Origins

Join us at the historic Council Borough Building, 3 Victoria Rd, in Devonport for a special evening of art, heritage, and community.

To help celebrate NZ Music Month the New Zealand String Quartet, French-Kiwi fusion Café Chateaubriant and Toi Toi wines have partnered to bring you a divine evening of art, music and cuisine.

New Zealand’s leading string quartet, the NZSQ, will perform a stunning array of music exploring how composers transform feelings and stories into sound. The programme will journey through:

earthy contemporary pieces by New Zealand composers
vibrant pillars of the classical canon
nostalgic folk melodies.
Behind every piece of music is a story, and the NZSQ will bring each one to life.

Guests will have the opportunity to view the recently opened exhibition by fine arts photographer Chris Melville, showcasing a striking collection of contemporary works. Visitors can also explore the artist studio spaces upstairs, meet creatives in residence and experience the unique character of this landmark venue.
