The Kiwa Quartet was formed in 2015 by Malavika Gopal as part of a project supported by a Professional Development Grant awarded to her by the NZSO. The Quartet’s aim is to present the core masterpieces of the repertoire side by side with contemporary and ethnic music. Their programme includes quartets from Beethoven and Tchaikovsky alongside the music of New Zealand’s Gareth Farr and a brief taste of the American minimalist composer John Adams.
