"A Celebration of Youth"

Dear Friends,

We present to you some of the finest young musicians of their generation, right here on your doorstep. It turns out we have so much talent in the Wellington region (and Karori!) that it is really hard to narrow it down to one evening. Our next concert will focus on some of these young musicians playing up a storm around the place.

As part of this concert we will present some of the highlights from Chamber Music New Zealand's Chamber Music Contest so far. We cannot speak highly enough of the dedication, commitment and the wonderful music these students bring to us. Come and see for yourself!

Join us for a celebration of some wonderful young talents; musicians that leave us assured that classical music has a bright and brilliant future.

Sincerely,
The Karori Classics Team
