With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

Federation (now Chamber Music New Zealand), embraced the vision of
having a resident first-class professional string quartet who would prioritise music by our own composers and who could take on projects of the kind that would be impracticable for visiting quartets. The NZSQ have more than fulfilled that vision and – thirty years on – are an established and vital part of the musical infrastructure in Aotearoa.
Comprised of Helene Pohl (violin I), Monique Lapins (violin II), Gillian Ansell (viola) and Rolf Gjelsten (cello), the quartet have, through hard work, dedication to fine music and ceaseless travelling become favourites of New Zealand concertgoers.
Over the decades the Quartet has cultivated a rich repertoire, including a wide variety of New Zealand music, composers’ cycles from Beethoven to Bartok, Mozart to Berg, The Quartet have proudly championed New Zealand music since their inception, commissioning over 150 New Zealand works.
All members of the Quartet teach at the New Zealand School of Music – Te Kokī where the NZSQ has been Quartet-in-Residence since 1991, as well as running the Adam Chamber Music School in Nelson and the NZSM Queen’s Birthday Chamber Music Weekend in Wellington for up-and-coming musicians.
The Mulled Wine Concerts organisation headed up by Mary Gow will showcase the NZ String Quartet at on 13 August at St. Peter's Village Hall in Paekakariki. This concert offers Kapiti audiences a chance to experience the quartet as they work their classical magic on a selection from their 2023 repertoire, including pieces by Schubert, Smetana and Ross Harris.
“The concerts will undoubtedly be popular” says Gow. “We are pleased and honoured to be able to present such a high-level and well-known group of musicians as part of our 2023 Kapiti concert series”.
