Opening with Chicago composer Augusta Read Thomas’ Double Helix, this programme explores how two equal spirits intertwine, navigating a shared musical journey like a spiraling helix. International award-winning violin and viola soloist Yura Lee joins AWE Artistic Director Benjamin Baker for an intimate exploration of both instruments — together and apart — through works by Bach, Ysaÿe, Martinů, and Mozart, interwoven with music from Aotearoa by John Psathas and Salina Fisher. 

Doors open 5.15pm, concert begins at 6pm. Approx end time 7pm.

This event is presented in partnership with the AWE Festival.
