The members of the Australian String Quartet are privileged to perform on a matched set of Guadagnini instruments handcrafted by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini between c.1743 -1784 in Turin and Piacenza, Italy.
These exquisite instruments were brought together through the vision of Ulrike Klein AO and are on loan to the ASQ for their exclusive use through the generosity of UKARIA.
