Fridays at 5: Masterpieces of the Baroque
The very popular free concerts from NZSM students and staff conclude for 2010 with an all-Baroque showcase.
The programme includes Vivaldi’s Guitar Concerto in D Major (Matthew Marshall), Telemann’s Double Viola Concerto (with doctoral students Irina Andreeva and Andrew Filmer), and concertos from the incomparable J S Bach for Keyboard in E Major (Emma Sayers) and Violin in D Minor (Martin Risley), as well as Erbarme Dich from his St Matthew Passion (Margaret Medlyn).
These soloists will be accompanied by the NZSM Chamber Orchestra conducted by Donald Maurice. This is a wonderful opportunity to sit back, relax and let the worries of the week dissipate.
Ilott Theatre, Wellington Town Hall: 5:15pm

New Zealand School of MusicThe New Zealand School of Music, launched in 2006, offers an outstanding range of possibilities for the study of music – for students just beginning their exploration of music as a field of study, for students at various levels of advanced study, and for professionals who are seeking opportunities to strengthen and expand their qualifications. NZSM represents the best of both worlds, supporting long traditions of musical expression in classical, jazz and music studies as well as possibilities for new avenues of enquiry in composition, sonic arts and music therapy.
NZSM is a joint enterprise of Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington combined their prestigious Conservatorium of Music and School of Music into a single new school, bringing together more than 60 years’ experience in the fields of performance, composition, historical research and ethnomusicology.
In addition, the New Zealand School of Music’s ongoing connections with these two distinguished universities offer students opportunities for study unique in New Zealand. Our principal campuses are situated in the heart of Wellington, allowing students to participate in the vibrant life of the cultural capital of New Zealand. Students who prefer to live in Auckland have the opportunity to study jazz at our Albany campus; for students who are interested in more flexible options, we offer a range of papers extramurally.
Our distinguished staff are professionally active both in New Zealand and internationally, providing students with the opportunity for training to an international standard of excellence.
