Sunday 20 June - New Zealand String Quartet

New Zealand String Quartet

At the forefront of the New Zealand music scene for many years, the New Zealand String Quartet is treasured and respected by audiences throughout the country for their unfailing passion and commitment to their art.

In his String Quartet in D K575, one of a series of quartets written for the King of Prussia, Mozart shows great joy and optimism, qualities sadly lacking in his life at the time – an object lesson in how the human spirit can rise above life’s trials.

SPIRAL III for String Quartet is by Cambodian composer Chinary Ung whose works are inspired by the spiritual impulses of his native land, set in the context of Western art tradition.

In celebration of Robert Schumann’s 200th birthday, the New Zealand String Quartet performs his popular piano quintet Op.44, for which they will be joined by Richard Mapp.
