ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP PIANISTS TO PERFORM IN WANAKA
Jan Liu’s programme surveys the different ways composers of New Zealand and Chinese heritage paint their worlds in sound. The journey begins with landscapes featuring Douglas Lilburn’s From the Port Hills and Huang Hu Wei’s evocative Pictures from Bashu, while Tan Dun’s Eight Memories in Watercolour and Salina Fisher’s Three Short Pieces capture nature’s fleeting beauty in shimmering sound. Gareth Farr’s Love Songs and Zhang Zhao’s Three Songs from the Mountains of Southern Yunnan give voice to love and longing.
