Discover the New Zealand Chamber Soloists
The New Zealand Chamber Soloists bring the luminescent colours, sights and sounds of Aotearoa to the world through the intimate experience of chamber music. The core of the group is the piano trio of Katherine Austin (piano), Lara Hall (violin), and James Tennant (cello), although they have welcomed many other renowned New Zealand musicians and composers under this banner. The group is dedicated to treating classical music as a spontaneous and vivid experience, in which the audience and performers are connected through the universal language of music.
Over the past decade, the New Zealand Chamber Soloists have celebrated the vital and energetic new compositions from the composers' of New Zealand, alongside the works of the classical and 20th Century traditions. The group has brought a unique blend of virtuosity, colour and life-force to music old and new, an approach international audiences have come to expect from this clean and pure island environment of the South Pacific.
Please explore this website for more information about the activities of the ensemble, performances, repertoire, recordings and listen to some beautiful recordings on the On Record and In Concert page.
Based at the Conservatorium at the University of Waikato, the NZCS has a permanent home in the award winning Dr John Gallagher Auditorium where many of their new commissions have been recorded.
