Moth Quartet, formed in 2023, is a string quartet of composers — Tristan Carter (violin), Salina Fisher (violin), Elliot Vaughan (viola), and Nicholas Denton Protsack (cello).
Each has a unique, vital solo practice, and the collective is an indispensable force in Aotearoa’s musical landscape. Their disciplined improvisations and co-composition can be heard in their debut album Scree Scrub Mountain Sky (Whatnot, 2024), with the follow up, TUNDRA due for release this year.
“We are incredibly proud to host these exceptional musicians in collaboration with Toi MAHARA,” says Jess Deacon, founder of Mostly Music.
“This event exemplifies what we’re passionate about: celebrating artistic excellence, nurturing meaningful partnerships, and creating unforgettable experiences for our community.”
“A Moth Quartet performance is a unique musical experience, a journey through unexpected universes, presented through untethered abandon meticulously constructed. At this concert, you will hear the quartet first in the natural acoustic of Toi MAHARA, then gently amplified, revealing subtleties and creating an immersive bath of texture and beauty.” They take to the stage sans music stands and scores and what follows is a revelation” (SOUNZ)
Kirsten Le Harivel, Communications Manager for Toi MAHARA, says “This performance brings something unique to our Live Art programme. It has been a pleasure collaborating with Mostly Music to offer audiences something truly special.”
