Australian String Quartet: Rapture

May 22 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$15 – $95
Rapture pulses with a vital force through the music of Beethoven, Perica, Janáček and Golijov.

Beethoven’s String Quartet No.11 in F minor bursts forth, opening Rapture with unrivalled energy and intensity, setting the scene for a concert of remarkable contrasts.

Experience the World Premiere of Australian composer Vanessa Perica’s No Feeling is Final, a four-movement quartet drawing inspiration from the composer’s own life and all its joys, twists and turns. Janáček’s Intimate Letters then transports us to the fever dreams and passions of unrequited love before Golijov’s tender Tenebrae reminds us of the wonder and fragility of human existence.

Don’t miss Australian String Quartet’s return to Elisabeth Murdoch Hall in 2025.
