Homage to the greats

From Upbeat, 1:00 pm on 14 March 2017

The Christchurch Symphony Orchestra is acknowledging the greats for this Saturday’s concert Homage. Great works reimagined will be performed including Anton Webern's interpretation of Bach's Ricercare in 6 Parts and Arnold Schoenberg's reimagining of Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 1 for full orchestra. University of Canterbury’s Head of Performance violinist Mark Menzies will also perform in the Australasian premiere of Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina's Offertorium which draws on inspiration from both Bach and Schoenberg.
