Caprice Arts Trust

The Caprice Arts Trust (CAT) is a charitable trust, founded in 2008 by music promoter and educator Sunniva Zoete-West.

The Trust provides an independent platform for performers and composers and is dedicated to performing the music our artists themselves feel passionate. Further aims of the Trust’s creative activities are to broadly popularize contemporary NZ music and to promote the performance of music in general on a regular basis..

An annual concert programme promoted by CAT is presented in two semesters each year and each mini-series is performed in various locations.

The dynamic concerts are a unique blend of intelligent performance and passionate music making. Musicians range from newly graduated to virtuosic, experienced musicians who excel at the performance of chamber music as well as solo repertoire.

Since its inception, the critically acclaimed CAT series has earned a reputation for top-calibre performances, which clearly foster the closest communication possible between performers, composers and their audience. Some of the concert series and musical projects are aimed at a wider audience with classical through to romantic work featured. Others attract a more specialist audience of, for instance, jazz lovers or enthusiastic advocates for new music.

Concerts which include an eclectic mix of genres, with whatever music the artists involved feel passionate about, also draw a broad audience of supporters.
