One of Haydn's most virtuosic and masterly quartets makes the perfect concert opener for this musical feast.
We are delighted to perform for you a new work written for us by our close friend David Harris, an exciting Australian composer we have wanted to collaborate with for some time.
Schubert's final String Quartet is a colossus of the repertoire. Its immense power and great breadth will enthral you from beginning to end. The work is a titanic harmonic struggle between minor and major, darkness and light. It rewards listeners with some of the most profound music from the early Romantic period.
