New Zealand String Quartet


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

Acclaimed for its dynamic performing style, eloquent communication and beautiful sound, the New Zealand String Quartet has distinguished itself internationally for its imaginative programming, including cycles of composers’ music from Mozart to Berg, and the championing of music from New Zealand. The Quartet has made acclaimed débuts in London at the Wigmore Hall, in New York at the prestigious Frick Collection and at the Library of Congress in Washington, and has undertaken concert tours in Europe, North America and Asia, as well as performing over forty concerts a year in its own country. Their extensive discography includes music by Bartók, Ravel, Debussy, Beethoven, Dvořák, Székely, Berg and Wolf and numerous works by New Zealand composers. The first two sets of their complete Mendelssohn string quartets for the Naxos label, of which this is the third volume, have been highly praised by critics including The Gramophone magazine. The ensemble’s innovative collaborations have included performances with numerous internationally renowned artists and concertos with the BBC Scottish Symphony, the Auckland Chamber Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The group has been Quartet-in-Residence at Victoria University of Wellington, now the New Zealand School of Music, since 1991.
