About the event
Join us for an exciting opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Aotearoa's finest classical musicians. The New Zealand String Quartet - Te Rōpū Tūrū O Aotearoa - is visiting Tūranga Library at 11am on Thursday 15 May with NZSQ Encounters: a free, whānau-friendly performance of music you may never have heard before. Learn about centuries-old instruments, and discover music from the past and present, including music by young New Zealand composers. This is a relaxed concert of 60mins for all the whānau to enjoy. See you there!
No Need to be an Expert
The concert programme, crafted in the NZSQ’s signature style, aims to engage audiences of all levels of familiarity with chamber music. Each piece of music is preceded by a lively and informative introduction delivered by the Quartet members themselves. These introductions seek to shed light on the stories behind the music, making it an enriching experience suitable for all audiences.
For all of our South Island concerts in May, Gill and Peter will be joined by two talented guest musicians:
Arna Morton - Guest Violin
Callum Hall - Guest Cello
