What is Chamber Music?

Chamber music is classical music originally intended to be performed in small places (small halls, even home living rooms), by small groups of musicians (usually one to four, though sometimes up to eight).

Chamber music ensembles traditionally include duos, the string quartet, piano trio, piano quartet, string trio and wind ensembles. Wellington Chamber Music concerts also include solo piano, singers and early music, with repertoire sourced from the Baroque period to recently commissioned works.

Season 2012

Wellington Chamber Music proudly presents Sunday Concerts 2012, featuring the finest of New Zealand’s musicians and some from further afield.

During 2012 we welcome some old friends and look forward to some wonderful new ensemble and solo performances too. The Amici Ensemble returns with guest pianist Diedre Irons, and Richard Mapp joins with Anna van der Zee and Paul Mitchell as the new Poneke Trio.

Fine musicians making their debut Sunday Concerts appearance are the virtuoso pianists Xiang ZOU and Jian LIU, talented young UK-based New Zealanders in the Akoka Quartet, Auckland artists Stephen de Pledge and Martin Rummel, and Wellington’s own Kugeltov Klezmer Quartet with guest clarinetist Philip Green.
