About the Event
‘’A diverse array of sonorous string sounds - inviting listeners on a journey to reflect and connect’’ - Four Winds Artistic & Creative Director Matthew Hoy
The ASQ is Dale Barltrop (violin), Francesca Hiew (violin), Christopher Cartlidge (viola) and Michael Dahlenburg (cello).
The evening will showcase one of the nation’s renowned string quartets, performing a diverse and dynamic range of repertoire that conveys the potency of chamber music of today when in their hands. The ASQ will begin their musical journey with a triptych of miniatures from an exciting generation of Australian voices - equal parts animated, reflective and atmospheric. The night will culminate with Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 9 - a vibrant work of masterful contrast and counterpoint that conjures up ecstatic moments, brimming with energy.
