Heartfelt, soulful, and full of life, the New Zealand String Quartet is soon to embark on one of its largest and broadest national tours, with 17 concerts in centres spanning the country.
Many of the concerts will mark the first time the quartet has performed in communities such as Balcairn, Roxburgh and Paeroa.
They will bring an eclectic and vibrant mix of music that promises to excite and entertain, from familiar classical favourites, to spicy contemporary works and a few hidden gems.Having celebrated its 35th season in 2022, the New Zealand String Quartet [NZSQ] has an established international reputation and the tour will coincide with New Zealand Music Month.
The NZSQ said it was “delighted” to perform Kiwi works at each concert, as part of its work to champion local composers.
The tour programme has also been designed using the NZSQ’s signature style of lively and engaging introductions to each piece of music spoken by the quartet members themselves.
