May was a packed month of school visits, and we loved every single minute of it. Seeing music thrive and flourish in our local schools is always a massive highlight for us.

Huge thanks to the awesome staff and talented students at Mt Albert, Westlake, EGGS, Rangitoto, Northcote, and Kristin for having us along. Keep up the incredible mahi, everyone! 🌟

If you just caught our Dreamscape tour, you already know how incredible pianist Jian Liu is! 🎹✨

Well, he’s not slowing down. If you loved his energy with us on tour, you definitely won't want to miss him working his magic in a stunning solo piano programme that bridges Aotearoa and China in partnership with Chamber Music New Zealand. The tour starts today - check out when he's at a venue near you!

The last couple of days have been intense! 🎻🎹The semi-finals of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition are underway and we've been joined by fantastic Auckland Philharmonia violist Robert Ashworth as we rehearse and perform piano quintets with the semi-finalists. Excited to find out who will make it through to the finals on Saturday night!

The thrilling opening rounds of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition kick off in Queenstown tomorrow! From May 29 to June 1, sixteen of the world's most talented young violinists will deliver recitals across four action-packed days.

We'll be joining them for the competition’s demanding chamber music round, where they'll be required to lead piano quintets. The competitors will collaborate directly with NZTrio, as well as Auckland Philharmonia violist Robert Ashworth on June 3 & 4 at the Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber.

This will be followed by the Grand Final, where the final three violinists will perform a concerto with the Auckland Philharmonia under the baton of Alan Buribayev to launch the next global classical superstar.

What a dream Dreamscape has been! 🌙🎶

Thank you, North Island! Our Dreamscape tour is over, and we are so incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to support us over the last few weeks.

Sharing this music with audiences across Warkworth, Auckland, Whitianga, Cambridge, Palmerston North, Martinborough, and Wellington has been a total highlight. You all brought the best energy.

A big thank you goes to our wonderful guest pianist, Jian Liu, for making this tour so special. It’s been an absolute blast sharing the stage (and the road trip snacks) with you!

Thank you to the wonderful venue staff, the fantastic locals who helped us to get the word out, and our supporters and funders who meant that we were able to have pianos at venues (always a good thing for a piano trio!!!) that were tuned (thank you piano tuners!) and tour across the North Island.

🖤 Loved the moody vibe at the Cambridge Town Hall for our concert there on Saturday. Thank you to our lovely audiences in Cambridge and Whitianga on Sunday - we loved being on the road and seeing you all. Palmy, Martinborough and Wellington - you are next for our final Dreamscape concerts 🌙🎶

Cambridge Town Hall is looking pretty glam for tonight’s concert. Once sound check is done it’ll be time for us to glam up too! 💫😁
