Globe Sunday matinee - a concert of Baroque and 20th century composers

The Tach Baroque Quartet.

The Globe Sunday Matinee concert series continues with a concert of Baroque and 20th century composers.

The Tach Baroque Quartet will feature music by 18th century Baroque composers Bach, Handel and Telemann.

To add variety to the programme they will include compositions by 20th century composers Jacques Ibert and Robert Hinchcliffe who also wrote for ensembles featuring the harpsichord.

The quartet's distinguished instrumentalists are mostly based in Whanganui, with the exception of its leader, Roy Tankersley, MNZM, who is well known in the city and in New Zealand for his work as a choral director, organist and harpsichord player.

After teaching at Trinity College and the Royal Academy of Music Junior department, Culliford returned to New Zealand in 1994.

Since then, she has continued to perform widely and has worked as a casual extra with the NZSO and is a recording artist for Radio NZ.

Shontae Arthur has been having both violin and piano lessons since she was 7.

She has completed her ATCL violin exam and passed her ATCL piano last year, aged 15, and is currently teaching violin and piano.
