SUMMARY:Australian String Quartet – Aurora
DESCRIPTION:A sound-world shimmering with brilliance.\nWith a reputation as the ‘father of the string quartet’\, Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet in D\, Op.76 No.5 opens this concert. Composed in 1797\, it reflects the composer at the height of his powers in the genre. The second movement is of a particularly contemplative\, otherworldly quality and a defining feature of this quartet in contrast to the upbeat nature of the surrounding three movements\, including a thrillingly bright finale. \nFinnish composer Olli Mustonen’s String Quartet No.1\, completed in 2016\, symbolises — as the composer himself says — a journey from darkness to light. It balances fervent rhythms and hymnal melodies with intertwining psychological and physical elements through the music’s textures and moods\, which are said to evoke travel into fantasy worlds. \nFinishing this concert is Edvard Grieg’s String Quartet No.1 in G minor\, composed in 1877 — a Norwegian gem fusing Romantic melodies and folk influences. Its four movements are marked by emotional depth and nationalistic flair\, and a captivating originality that makes it a celebrated work in Grieg’s output. \n\nMonday 18 November 2024 7pm \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $78 ($67 Concession); 35 & Under $35; Student $15

SUMMARY:Australian String Quartet – Vanguard
DESCRIPTION:A powerful program of music that radically extends the boundaries of the string quartet. \nBeethoven’s String Quartet in E-flat\, Op.127\, is the first of what are known as his late quartets. When premiered in 1825\, it struck listeners with its innovation of expression and musical themes which transcended its time\, making it a revolutionary work in the history of the string quartet. Its exploration of human emotions and musical ideas continues to resonate with audiences across generations\, solidifying its relevance to this day. \nFor his second commission from the Australian String Quartet\, composer Harry Sdraulig will produce his first full-length work\, having previously composed a shorter work\, Swirl\, for the ensemble in 2020. Expect rich lyricism and harmony\, and intricate\, driving rhythms. \nMoravian-born American composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s String Quartet No.2 in E-flat\, written in 1933\, showcases his mastery of Romanticism. Combining lush harmonies with intricate interweaving of musical voices\, this quartet reveals his versatility as a composer beyond his acclaimed works for the screen. Traversing a rich tapestry of feelings\, spanning longing to exuberance\, it demonstrates Korngold’s position as one of the great post-Romantics.\nMonday 1 July 2024 7pm \nMonday 1 July 2024 7pm\nMelbourne Recital Centre\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nTICKETS: Standard $78 ($67 Concession); 35 & Under $35; Student $15

SUMMARY:Australian String Quartet: Florescence
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of the string quartet across continents and contexts.\nA dramatic proclamation sets the scene as Australian composer Justin Williams’ Movement for String Quartet begins this concert with an exploration of distinct and juxtaposing musical material. From twenty-first century Australia we travel to eighteenth century Austria\, where Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet No.1 in B minor thrills with an impulsiveness that makes for a virtuosic and exuberant experience. \nHenry Purcell’s Fantasia No.6 showcases this Baroque composer’s mastery of suspension and release in a meditative ‘fancy’ before we are whisked into the program’s celebratory finale. Antonin Dvořák’s melodically rich and festive String Quartet No.14 — the composer’s final instrumental chamber work—brims with inventive interplay and influences from the composer’s experiences abroad and connection to his Bohemian homeland’s folk traditions. \n\nMonday 30 October 2023\, 7pm      MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $78 ($67 Concession); Student & Under 30 $33

SUMMARY:Australian String Quartet: Utopias
DESCRIPTION:Enter worlds of fantastical visions\, intimate revelation\, and quiet hope for the spirit of mankind.\nVanishing visions of the idyll — a Utopian world of natural splendour\, aquatic and pastoral — are conjured by an intricate and highly original string soundscape from Thomas Adès\, titled Arcadiana. Following this is Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor — intensely personal in its expression\, moments of intimately sublime sorrow give way to bursts of playful radiance\, in only the way Mozart can achieve. \nFinishing this concert is a work that provides an outward lens to the inner world of a composer balancing a delicate and dangerous relationship with political powers. Dedicated to his third wife Irena\, Dimitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No.9 is defined by its introspective whisperings\, caressing melodies\, and dramatic edge-of-your-seat rhythmic bite. \n\nMonday 15 May 2023 7pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 1 hour 40 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $78 ($67 Concession); Student & Under 30: $33

