SUMMARY:Flinders Quartet at Montsalvat – Australia Fair?
DESCRIPTION:Flinders Quartet’s 25th season concludes with Dvořák and works by Australian composers Cheetham Fraillon and Marks.\nAs Flinders Quartet celebrates their 25th anniversary\, they reflect on their identity as an Australian chamber ensemble\, curating a concert program of works in which the composers were likely pondering similar questions: who are we\, who were we\, and who do we want to be? \nFlinders Quartet revisit’s Deborah Cheetham Fraillon’s powerful and evocative string quartet\, Bungaree\, first premiered in 2020. Bungaree is a figure who should be an Australian household name\, and thanks to Deborah\, he is now part of Flinders Quartet idea of Australia’s\, and their own\, identity. \nAustralia Fair? by Bryony Marks asks us to think about very important and fundamental questions about identity. And Dvořák wrote his last chamber work\, the A flat string quartet\, at the very end of his time in America. Although he was inspired by the lush prairies and woods he was introduced to there\, his musical identity was still so connected to his love of the landscape of his homeland\, the Czech Republic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nArtists: Elizabeth Sellars Violin; Wilma Smith Violin; Helen Ireland Viola; Zoe Knighton Cello \nDeborah Cheetham Fraillon Bungaree – Commissioned by Flinders Quartet with support from Andrew Dixon\, in memory of Jean and John Dixon. \nBryony Marks Australia Fair? Volume I: ‘The Australian Dream’ \nAntonín Dvořák String Quartet No.14 in A flat Op.105 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: This is an offsite concert\, taking place at Montsalvat in Eltham. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 26 October 2025 – 2:30pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval). Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $50; Concession $40; Group 10+ $40; Student $40

SUMMARY:Flinders Quartet at Montsalvat – Musical Friends
DESCRIPTION:Can music describe a person?\nFlinders Quartet explores this with new pieces by Eötvös\, Singh\, and Nicolas\, and Borodin’s second quartet. \nMendelssohn famously said\, ‘It’s not that music is too imprecise for words\, but too precise…’. Flinders Quartet has always loved this quote and decided to explore this idea by pairing two composers\, Melody Eötvös and Rishin Singh\, living on opposite sides of the world in a musical letter writing project. The premise being that one composer begins the conversation by writing a short section\, which is sent to the other composer who absorbs the music and writes a short section in return. Flinders Quartet are\, in effect\, the go-between. \nNatalie Nicolas’ By the Tide of the Moon captures the strength and beauty of Aida Tuciute\, a Lithuanian Olympic swimmer with a love of ocean swimming; while Borodin’s second quartet depicts the love of his wife and their first three glorious months of marriage spent in Heidelberg. The themes of love\, letter writing\, and communication through music are counterbalanced with the crystalline brilliance of Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue in C minor\, which celebrates the sheer joy of music for music’s sake alone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nElizabeth Sellars Violin ; Wilma Smith Violin; Helen Ireland Viola; Zoe Knighton Cello \nNatalie Nicolas By the Tide of the Moon – World premiere \nCommissioned by Andrew Domasevicius-Zilinskas for Flinders Quartet and dedicated to Aida Tuciute\, and her beautiful kinship with the ocean. \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Adagio and Fugue in C minor\, K.546 \nMelody Eötvös / Rishin Singh The Letter Writing Project – World premiere  Commissioned by Flinders Quartet with the support of Kim Williams AM and FQ Syndicate #6. \nAlexander Borodin String Quartet No.2 in D \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 10 August 2025 – 2:30pm Duration: 2 hours (incl. interval). Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nMontsalvat \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $50; Concession $40; Group 10+ $40; Student $40\nA Transaction Fee between $4 and $8.50 applies to orders made online and by phone. Delivery Fees may also apply. A ticket limit of six is in place online to ensure fair ticket access for all. Want to bring a bigger party?

SUMMARY:Flinders Quartet Flinders Quartet at Montsalvat – Paavali
DESCRIPTION:Paavali Jumppanen joins Flinders Quartet for their 25th anniversary\, featuring works by Bacewicz\, Shostakovich\, and Beethoven.\nMelbourne has been lucky to have extraordinary pianist\, Paavali Jumppanen\, in our musical community as Artistic Director at ANAM. He joins Flinders Quartet in the opening concert program of their 25th anniversary season for not just one piano quintet but two! Graznya Bacewicz was an accomplished pianist and violin virtuoso whose deep knowledge of the instruments as a performer shows itself in her writing. Her piano quintet is evidence of her immaculate skill and mediates between folkloric impulses and the rigour of classical principles\, creating a sound world which is constantly delivering moments of unexpected beauty. \nShostakovich was so busy performing his popular new piano quintet on tour with his friends of the Beethoven Quartet following its premiere in November 1940 that he hardly had time to compose for six months. Flinders Quartet sets up this wonderful piano feast with Beethoven’s short but powerful Op.95 F minor quartet ‘Serioso’\, written at a time of personal despair and the only one he named himself. \nElizabeth Sellars violin\nWilma Smith violin\nHelen Ireland viola\nZoe Knighton cello\nPaavali Jumppanen piano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLudwig Van Beethoven String Quartet No.11 in F minor\, Op.95 \nGraznya Bacewicz Piano Quintet No.1 \nDmitri Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G minor\, Op.57 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 18 May 2025 – 2:30pm \nMontsalvat \nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).

SUMMARY:Motets at Montsalvat
DESCRIPTION:In its first program of 2017\, Polyphonic Voices continues to explore the vast repertoire of choral motets with well-known (and not so well-known) selections from throughout the history of Western Art Music. The unique program juxtaposes different settings of the same pieces of text: Eric Whitacre’s and Thomas Tomkins’ settings of “When David Heard”\, Olivier Messiaen’s and Tomás Luis de Victoria’s “O Sacrum Convivium”\, Samuel Scheidt’s and Tarik O’Regan’s “Surrexit Christus”\, Orlando di Lasso’s and Francis Poulenc’s “Videntes stellam Magi”\, and Tomás Luis de Victoria’s and Andrew Baldwin’s “O vos omnes”. Of course\, an exploration of motets wouldn’t be complete without some Johann Sebastian Bach\, and the choir will be only too happy to oblige with “Fürchte dich nicht” and “Komm\, Jesu\, Komm”. \nPolyphonic Voices is delighted to return to Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo for the first concert of this program on Saturday the 20th May\, and on the following Sunday 28th May will perform again at Australia’s oldest artists’ community\, Montsalvat. Founded in 1934\, Montsalvat is a collection of gorgeous old buildings situated on picturesque grounds in Eltham\, northeast of Melbourne\, and is home to various painters\, sculptors\, woodworkers\, luthiers\, and musicians.
