"....it was exceptional musicality, supported by abundant energy in a demanding program, and delivered with intensity, precision and incredible teamwork.
These four young men have taken the string quartet configuration, given it better than a good shake, and thrown the boundaries away. Their performance was nothing short of brilliant, delivering an edge-of-the-seat experience for the audience. It was, without doubt, a highlight of the festival.”
- Limelight magazine, June 2022 (live review, Sunshine Coast Chamber Music Festival)

About the Artists
The Orava Quartet has been hailed by Limelight magazine as “the most exciting young quartet on the block” and predicted by The Australian to become “one of Australia’s proudest cultural exports.” Known for their genuinely thrilling performances, the Quartet – brothers Daniel and Karol Kowalik (violin and cello), David Dalseno (violin) and Thomas Chawner (violist) - bring their unique sound and breathtaking intensity to both the classics and lesser-known jewels of the string quartet canon.
