Chamber Music New Zealand — The John Psathas Group

New Zealand/Greek composer John Psathas has reached a level of global success unparalleled by any other Kiwi composer. He regularly collaborates with musicians at the top of their game. Chamber Music New Zealand is proud to help John usher in a new supergroup of international artists devoted to bringing his music to life. The John Psathas Group performs for the first time at the Michael Fowler Centre on 9 August. It presents a programme that shapes a vision for the future of chamber music, one that is compelling, thought-provoking, and incorporates contemporary ideas, issues, and technologies. 

Says John of the concert — “Each of the works tells some part of the story of our shared humanity. Relentless projects text about the experience of women through the ages, and The Nature of Reality pools together the words of writers currently at the forefront of describing how the social fabric of today’s world is being reinvented around us.”
