Surrounded by the exhibition, Sponge City, the New Zealand String Quartet (NZSQ) will perform a programme of fresh and familiar classical works. As part of their 2024 season, Soundscapes, the NZSQ is taking chamber music outside of the traditional concert hall to explore the way music connects us with our surroundings. From eco-sanctuaries to art galleries, to community centres, imaginative programmes collide headfirst with unique spaces creating epic, multi-sensory experiences.
The New Zealand String Quartet recently welcomed a wonderful new musician to the ensemble, violinist Peter Clark. This concert is one of his first performing with the Quartet as second violinist. Come along to give Peter a big NZSQ welcome!
Tickets $50 each and will include admittance to the concert.
Whether you're a classical music fan, an art enthusiast, or simply looking for a memorable night out, this concert is not to be missed.

These introductions seek to shed light on the stories behind the music, making it an enriching experience suitable for all audiences.
