It gives us great pleasure to share with you our special 30th Anniversary Season, celebrating the brilliance and intimacy of chamber music here at The Piano. Christopher Marshall took great pride in showcasing world-class New Zealand artists, and our 2025 Season is no different, presenting a fabulous variety of music from the fresh to the familiar. We honour Christopher’s immense contribution to the musical life of Christchurch and New Zealand in our 30th Season, proudly presented by The Piano from 2025 onwards. We look forward to sharing this with you all.
