Orion String Quartet

A common interest in historically informed performance practice brought the Orion Quartet together to explore classical string quartets on period instruments.

Since their first house concert in October 2016, the quartet has performed many times in Wellington and has been proactive in masterclasses, lessons and workshops with internationally renowned period instrument artists such as Sigiswald Kuijken (Holland), Aisslinn Nosky (Canada) and Catherine Mackintosh (England).

Consisting of players from the NZSO and Orchestra Wellington, the Orion quartet members get a lot of satisfaction from this music and look forward to sharing this beautiful music with you.
