We combine forces with our friends in Melbourne Chamber Orchestra to present a program that contrasts the rich sonority of the string orchestra with the raw intimacy of the string quartet.
Have you ever wondered what Franz Schubert might have produced had he lived in the 21st century and immersed himself in the world of rave and techno dance music? Australian composer Matthew Hindson poses this exact question in his electrifying fantasy on Schubert’s final string quartet, The Rave and the Nightingale.
