Our 2019 Australian String Quartet National Season celebrates the much-loved quartets of Debussy, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn and Sibelius, explores the minds of left-of-centre thinkers Charles Ives and Helena Winkelman, and premieres brand-new works by leading Australian composers Kate Moore and Nigel Westlake.
