Christopher's Classics 2027

At the heart of great chamber music is conversation – between artists and our audiences, and between friends on and off the stage. Our 2027 Season celebrates these special conversations in a line up of unique collaborations amongst old friends and new, traversing classical, jazz, and theatre for our most dynamic season yet. I hope our season also sparks conversation amongst you our audiences – as live music experiences are always a fabulous opportunity to share ideas, try something new, and delight in the unexpected. Chamber music is a living artform, multifaceted, and ever evolving.

Thank you for your support of Christopher’s Classics, which enables us to present world class artists for you right here at The Piano in Ōtautahi. We look forward to sharing in the great music, and the great conversation.
