Chamber music stars back at home, the New Zealand Quartet bring their interpretation of Leoš Janáček’s music to the Rudolfinum. In 2021, they recorded two string quartets by the composer. For this programme, they also present music of their own country by Gareth Farr, whose quartet Te Koanga (“Spring”) was inspired by the singing of the tūī, a bird native to New Zealand.