SUMMARY:ASQ in Concert: Symonds Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:liaBe swept away by music from contemporary Australian composer Jack Symonds and Ludwig van Beethoven.\nJack Symonds’ String Quartet No.2 whispers into existence\, interrupting the intangible build-up of concert expectancy with an ascending violin line that is the very genesis of this spectacular work. Over its unique two-part structure Symonds skilfully unravels the DNA of that opening statement\, sweeping the listener up in a display of virtuosity\, contrasts and textures that bounce off and reflect each other. This piece brilliantly showcases the string quartet through its wide-ranging breadth of expression and extremes of colour. \nSchubert famously remarked of Beethoven’s Op.131\, that ‘after this\, what is there left for us to write?’ Of the quartets he produced at his full maturity\, Beethoven was said to treasure this one as his favourite. Seven movements are performed without break\, ranging from richly harmonic\, slow and layered to comically light-hearted and absurd\, taking the listener into a deeply intimate world. From darkness to light\, from solitude to ecstasy\, the sheer impact of this epic journey might only be realised long after its final notes have faded. \n\nMonday 31 October 2022 7pm; MRC Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $70 ($60 Concession); Student & Under 30: $30

SUMMARY:ASQ in Concert: Britten Paterson Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:Program\nBenjamin Britten\nThree Divertimenti \nDavid Paterson\nString Quartet No.1 (Melbourne premiere)* \nLudwig van Beethoven\nString Quartet in C\, Op.59 No.3\, ‘Razumovsky’ \n*commissioned by the Australian String Quartet with the generous support of Michael Rowe and Bernard Ryan in celebration of the birthday of Patricia Davidson \nAbout the concert\nBritten’s Three Divertimenti for String Quartet opens this concert with a flourish of colour. At times reflective and at times brooding\, this sharp\, brilliant set of three short character pieces showcases a breadth of musical tone and texture from the Quartet. \nFollowing the Britten will be the world premiere of a new work commissioned by the ASQ from Australian composer David Paterson. This is Paterson’s third commission for the ensemble\, having also produced two other works\, Quartettsätze and Scherzo\, in 2016 and 2020 respectively. \nFinishing this program is Beethoven’s third and final Razumovsky quartet\, fondly nicknamed the Eroica (Heroic). Considered by many as one of Beethoven’s most radiant compositions\, its bustling and triumphant final movement is what has earned it its nickname. As this concert began\, so too shall it finish with a display of technical mastery from the ASQ in this playfully interweaving and uplifting finale. \n\nTuesday 26 April 2022 7pm \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 1 hour 10 mins (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nStandard $70 ($60 Concession)

SUMMARY:Australian String Quartet: Speechless
DESCRIPTION:After Mozart’s death\, Peter Lichtenthal distilled his idol’s Requiem into a wordless\, pristine string quartet masterwork\, transforming it from profoundly religious into a beautiful\, abstract work of art. \nBerg’s Lyric Suite is a similar song without words; there are quotes from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde and Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony\, and the last movement is a secret wordless setting of a poem by Baudelaire. It’s a work borne of a doomed love affair\, set against the backdrop of a fin de siecle Vienna. \nAt the heart of any Schubert work is song\, and it is with his frantically scurrying and carefree singing Quartettsatz that we open this program; an unfinished work that somehow feels as if nothing more could be said. \nThe Australian String Quartet members are Kristian Winther\, violin\, Ioana Tache\, violin\, Stephen King\, viola\, Sharon Draper\, cello \n
