Sonatas & Tangos at Twilight, Waiheke - New Zealand

Dr Joe Harrop and Eddie GiffneyOn July 21st professional violinist Dr Joe Harrop  (PhD, Royal Academy of Music) performed with 19 year old Eddie Giffney, who is acknowledged to be one of New Zealand’s foremost young pianists as well as a several times past NZ and South Pacific Accordion Champion and 3rd placegetter at the 2009 Coupe Mondiale Junior Virtuoso Entertainment category.

They performed for the Waiheke Musical Museum Charitable Trust, in the unique historical Music Museum, a ferry ride away from the city of Auckland. The programme opened with Mozart’s ‘Sonata for Piano and Violin KV380 in E flat’ followed by Ravel’s ‘Sonata for Violin and Piano in G’.

Further demonstrating his musical versatility, Eddie Giffney then swapped to play accordion for the Tango section of the program, presenting three contrasting pieces by Galliano and Piazzolla, arranged by Giffney and Harrop.

This was a concert to remember and much appreciated by the full house audience.
