Our morning will start with a programme of music from the Pencello Quintet from the UoA led by James Yoo. James was born in 1988 in South Korea and he began playing the cello at the age of 7. He studied at the Sydney Conservatorium, the Musikhochschule in Cologne, and The University of Waikato. Former teachers include Maria Kliegel, James Tennant, Susan Blake and Thomas Tsai.
James regularly performs throughout New Zealand, Australia and Asia. Since the age of 16, he has been frequently invited to perform on Fine Music 102.5FM and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. He has also performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras and ensembles, including SBS Television and Radio Youth orchestra, Kuring-Gai Philharmonic Orchestra, North Sydney Youth Symphony, Camerata Ensemble and The University of Waikato Orchestra.
James was a member of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra for 4 years from 2015. He currently teaches cello and chamber music at the University of Auckland.
As an educator, James is well known in the Auckland musical community, both as a cello and chamber music teacher. He is particularly interested in analysing and giving lecture recitals on technical aspects of cello playing, including Etudes and Caprices by David Popper and Carlo Alfredo Piatti.
This will be followed by an interview Tony Waring, Chauffeur to the Stars and APO Marketing Manager for 5 years in the 1990s. Originally from Coventry, Tony was educated at Caludon Castle School, Napier Boys High School and Massey University. After a lifetime of management experience Tony is now a freelance chauffeur driving businesspeople, tourists, and APO Artists in his BMW 730L. Driving for the APO is a great combination of Tony’s APO and Hotel business experience. This will be a great interview followed by a light lunch.
