This concert celebrates the joy of sound. Janáček’s String Quartet No. 2 Intimate Letters was originally written for the unique sound of the viola d’amore; we sample that version, together with a performance featuring the viola. Multi-instrumentalist Garth Knox, whom Harrington reveres for his approach to music making, is our guide. He’ll give us a glimpse into the way that he conceives sound, and duet with Chloë Sobek on the violone (a Renaissance double bass) and Christopher Cartlidge (violist of the Australian String Quartet).
