About the Artists
Flinders Quartet is instantly recognisable as one of Australia’s most loved chamber music ensembles. A quartet for the twenty-first century, the ensemble approaches its third decade with acknowledged musical skill and maturity, presenting dynamic and stirring performances of a full spectrum of repertoire.
Programme Notes
The Flinders Quartet is joined by Vatche Jambazian (guest piano) to present Mozart’s sparkling lyrical piano concerto, K414. The Quartet open the concert with the final work in Haydn’s landmark Opus 20, which has his hallmark bright, optimistic character, and conclude with the first of Brahms’ published string quartets, the intense, characteristically richly textured Opus 51 no 1.
