The travellers return

...The audience showed the visitors their deep-felt appreciation for an evening of exquisite music. The Aroha String Quartet made the evening unforgettable. (16 April 2013)...

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

Wednesday, November 14 2018, 7:30pm - 9:30pm, Knox Church, 449 George St, Dunedin

In 'Light & Dark' we take you on an emotional journey, exploring a wide range of moods and soundscapes Our programme begins with the warmth and brightness of Haydn’s “Emperor” Quartet Op 76 No 3, with its famous variations on an anthem he wrote for Kaiser Franz II. It then enters the pulsating world of Ross Carey’s evocative Toccatina (Elegy). The dark, sardonic mood of Shostakovich's String Quartet No 11 Op 122, a profound work in seven short movements, is swept away by our final work: Dvorak’s gorgeous, much-loved “American” Quartet Op 96. Come along to immerse yourselves in this wonderful music! Tickets $25 Adults, $15 Concessions, $50 Families, $5 Children under 18yrs from Eventfinda or at the door from 7pm.
