The Australian String Quartet commences its 2010 Season with Flight: a program of emotionally charged compositions and superb musicianship, featuring guest pianist Lucinda Collins. National tour opens at Adelaide Festival on 10 March 2010


HAYDN String Quartet op.33 no.3 The Bird
PAUL STANHOPE* String Quartet no.1
BRAHMS Piano Quintet in f minor op.34
*Commission for Musica Viva Australia by Julia Hickman Potter, in honour of Peter Hickman's sixtieth birthday

Following rave reviews in 2009, the Australian String Quartet (ASQ), featuring violinists Sophie Rowell, Anne Horton, violist Sally Boud and cellist Rachel Johnston, kicks off its 2010 program in March with a national tour entitled Flight with performances in Adelaide (10 March), Perth (15 March), Sydney (18 March), Brisbane (24 March) and Melbourne (26 March).

Haydn’s String Quartet op.33 no.3 The Bird opens this concert with sparkling clarity; bird-like motifs wittily appear in each movement giving this quartet its endearing nickname. This is followed by the atmospheric first String Quartet no.1 from one of Australia’s most exciting composers, Paul Stanhope, a work which also marks ASQ’s continued dedication to Australian music and composers.

Closing this concert will be Brahms’ passionate, turbulent Piano Quintet in f minor op.34. Guest artist Adelaide-based pianist Lucinda Collins joins the Quartet performing a work that the composer revised several times before forging its final dark, brilliant form.
