The Waikanae Music Society will close its 2024 concert season on Sunday 13 October with a concert by the Wellington-based Ghost Trio.
This accomplished ensemble comprises violinist Monique Lapins (formerly second violinist of the New
Zealand String Quartet), cellist Ken Ichinose (NZSO Associate Principal Cellist) and sought-after pianist, accompanist and chamber musician Gabriela Glapska.
The Ghost Trio was founded in 2019. They have toured nationwide for Chamber Music New Zealand to high critical acclaim, praised for their “elan and unfailing attention to musical detail”.
The Trio takes their name from Beethoven’s famous trio known as “The Ghost”.
They will not play that particular trio at their Waikanae concert, but their programme features two of the greatest and most popular piano trios (by Schumann and Ravel), plus intriguing shorter works by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho and New Zealander Leonie Holmes.
The concert will be in the Waikanae Memorial Hall starting at 2.30pm. Door sales will be available or tickets can be purchased from Waikanae New World and Moby Dickens Books in Paraparaumu Beach.
