Join us for a captivating Sunday late afternoon recital with the Pettman Ensemble, featuring pianist Michael Endres, violinist Elizabeth Layton, violist Stephen King and cellist Edith Salzmann. Set in the exquisite acoustics of the Powerhouse Gallery, this concert invites you to immerse yourself in the elegance and energy of 18th- and 19th-century Vienna—a time when music flourished and some of the greatest chamber works were born.


During the International Akaroa Summer Festival, the charming seaside town transforms into an oasis of world-class music — from chamber music and opera to jazz, virtuosic fireworks, and the exuberant spirit of the Roaring Twenties.
Treat yourself to our vibrant concert series, enjoy a glass of wine in the historic Gaiety Hall during intermission, and experience unforgettable performances by celebrated artists including Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Elizabeth Layton, Stephen King, Michael Endres, Anna Goldsworthy, and many more.
Celebrate the next generation of talent in our Powerhouse series, featuring some of New Zealand’s and Australia’s finest young musicians, or get a glimpse behind the scenes in our public masterclasses.
We look forward to welcoming you to Akaroa in 2026!
