Enjoy Beautiful Chamber Music with a View! Relax with a cuppa while listening to expertly curated chamber music featuring Helene, Rolf, and top musicians at an intimate venue in one of Wellington’s most stunning locations.
Helen Pohl (violin) and Rolf Gjelsten (cello), as the Chamber Pot Pourri Ensemble, are getting together with friends to play a series of intimate concerts that support some of their favourite causes – Arohanui Strings+ included (www.arohanuistrings.org).
Comfy Concert No.7 with Simeon Broom (violin) and Nicholas Hancox (viola) on 18 October, 2025, playing:
JS Bach - Suite No. 3 in C Major for cello solo
Dmitri Shostakovich – Quartet No. 5
Dmitri Shostakovich – Quartet No. 2
(programmes and artists may change - but hopefully not!)
The Comfy Concert series
The Comfy Concerts is a series of four beautiful concert experiences with two dates to benefit Kaibosh (20 September and 16 November) and two dates to benefit Arohanui Strings+ (Saturday 30 August and 18 October).

Thank you to Helene, Rolf and musicians of The Chamber Pot Pourri Ensemble, for generously donating time and talent in support Arohanui Strings+ and Kaibosh!
Learn more about these charities: arohanuistrings.org and kaibosh.org.nz
Location
The Long Hall overlooks Point Jerningham with views of Te Whanganui-a-Tara / Wellington Harbour. See the Google map location.
You can park on Maida Vale Rd or on Roseneath School tennis court and follow the signs. Or on foot or bike, use the footpath up from Carlton Gore Road or from Maida Vale Road near Roseneath School.
Dress warmly, and maybe bring a cushion and some slippers, as it's shoes off to protect the new floor.
It's going to be a wonderful afternoon of fabulous music, while supporting the next generation of musicians through raising funds for two fabulous charities.
