The Zelanian Ensemble will play to students at Cheviot Area School on May 22 as part of a tour of 20 South Island schools. The chamber music quartet’s tour is the second in a series of school tours organised by the Music Federation of New Zealand with the assistance of the Performers in Schools Fund and the Department of Education.
The tour follows a successful tour of the United States and Canada. The quartet’s programme features a variety of the most popular instruments played by school students. These include the soprano and alto saxophones, flute, violin, viola and piano. The music played enables students to see that chamber music is far
from boring and can be dynamic, fun to listen to and to play. The idea of the programme is to produce audiences of the future and to stimulate those that play already to further heights. The quartet encourages audience participation, explains composers’ techniques and styles, and demonstrates all the instruments.
