Chamber Music Subscription Series opens in heritage style 7 Mar, 2021 08:51 PM 3 minutes to read Wanganui Midweek The first of the subscription concerts for Chamber Music Wanganui's 2021 series will take place on Wednesday, March 17 at 7.30pm in the Prince Edward Auditorium of Whanganui Collegiate School. This is a concert with a difference, drawing on a "heritage" theme and presented in an informal manner with something for all musical tastes. Hammers & Horsehair duo Douglas Mews (piano) and Robert Ibell (cello) toured extensively around Aotearoa in 2016, 2018 and 2020. Their concert in Whanganui is the first of a six-stop tour of the North Island in which they are joined by well-known Wellington soprano Rowena Simpson to reimagine the triumphant 1922 New Zealand tour of Blenheim-born Rosina Buckman (soprano) with Adelina Leon (cello) and Percy Kahn (pianist-composer).
