5 March 2022 - There will be a change in personnel in the ASQ for 2022. Konstanze, our second violinist decided she did not wish to be vaccinated against Covid-19, which has unfortunately meant she is unable to perform in the group at present. We are pleased that NZSO First Violinist Anne Loeser is able to join us for the clarinet quintet concerts. For our second programme of the year we will play as a string trio. We hope to be reunited with Konstanze before too long.

Next concerts

Sunday, September 21 2025, 2:30pm - 4:30pm, Waikanae Memorial Hall

For this programme we are joined by four wonderful guest artists - Nick Walshe (clarinet), Justin Sun (bassoon), Alexander Hambleton (horn) and Oleksandr Gunchenko (double bass) - to present a programme enlivened by the varied timbres of wind instruments. Beginning with the Mozart String Quartet in B-flat K589 we move on to 'Serenata in vano' for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, Cello & Double Bass by Danish composer Carl Nielsen. This characterful work depicts a short and unsuccessful attempt at seduction. We finish with Schubert's mighty and virtuosic Octet, a work filled with jaunty dances, singable melodies and heart-rending moments. Tickets $40 Members, $50 Non Members, $10 Students.
