Soundscapes – NZ String Quartet Tour

The New Zealand String Quartet bring a programme of fresh and familiar classical works to the Jam Factory. 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 cozy and eclectic music venues, imaginative programmes collide headfirst with unique spaces creating epic, multi-sensory experiences.

*Concert Programme*
Haydn - String Quartet No. 3, Op. 71 in E flat major
Janáček - String Quartet No. 1 The Kreutzer Sonata

No Need to be an Expert:
The concert programme, crafted in the NZSQ’s signature style, aims to engage audiences of all levels of familiarity with chamber music. Each piece of music is preceded by a lively and informative introduction delivered by the Quartet members themselves. These introductions seek to shed light on the stories behind the music, making it an enriching experience suitable for all audiences.
