Ensemble Q: The Mendelssohns
8 March @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm AEST

Anne Cawrse’s Sanctuary for violin and cello opens our season in perfect harmony with the landscape of the lakes. It is gentle, intimate and full of the sounds of the birds that you will spy from the comfort of your seats – the most fitting tribute to our favourite venue.
Then indulge in one of the most loved piano trios of all time, the virtuosic and deeply romantic piano trio in D minor by Felix Mendelssohn, followed by his sister’s absolutely exquisite string quartet, the quartet in E flat major by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel.
