New Zealand String Quartet presents Storytellers - Origins

The New Zealand String Quartet’s sold out concert in Rangiora’s celebrated Chamber Gallery had a theme of storytelling - demonstrating how composers transformed stories and experiences into sound.
Universal Veil (2025) by Mika Cornelius (NZ) opened the program taking us on a journey through the remarkable lifecycle of a mushroom, eventually returning to the underground web of mycelium and the question of borders between individual, collective and nature. Remarkably, the current exhibition - Marilyn Rea-Menzies Nature’s Symphony: A visual journey through our forests, Tapestries, Paintings and Drawings - provided a superb background to this story.
Next we moved into more familiar soundscapes of Schubert’s early String Quartet No 10 in E flat major, a performance that lifted and calmed the spirit with its joy and playfulness.
Gareth Farr’s Mondo Rondo energised us with it’s vital, enthusiastic and driving rhythms that conjured up diverse visual images in the audiences’ minds. Missy Mazzoli’s Death Valley Junction (2010) took us to a harsh desert landscape and we finished with the wide emotional range of Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No 1 in D major Op 25 (1941). Britten, a committed pacifist, wrote this work during World War II, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of his death.
The NZSQ gave each work a lively introduction providing helpful context to the music we were about to hear. Wine and cheese, combined with the opportunity to meet the players and fellow audience members, rounded off another rich experience in this local, community run concert series.
