String Together – a three-day musical project bringing together professional musicians and the next generation of talent to connect, learn, and inspire.
In collaboration with NZTrio, University of Auckland School of Music, Tironui Music Trust, and Sistema Aotearoa, Kāhui St David’s is launching this exciting new initiative for strings and piano—the start of an ongoing journey of musical collaboration.
By stringing together today’s musicians, we are future-proofing live musical performance in Aotearoa, ensuring young artists have the opportunities and mentorship they need to thrive.

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