...Did I find any cause for complaint? Yes, actually, I did – they didn’t encore the Brahms. But isn’t that the sign of an exceptional recital, that you send your audience away wishing they could have heard it all again?...

Members of the Aroha Quartet are donating their services to perform a concert in Auckland on 10 June to raise funds for Autism NZ.

The programme for the concert, to be held at All Saints Church in Howick at 3pm, contains three wonderful works: Haydn's "Sunrise" Quartet, a dramatic arrangement of a traditional Chinese work "The White Haired Girl", and Debussy's sublime Quartet.

Aroha's first violinist Haihong Liu says "There's a real need in the community for the services Autism NZ provides. We hope that people will come along to this concert to hear some great music and support a great cause."

Entry to the concert is by a donation to Autism NZ of $25 ($50 families).
