A Musical Journey to Antarctica with Inspiring Explorer Ihlara McIndoe

Antarctic Heritage Trust invites you to join us online for A Musical Journey to Antarctica, featuring five compositions by Inspiring Explorer Ihlara McIndoe accompanied by stunning visuals of Antarctica captured by renowned Antarctic filmmaker and photographer Anthony Powell.

Ihlara was the NZSO National Youth Orchestra Composer-in-residence for 2021. Her beautiful compositions for flute, violin and viola, and full orchestra, were inspired by her participation in Antarctic Heritage Trust's 2020 Inspiring Explorers Expedition™ to Antarctica.

Performers at the concert include Mark Menzies, Professor of Music and Head of Performance at the University of Canterbury on viola and violin, UC performance students Rakuto Kurano on violin, and Marlene Cooper on flute, and Chris Everest from the New Zealand School of Music on guitar.
