Stringing together generations of chamber musicians

From Nights, 9:35 pm on 27 March 2025

Four years ago, an old Presbyterian church on the fringe of Auckland's CBD was saved from demolition and bought by a charitable trust.

It has been a labour of love, but in 2024, Kāhui St David's reopened to the public as a community arts space.

String Together is a three-day celebration of chamber music taking place in Kāhui St David's this weekend.

It's bringing together the legendary NZ Trio with a team of young aspiring musicians, from university scholars to primary-aged children, to collaborate and workshop, culminating in a public concert this Sunday.

Paul Baragwanath, the director of Kāhui St David's speaks to Emile Donovan.
