Chamber Music New Zealand

Brodsky Quartet

You sit. They stand. It’s a trademark of the Brodsky Quartet’s “engaging communicative style”, according to Euan Murdoch, Chamber Music New Zealand’s former Chief Executive. He describes them as a “phenomenal group” with programming that’s “always incredibly inventive”. They led the charge when crossover became popular, teaming up in the 1990s with Elvis Costello, and later Björk.

The Brodsky Quartet has given over 3000 concerts and released more than 60 recordings since they first formed in 1972. The cellist and second violinist are original members.

Sharing their energy and craftsmanship with the next generation, they are currently International Fellows of Chamber Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
