The program features exquisite masterpieces: Mozart’s charming Bassoon Quartet, Mendelssohn’s passionate Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 66, and Schumann’s richly expressive Piano Quartet in E-flat Major.

At the heart of this concert is Wilma Smith’s Argyle Trio, featured in a dynamic collaboration with festival artists. Renowned for her extraordinary contribution to classical music in Australasia, Wilma brings her artistry and leadership to a program that celebrates the interwoven paths of musicians whose lives span continents but remain deeply connected to Aotearoa.

Experience the warmth and intimacy of these timeless works, brought to life by a remarkable ensemble united by friendship, shared vision, and a love of chamber music.
