SUMMARY:The Australian String Quartet:  Convergence
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic rollercoaster of virtuosity and emotion converges in three wildly contrasting works by Stanhope\, Britten and Schubert.\nSince the release of their recorded trilogy of Paul Stanhope’s quartets\, the ASQ has proudly championed this beloved Australian composer\, whose first string quartet\, Elegies and Dances\, bristles with rhythmic vitality. Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No.2\, a deeply moving tribute to the great English composer Henry Purcell\, is the musical equivalent of a towering architectural marvel\, weaving four distinct voices in stark contrast and breathtaking unity. \nThe program culminates with Schubert’s enduringly popular Death and the Maiden quartet\, a window into the tortured soul of a musical giant at the height of his powers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralian String Quartet: Dale Barltrop Violin; Francesca Hiew Violin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Cartlidge Viola; Michael Dahlenburg Cello \nPaul Stanhope String Quartet No.1\, Elegies & Dances \nBenjamin Britten  String Quartet No.2 in C\, Op.36 \nFranz Schubert String Quartet No.14 in D minor\, Death and the Maiden \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday 27 October 2025 – 7:00pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval). Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nMRC\, Elisabeth murdoch Hall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $95; Concession $75; Under 40 $40; Student $15
