about us

The Antipodes Quartet brings together four distinct voices, uniting in a shared pursuit of sound, storytelling, and expression. Rooted in tradition yet driven by curiosity, we explore the vast possibilities of the string quartet—where individuality meets cohesion, and where music becomes a conversation without words.

Our values

Artistic Integrity & Excellence

We strive for the highest level of musicianship, honoring the quartet tradition while remaining open to new
interpretations and styles.

Every note we play reflects our dedication to the craft and our belief in music’s transformative power.

Innovation & Exploration

Chamber music is a living, breathing art form.

We embrace the unusual, the experimental, and the boundary-pushing, drawing inspiration from diverse genres, contemporary works, and cross-artform collaborations.

Connection & Community

As young musicians, we believe in fostering a strong chamber music community by mentoring, supporting, and collaborating with other emerging artists.

Our performances aim to engage audiences of all ages, creating shared experiences that transcend the concert hall.

Cultural Identity & Global Perspective

Our name, Antipodes, represents our identity as artists from the southernmost reaches of the world, offering a fresh perspective on classical music.

We are proud to champion New Zealand composers and to bring the spirit of the Antipodes to audiences abroad.
