Events Calendar

The Lazarus String Quartet are all graduates of the University of Canterbury, and started playing together in various ensembles from a young age. Formed in 2009, they won the ROSL Arts/Pettman Scholarship the following year and have been based overseas ever since, performing at venues such as London’s St-Martin-in-the-Fields and St James Piccadilly, and the Edinburgh Fringe and Budleigh Salterton Festivals. Their collaborations include artists such as Charles Castleman and Roman Nodel, and collectively, their masterclass highlights include sessions with András Schiff, Pinchas Zuckermann, Gautier Capuçon, Vadim Gluzman and David Takeno, as well as members from the Kopelman, Vermeer, Chilingirian, Kuss, Auryn and Doric string quartets.

They are currently all studying in Germany, and have been accepted as a quartet into the prestigious Masters in Chamber Music course at the Hochschule for Music, Drama and Media in Hanover, beginning in 2013 immediately after their NZ tour.
