New Zealand String Quartet

Helene Pohl, violin
Douglas Beilman, violin
Gillian Ansell, viola
Rolf Gjelsten, cello

Acclaimed for its powerful communication, dramatic energy, and beauty of sound, the New Zealand String Quartet has distinguished itself internationally for its imaginative and unique programming, including cycles of composers’ music from Mozart to Berg, and the championing of works from New Zealand and the Pacific Rim. They have won praise for their versatility in performing with jazz artists and indigenous musicians as well as for their fresh approach to the great classics of the quartet repertoire.

The quartet has made acclaimed débuts in London at the Wigmore Hall, and in New York at the prestigious Frick Collection, and has undertaken concert tours of Korea, North America, and Mexico, including two concerts at the Cervantino International Festival, with some forty concerts in New Zealand alone. The New Zealand String Quartet has been featured on North America’s popular public radio programme St Paul Sunday, and has recorded for Deutsche Welle, CBC in Canada, and Australia’s ABC, as well as regularly appearing on Radio New Zealand’s fine music network Concert FM.
