10:00 Letters in Wartime Part 2

In May 2015, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra marked the 100th anniversary of a one-day ceasefire during the Gallipoli campaign with a special concert held in the Events Centre of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

New works by emerging composers were written in response to letters, taken from the Museum’s collection. The letters were penned by soldiers serving in the First World War to their loved ones back in New Zealand.We’ll hear the second two of these works tonight.

Last year Christchurch experimental violinist and singer Anita Clark toured Australia under her musical moniker, Motte. One afternoon, dead in the centre of the tour, she had some studio time with Timothy Chivers at the Hobart Conservatorium in Tasmania. The result of this session was her four Hobart improvisations.
