Family ties

Callum Hall joins sister Amalia for an eight-date NZTrio tour.

Is this another example of New Zealand's two degrees of separation? The day before we speak, cellist Callum Hall played Beethoven with the Auckland Philharmonia. Hall's section leader for that concert was Ashley Brown. The last time Brown featured in the Listener was to mark his departure from NZTrio. This interview with Hall is about his forthcoming tour with NZTrio. It's like musical chairs, except that when the playing stops every seat is filled by a cellist.
