Join us in February 2022 when some of New Zealand’s finest chamber musicians will gather for four days of performances, artist talks, masterclasses and more, all presented in the glorious acoustic of Nelson Centre of Musical Arts. Artistic Directors Gillian Ansell and Helene Pohl bring their supreme expertise to curating a programme that highlights each artist as well as challenging them with new collaborations.

“We are so looking forward to the unique atmosphere of this magical time, to immerse ourselves and the audience in great works of musical art."

"We are bringing together many dear Adam Festival friends and introducing a few new ones as well."

"A Russian theme runs through this Celebration, with great works by Shostakovich, Schnittke, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky on the menu.”

The 2022 Adam Summer Celebration is dedicated to the late Carolyn Diessl.
