"I LOVE Mulled Wine Concerts as they are so intimate.
See you soon
With gratitude, Helen"
IOTA ENSEMBLE with PIANIST KATHRYN MOSLEY
Kapiti concertgoers are in for a real treat when one of the Southern Hemisphere's top
classical music ensembles visits the Paekakariki Memorial Hall on Sunday March 5. The
IOTA Quintet results from the vision of pianist Kathryn Mosley and her sister, NZSO cellist
Eleanor Carter.
New Zealand born sisters Eleanor and Kathryn have performed together from an early
age. They are the only siblings ever to have won concurrent ABRSM scholarships which
resulted in Eleanor studying at the Royal College of Music, London, while Kathryn
attended the Royal Academy. They have performed on numerous occasions both
throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, and New Zealand. In the Iota Quintet, Kathryn
(piano) and Eleanor (cello) are joined by Elizabeth Patchett (violin), Lyndsay Mountfort
(viola) and Damien Eckersley (double bass), all of whom are current members of the
NZSO.
The quintet will play in the delightful Memorial Hall on the Paekakariki sea front. They will
present music by Schubert (the 'Trout' Quintet in A Major) Vaughan Williams (the Quintet
in C minor) and the American Rounds piece by Martin Butler.
Mulled Wine Concerts have been presenting concerts on the Kapiti Coast for over fifteen
years and organiser Mary Gow is pleased that the Iota Quintet have agreed to perform.
“Kapiti has had a couple of years when it has been very difficult to hear really good live
music” she says. “The Covid era reduced the audiences for live music considerably, but
now things are getting back to normal, we can again present the best New Zealand
classical musicians”. Gow notes that it is a prime objective of her organisation to keep
ticket prices affordable and to encourage first time concertgoers and young aspiring
musicians to come out and hear the very best that the country has to offer in classical
music. “We try to keep the concerts fun”, she says “The artists are always willing to talk
about what they do and to interact with members of the audience”.
