The APO’s (Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra) Trio con Brio inspired the children with their beautiful woodwind performance.
We have seen a brass quintet and a string ensemble, but woodwind ensembles are very rare, so it was a special treat for the children.
Year 4 – 6 heard some music that was familiar to them, like pieces from the Nutcracker ballet and Rhapsody in Blue. The children asked some thoughtful questions at the end. The musicians were impressed by the children’s depth of musical knowledge, ability to focus for an extended period, and the asking of pertinent questions.
