The travellers return

...Chamber music performances don’t come much better than this....

A very tired, but thoroughly exhilarated Aroha String Quartet has recently returned from three weeks of study and performances in Austria and China.

Next concerts

Thursday, September 3 2020, 7:30pm - 9:30pm, The Piano, 156 Armagh St, Christchurch

In our Phantasy programme we are joined by Robert Orr, NZSO Principal Oboe, for two British works by for oboe and strings: Britten's Phantasy Quartet Op 2, the first piece that brought him international recognition, and Bliss's gorgeous Oboe Quintet. In that programme we also celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth with his first 'Rasumovsky' quartet, the String Quartet No 7 in F Op 59 No 1. The fourth work in this programme is 'refrain' by award-winning New Zealand composer Alex Taylor.
