Top Young Chamber Musicians to
Perform in China
Top young New Zealand chamber
music ensemble Geist is heading to China in September to
perform with well-known New Zealand pianist John Chen.
The Auckland string quartet of Westlake Girls High School
students Lauren Bennett (violin), Britta Balzat (violin),
Sophia Lee (viola) and Sally Kim (cello) were invited on the
tour following their winning performance at the New Zealand
Community Trust Chamber Music Contest earlier this month. It
was the second year running Geist had taken top honours in
the contest – a first in the contest’s 47-year
history.
“Geist was simply superb at the contest
performing the first two movements from Debussy’s string
quartet in G minor,” says Chamber Music New Zealand chief
executive Euan Murdoch.
