New Zealand String Quartet

The New Zealand String Quartet presents their 2026 Season: Storytellers.

Behind every piece of music is a story and throughout our 2026 Season, we’ll dive into them. Across concerts, collaborations, workshops and communities we’ll explore how composers transform stories and experiences into sound. We’ll boldly showcase more compositional voices than ever before, beginning with early folk melodies, and classical masterworks that resonate through the centuries, through to modern-day Grammy-winners and the distinctive voices of Aotearoa. The three string quartets of Benjamin Britten form the heart of our 2026 Season, to mark the 50th anniversary of the composer’s death.

Storytellers reflects a rich cross-section of our society and celebrates the art of storytelling through music. Join us in concert in 2026 and let us tell you a story.
