New Zealand String Quartet’s 2023 National Tour, ‘Woven Pathways’, promises to be an unforgettable musical adventure. This extraordinary journey unfolds through four carefully crafted programmes, each offering a unique exploration of the human experience. Audiences in Nelson will be treated to three works of celebration, exploring the composer’s lives, loves and humanity.
Programme Three: Celebration | A joyous tribute to life and artistic expression.
Prokofiev String Quartet No. 1
Ross Harris String Quartet No. 9
Smetana String Quartet No. 1 ‘From My Life’
With the Quartet as steady guides, let the music lead you on a life-affirming journey through the peaks and troughs of the human condition. ‘Woven Pathways’ contains something for all levels of chamber music enthusiasts - whether you’re a seasoned explorer or just beginning your chamber music journey. We invite all intrepid adventurers to pack your bags and hit the road with us on this musical odyssey.
** This programme is approximately 70 minutes long with no intervals **
2023 marks the 22nd season of the New Zealand String Quartet's annual National Tour, our flagship series which sees us traverse the breadth and depth of Aotearoa. Each year we perform a series of carefully curated programmes meditating on a central theme. These programmes are composed of a heady mix of classical favourites and edgy contemporary works, and all include pieces by New Zealand composers. Our National Tour is proudly supported by our Principal Sponsor, The Turnovsky Endowment Trust, and Creative New Zealand.
