Undertake a musical OE, travelling around the globe in a programme of music exploring different musical cultures, styles and periods in an upcoming concert.

Cello Journey, presented by Rotorua Music Federation, is being held in Rotorua on June 1.

Cellist Inbal Megiddo and pianist Rachel Thomson will offer a programme demonstrating the breadth of expression and depth of emotion found in the cello-piano repertoire.

Join the duo as they enjoy the Spanish nightlife with de Falla, glimpse Japanese culture with Salina Fisher, and bask in the Russian countryside with Shostakovich before ending up in the German concert hall with Brahms.

Cellist Inbal Megiddo has performed as a soloist with many of the great orchestras and in major concert halls around the world, including recitals the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, the Staatsoper in Berlin, and concerto performances with the Berlin Symphony at the Philharmonie.
