TIME and SPIRIT
"Time and Spirit" is the title of the new concert series presented by Auckland's innovative and professional Jade
String Quartet. The concert incorporates words and music and will include short readings chosen by North Shore artist
Loveday Kingsford. These readings will be from poetry or prose taken from the era in which the music was composed. The
full programme includes John Dowland's Lachrymaes, Claude Debussy's String Quartet, Beethoven's String Quartet in A
minor opus 132, and Hudson River Pieces which are the work of the New Zealand composer Jonathan Besser. Words and music
have been chosen to inspire contemplative response.
The Jade String Quartet is composed of musicians Miranda Adams and William Hanfling on violins, Robert Ashworth on
viola, and Claudia Price on cello. The ensemble members, all players in the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, began
performing together in 2003 during the Auckland Philharmonia chamber music series, Ensemble Philharmonia. The quartet
delivers exciting live performances from a wide range of musical styles and often include performances with artists of
other genres.
