SUMMARY:New Zealand String Quartet presents Storytellers; Origins
DESCRIPTION:« All Events\n 				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	New Zealand String Quartet presents Storytellers; Origins				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n		\n			May 7\n\n	\n\n	 @ \n\n\n7:30 pm\n\n		\n\n\n\n	\n	 - \n\n9:30 pm\n\n\n\n	\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n									Behind every piece of music is a story and across their 2026 Season\, the New Zealand String Quartet is diving into them. Join them at Rangiora Chamber Gallery for an evening exploring a rich cross-section of compositional voices and celebrating the art of storytelling through music. ‘Origins’ opens with a piece composed especially for the NZSQ: Mika Cornelius’s Universal Veil\, an ethereal and atmospheric trip through the lifecycle of fungi. Schubert’s vibrant E flat major quartet shows the teenage composer finding his voice before Gareth Farr brings us home with the infectious personality of Mondo Rondo. Grammy nominee and ‘Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart’ (Time Out New York) Missy Mazzoli reimagines a harsh desert landscape into something wild and buoyant in Death Valley Junction. Origins concludes with the cornerstone of the NZSQ’s 2026 Season\, a tribute to Benjamin Britten as they play all three of his string quartets in the 50th year after his death. His first string quartet\, written at 27 years old\, prompted musicologist Peter Evans to declare him “a master of tonal architecture with scarcely a rival on the English scene.” It spans the intimate\, restless and sublime and forms the perfect ending to our meditation on beginnings. Origins programme: Mika Cornelius Universal Veil Franz Schubert String Quartet No. 10\, in E flat major (D. 87) ( Gareth Farr Mondo Rondo Interval Missy Mazzoli Death Valley Junction Benjamin Britten String Quartet No. 1\, in D major (Op. 25) The concert programme\, crafted in the NZSQ’s signature style\, aims to engage audiences of all levels of familiarity with chamber music. Each piece of music is preceded by a lively and informative introduction delivered by the Quartet members themselves. These introductions seek to shed light on the stories behind the music\, making it an enriching experience suitable for all audiences. 								\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n	Tags:	\n		\n	Gareth Farr\,\n\n	Mika Cornelius’s Universal Veil\,\n\n	New Zealand String Quartet\,\n\n	Schubert\n	\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n	\n	Chamber Gallery\n	\n	\n\n141 Percival Street\n	\n		\n		Rangiora\,\n\n	Canterbury\n\n\n	New Zealand\n\n\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n\n\n	\n					\n						\n	 \n\n\n	\n	View Venue Website \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n	\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n		\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n\n		\n			\n									\n	Google Calendar\n\n									\n	iCalendar\n\n									\n	Outlook 365\n\n									\n	Outlook Live
