Hot Young Strings is a string ensemble of Wellington’s finest young
musicians. It began life in 2005 from a wish to have an exciting ensemble of the best emerging young professionals.

In the words of Director Donald Armstrong it “combines the excitement of youth with a totally professional standard”. Donald was Music Director of the NZ Chamber Orchestra for 15 years and is associate concertmaster of the NZSO.

His love of music for string orchestra and his wealth of experience find a perfect match with “Hot Young Strings”. He promises a stunning concert that spans three centuries of the greatest string music.
