A Walk in Hamilton Gardens is a suite of 11 piano pieces depicting Hamilton’s iconic themed public gardens. The suite begins with a beguiling stroll Across the Rhododendron Lawn, before Entering the Piazza and exploring delights such as the Indian Char Bagh Garden, the Concept Garden and the Surrealist Garden.
The suite was written for Katherine Austin, Head of Piano Studies at the University of Waikato, for performance and for recording by Atoll Records. Katherine presented the suite at the Australasian Piano Pedagogy Conference, July 2019. The work was performed in the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival 2020. |
