Formed in 2020 while pursuing postgraduate studies at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, UK, the Calathea Quartet are fast-gaining reputation of the international scene. They recently won first place in the Historical Women Composers Prize at the Royal Academy of Music performing Ina Boyle’s String Quartet in E minor.

This concert opens with the shining clarity of Mozart, leading us to the evocative and lyrical writing of Dame Gillian Whitehead, recently honoured with the prestigious Ngā Taonga Toi a Te Waka Toi award. Imogen Holst’s Phantasy Quartet follows with an almost jazzy flavour, a tonality that balances the driving rawness of Shostakovich’s gripping fifth quartet.


Additional performances: Rangiora (20 September) / Lower Hutt (22 September) / Wellington (24 September) / Rotorua (28 September) / Warkworth (30 September) / Kerikeri (1 October)
