The Piano's Sundays at Four 2025 Season in Canterbury

Nau Mai, Haere Mai - a warm welcome to The Piano's Sundays at Four 2025 Season.
We warmly invite you to join us in 2025, and enjoy the restorative and uplifting power of live music presented by some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s finest pianists. Now in our fourth year, Sundays at Four continues to champion piano performance and repertoire as New Zealand’s premiere piano recital series. The combination of exceptional artists, our wonderful Steinway D and world class acoustics of the Philip Carter Family Concert Hall make this a rather special concert series indeed.

You’ll find familiar delights and some hidden gems amongst our 2025 Season, and we hope you’ll feel inspired to try something a little different knowing each programme has been thoughtfully crafted for you by our artists.

Full season subscriptions to all six concerts offer considerable savings - get in touch with the friendly team at The Piano to secure your premium seats via www.thepiano.nz or info@thepiano.nz
