A trio named after the discoverer of the Mexican Poinsettia plant will present works by Beethoven, Chopin, Handel and Halvorsen and Brahms at Baycourt on Saturday, May 22.
Tauranga Musica and TrustPower present Poinsett Piano Trio: David Gross from Germany on piano, Diedre Hutton from America on violin and New Zealander Christopher Hutton on cello.

All three musicians are based in Greenville, South Carolina, USA where they teach at Furman University, but they have performed together for several years and in various chamber music configurations.
They founded the Poinsett Piano Trio in 2008. It is named in honour of Joel Roberts Poinsett, a statesman, physician and botanist from South Carolina. Poinsett is most remembered today as the discoverer of the Mexican Poinsettia plant whose bright red flowers are popular in many gardens.
The concert starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost $30 for adults and $10 for those under 19 and are available from Baycourt TicketDirect.
