Korimako has its debut concert in Wellington next week. And while the ensemlbe may be new, the names are familiar - established musicians Helene Pohl (violin), Rolf Gjelsten (cello) and Michael Endres (piano).

RNZ Concert's David Morriss caught up with the musicians to talk about how the trio came into being, the inspiration behind the name, 'Korimako', and what's on the programme of their debut concert at St Andrew's on The Terrace in Wellington on Wednesday 5 November.
