Adam Summer School Finale Concerts

** Tickets will be on sale soon!

Experience the rising stars of chamber music at the Adam Summer School Finale Concerts.

The annual Adam Summer School for Chamber Music is an opportunity for up to 30 talented young violin, viola, cello and piano players to commit themselves to eight days of intensive chamber music-making. Surrounded by their peers and in the idyllic setting of Nelson in summertime, students attend coaching sessions and masterclasses by the New Zealand String Quartet and, in 2025, renowned New Zealand pianist Rae De Lisle. This is an opportunity for young classical musicians to connect with each other and to learn from and be inspired by professional musicians.

These two finale concerts are a chance for students to showcase a week’s worth of intensive training within their new ensemble.

Over the past 31 years, more than 400 students have attended the Adam Summer School. Many of these alumni have gone on to illustrious careers in classical music all over the world. Don't miss out on your opportunity to experience the next generation of Aotearoa chamber musicians in action.
