Aroha String Quartet

Founded in 2004, this versatile quartet based in Wellington, New Zealand, is known for its passionate musicality, impressive technique, and multicultural innovation.

The Aroha Quartet is committed to presenting string quartet works from western classical and avant-garde repertoire to traditional Chinese folk music, as well as works for larger forces through collaborations with numerous high-profile musicians.

The Aroha Quartet runs the annual ASQ International Music Academy, a week-long chamber music course for non-professional string players. The eleventh ASQ Academy will take place in Wellington in July 2025. The Quartet's fifth ASQ International Academy in Asia took place in Zhongshan, China, in late January 2025.
