NEW ZEALAND STRING QUARTET

TE RŌPŪ TŪRŪ O AOTEAROA

We are the New Zealand String Quartet - Te Rōpū Tūrū o Aotearoa, the country's longest-serving professional chamber music ensemble. We were established in 1987 to give New Zealanders access to world-class chamber music at home. Nearly four decades later, we’re still going strong. Through memorable concerts, dynamic cross-genre collaborations, musical workshops and mentoring, we’re committed to making chamber music exciting and accessible to all New Zealanders.
