Woven Pathways - New Zealand String Quartet’s 2023 National Tour

New Zealand String Quartet’s 2023 National Tour, Woven Pathways, promises to be an unforgettable musical adventure. This extraordinary journey unfolds through four carefully crafted programmes, each offering a unique exploration of the human experience.      

Programme One: DEVOTION | The profound influences that shape our lives.  

Programme Two: INTROSPECTION | Painting musical portraits of the human experience.  

Programme Three: CELEBRATION | A joyous tribute to life and artistic expression.  

Programme Four: CONNECTION | Spirited conversations between string quartet and tāonga pūoro.      

With the Quartet as steady guides, let the music lead you through the peaks and troughs of the human condition. Witness one composer’s utter devotion to their cultural influences; another’s quiet yet steady journey of self-expression; a third’s explosive celebration of life. Each programme will take you on a unique, unifying and life-affirming journey through this funny thing called living.
 

2023 marks the 22nd season of the New Zealand String Quartet's annual National Tour, our flagship series which sees us traverse the breadth and depth of Aotearoa. Each year we perform a series of carefully curated programmes meditating on a central theme. These programmes are composed of a heady mix of classical favourites and edgy contemporary works, and all include pieces by New Zealand composers. Our National Tour is proudly supported by our Principal Sponsor, The Turnovsky Endowment Trust, and Creative New Zealand.
