One of Haydns most virtuosic and masterly quartets makes the perfect concert opener for this musical feast. We are delighted to perform for you a new work written for us by our close friend David Harris, an exciting Australian composer we have wanted to collaborate with for some time.



Schuberts final String Quartet is a colossus of the repertoire. Its immense power and great breadth will enthral you from beginning to end. The work is a titanic harmonic struggle between minor and major, darkness and light. It rewards listeners with some of the most profound music from the early Romantic period.

Schubert String Quartet no 15 in G major, op post 161, D. 887



Grainger Quartet is a great asset to Australian music exhibiting independence, bold programming and exceptional playing. Each player holds a personal long-standing passion for new music which culminates in the sensitive performance of new quartets. As such, Grainger is a friend of the composer and it is my immense pleasure to write for them.

The Britten impressed for the ardour displayed in the final Chacony, a sequence of variants on a ground bass interrupted by cadenzas that found ready exponents in the Grainger members for its humane rhetoric
