Experience Matthias Balzat's mastery in Vieuxtemps' "Cello Concerto No. 1", a highlight of a concert that starts with Beethoven and concludes with Bizet's charming symphony.
“The music was in his body, his fingers and his brain as if it could be no other way. The cello seemed like an extension of his body and, for the first time any cares I had about the acoustic, the instrument, the work, the age of the player, or anything else, totally disappeared“ - Tony Ryan, Radio NZ

About Us...
Chamber Music Rotorua specializes in presenting live music by chamber-music ensembles and soloists. Our focus is on high-quality performances, which are usually performed by professional musicians. Although many of our members love music in the western "classical" tradition, we present works from all over the world and from medieval times right up to the present - we've even had some NZ premieres of new work.
​
We normally run about four to six concerts per year, some of which are part of the Chamber Music New Zealand series, while from time to time others may be organized independently by us.
