CMHV: Amici Ensemble

Amici Ensemble was formed by Donald Armstrong, the Associate Concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, in 1988 to perform works for many varieties of combination of instruments. Once again, in 2019, he draws together principal musicians from the NZSO to present an innovative programme. The Amici Ensemble is noted for its musicality and ability to relate to audiences - “splendid playing of a winning programme ..” - Dominion Post.
