines were described by Wellington based guitarist Gunter Herbig, as “a wonderful achievement and a milestone for New Zealand guitar composition.”  Bruce’s compositions have to date covered themes as diverse as New Zealand landscape, underwater sea life, songs of Gallipoli and kinetic art sculptures.  In addition to guitar solos – including several specially composed for a DVD about the historic homestead Alberton – Bruce has written for two guitars, voice and guitar, viola and guitar and guitar quartet.
