CHAMBER MUSIC NEW ZEALAND
An unusual year for CMNZ which, for much of its season, moves away from what we traditionally think of as classical music. That’s no bad thing, andbilled as “a celebration of Indian music and dance” (June/July) looks particularly interesting. My pick, though, is the Darroch/DeHart Duo (August/ September), which brings together CSO principal flute Hannah Darroch and ace percussionist Justin DeHart in works by Takemitsu, Harrison and Gareth Farr, among others.
