We begin with an 11am concert perfomred by the Pettman Players, a group of aspiring young Kiwi musicians, timed perfectly to enjoy with your mid-morning coffee.
NZSQ and James Dunham then perform two concerts at, 3pm and 7,30 p.m., each featuring one of the Brahms Quintets paired with one of the great Mozart Quintets.
The festival also includes a feature discussing the Brahms and Mozart connection, hosted by Frances Moore.
