Description
Apollo Musicum formed as a string quartet 19 September 1953 for a concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of NZ women getting the vote , the first women in the world to do so.
The creation of Apollo Musicum espoused the idea of professional and teacher players joining with student performers to make music together and to help develop musical skills.
Apollo now comprises over one hundred members forming string ensembles, chamber orchestras and choral groups on a session basis in Christchurch and in collaboration with players in other regions.
On occasions, Apollo has performed under other banners to honour contributing artists, for example as the Lyndsay String Quartet, in 1963, it won the first ever NZ-wide Chamber Music Contest.
Can you help?
We have compiled a list of community orchestras and orchestral groups across Aotearoa New Zealand. While we believe this list to be comprehensive, we understand there may be omissions. If your orchestra is missing, please let us know. We strive for accuracy but mistakes can happen. Please share any corrections or additional information you have about your group.
