Welcome to Mount Albert Methodist Church

The presence of Katherine Aaustin’s Steinway grand piano in the church has enabled us to start up a regular concert series for talented young performers. We call the group the Auckland Piano Club, although performers can include instrumentalists, not only piano works! 

Concerts take place on the 3rd Sunday of every month at 2.30pm, and there is usually a concert or masterclass the following Friday of the same week at 7pm. 

A wonderful range of beautiful and inspiring music is presented in each concert – including many works of Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky,  Liszt  – some of the greatest, most exciting and uplifting music ever written. Items also sometimes include chamber music groups: this Sunday 19 May we will be treated to Schubert’s ‘Shepherd on The Rock’ (with singer, clarinet and piano) Rachmaninov’s gorgeous Trio Elegiac no 1 , and movements from Dvorak’s deeply touching Dumky Trio. 

The performers are advanced university students, brilliant young performers from the community, and some graduated and professional musicians whose etudes like to share their gifts in these shared concerts. The level of precision, musicality and precision from all these performers is to be witnessed to be believed. It is always an afternoon of uplift, delight, thrill and inspiration. 

Do come and experience it, be transported, – and please tell your friends about it!

Entry is by donation; all proceeds go to raise money for the church. (We suggest minimum $10 up to $20 for audience members, according to what one is able to give)
