Presented by Chamber Music NZ, the pair will present a programme featuring some of the greatest works for cellos and piano, from 7.30pm next Friday, August 19, at the Glenroy Auditorium.
De Pledge first met Barley while studying at the Guildhall School of Drama and Music in London, and the pair instantly felt a mutual connection through music.
This will be their first tour together since the reopening of borders and they have curated a concert programme from two masters of the cello and piano canon — Beethoven & Brahms — focusing on their sonatas.
These paramount works are supplemented by other classics including Schumann, Boulanger, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, and Nadia Boulanger’s Three Pieces for Cello and Piano.
