Violinists Benjamin Baker and Justine Cormack are launching their inaugural At the World’s Edge Festival (AWE) with three masterfully curated programmes performed in three breath-taking locations - Wanaka’s Rippon Winery, Cromwell’s Cloudy Bay Winery and Queenstown’s Memorial Centre.
Eight AWE Festival Artists from the UK, Australia and NZ will perform the music of five composers - Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Clara Wieck, Reena Esmail and NZ Composer-in-Residence Salina Fisher, whose works powerfully intertwine across three evenings of music.
In addition, two young string quartets from Auckland and Wellington have been invited into the inaugural AWE Festival Emerging Artist programme that will see them performing to more than 2000 school students alongside AWE Festival Artists.
