Set against Victoria’s Southern Grampians, the Dunkeld Festival of Music has been presenting world-class chamber music since its inaugural program in 2004. During two consecutive three-day festivals, the Australian String Quartet is joined by pianist Andrea Lam and two lifetime members of the Goldner String Quartet, violinist Dimity Hall and cellist Julian Smiles. Concerts take place at the intimate Myers’ Library and Mt Sturgeon Woolshed, with pre-concert drinks, a picnic lunch and festival dinner at presenting partner, the acclaimed Royal Mail Hotel.
