The Amici Ensemble, who are mostly well-known principals with the NZSO, play in varying combinations. This year Amici performs as a sextet with Donald Armstrong and Malavika Gopal (violin), Julia Joyce and Andrew Thomson (viola), and Andrew Joyce and Ken Ichinose (cello).
As usual there is a varied and innovative programme with music introduced and presented in a lively and personable manner. A new commission by Anthony Ritchie is followed by Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence and the rarely heard Brahms Sextet.
