ABTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Not Always A Trio
The Trio Concertante is a trio that is not always a trio. Formed in San Francisco for a concert tour of Australia and New Zealand it consists of three soloists, two of them Hungarian-born Americans and one an Australian girl. The pianist is Istvan Nadas (left), who has toured extensively since before the Second World War.
The violinist is Charmain Gadd. who since her last New Zealand concerts reached the semi-finals of the International Tchaikovsky competition for violin in Moscow. The cellist is Laszlo Varga, professor of cello at the University of Toronto, who led a cello quartet in a Christchurch concert last month. Instead of the standard trio repertoire, they play trios and
duos that are less frequently heard. In Christchurch tomorrow evening they will give a concert for the Christchurch Chamber Music Society, playing Halvorsen’s arrangement of Handel's Passacaglia for violin and cello, Stravinsky's Duo Concertante for violin and piano, Richard Strauss’s Cello Sonata, and Dvorak’s Trio in F minor.
