Australian National Academy of Music: Sacred: Seven Last Words
2 April @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm AEDT

Based in Melbourne, and originally comprising of musicians who all once graced the halls of ANAM, Affinity Quartet have blazed their own trail internationally. They make their return to ANAM after representing Australia at Rheingau Music Festival with acclaimed violist, composer and former ANAM Artistic Director, Brett Dean, where they performed string quartet compositions by both Dean and Haydn.
In this unique Chapel concert, they’ll return to Haydn, the widely acknowledged father of string quartet music, and apply their craft to the meditative sections of Seven Last Words, alongside current ANAM musicians.
This concert has an afternoon and an evening performance, offering you the opportunity to experience this sacred work in two contrasting lights.
