For this exciting tour as a sextet, Morton Trio members Arna Morton (violin), Alex Morton (French horn), and Liam Wooding (piano) are joined by esteemed colleagues from the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra: David McGregor (clarinet), Sharon Baylis (viola), and Jeremy Garside (cello). Together they deliver original, intense chamber music with orchestral scope, with the promise of wowing concertgoers from start to finish.The remarkable programme features the two great sextets written for clarinet, horn, piano, and strings. Riveting from the first bars, they open with Dohnányi’s rich and exhilarating Sextet, followed by what is considered Penderecki’s finest chamber achievement—two majestic works that allow all six performers to shine with virtuosic brilliance and musicality.
