Formed in 2003, Jade
String Quartet is NZ's hottest new instrumental ensemble, with its members
all players in the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. Jade has already
established itself as a musical force to be reckoned with, through many
brilliant live concerts, and have recorded a Live CD which highlights
the groups ability to passionately perform works of great magnitude and
depth. Eclectic violinist Miranda Adams ( from Vivo and Bravura fame), is
well-known throughout NZ as an exciting live performer of dazzling
virtuosity, and Associate Concertmaster with APO. She is joined by
fellow Kiwi William Hanfling (co-violin), Sub-Principal player in the
APO. Robert Ashworth, prizewinning violist from Canada and Principal viola of
the APO is in much demand as a solo, chamber and orchestral player throughout
NZ. German born cellist Claudia Price
brings her International experience from London and Berlin to further
enhance the group's sound.
Jade’s
repertoire ranges from early Baroque to present day, including several NZ commissions
and quirky arrangements of modern music.
