Stringing together generations of chamber musicians
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.
