Australian String Quartet: Voyager
29 October @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEDT

Garth Knox’s Satellites opens Voyager with a kaleidoscopic exploration of sound and texture that expands the sonic possibilities of the string quartet. Bartók’s arresting String Quartet No.4, a tour de force of rhythmic energy, then takes you to a playground of Hungarian folk influences and raw emotion.
Beethoven’s monumental String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op.130, then unfolds with lyricism and grandeur, before concluding with the awe-inspiring Grosse Fuge, a work of uncompromising power that pushes the boundaries of musical form.
The music of Voyager charts a radiant course through beauty, complexity and boundary-breaking innovation.
