Tunes From My Home

Homeland 2 begins with Chen Yi's "Tunes from My Home", transporting audiences to her upbringing in China with musical stories filled with bustling energies and happy memories. Then we hear George Enescu’s luscious A minor trio, one of the very few works he composed during WWII. Enescu was known for his fascination with the countryside and folk music of his homeland of Romania.

Victoria Kelly’s gently rhythmic and mystical sound world brings concertgoers back home to Aotearoa with a new composition “Lyre”, before the final stop in Prague, where a 42-year old Antonín Dvořák takes us into the depths of Czech folk music traditions through the dark and brooding romanticism of his F minor piano trio.
