Piano and Harp in Early Auckland Music-Making
This year's Leys Orchestra Heritage Festival concert illustrates aspects of the roles that the piano and harp played in early Auckland's musical and social fabric.
The piano was an indispensable part of early Auckland's lifestyle, and was played in every conceivable venue and in most homes. The harp also featured highly in musical social events, and had become an essential member of the instrumental forces of orchestras of the time.
Young harpist Bella Tan features in every item in this unique programme. Four favourite tuneful pieces by Elgar contrast with nostalgic piano music, from novice level to professional performance.
Admission is free.
