Recognizing New Zealanders time famine, they programmed ‘An Hour of Quality Time’ concerts at 6 pm during the Auckland Festival in March 2007. They’re ‘at it again” with concerts this week by the New Zealand Trio in Auckland. A 45 minute coffee concert at 10 am and Cushion Concerts for Children at 2 pm on April 20 on Sunday the NZ Trio will be playing Helix, a newly commissioned work by New Zealander John Psathas (who wrote the music for the Athens Olympics). Radio New Zealand will be recording a subsequent Wellington concert for future broadcast.
