The 2025 Moonbird Festival opens with a stunning program for string quartet and guitar, featuring award winning Australian guitarist Andrew Blanch, recently returned from a sold out concert tour of the USA. Two evocative Australian guitar quintets, Anne Cawrse’s Imperfect Fourths and Iain Grandage’s Black Dogs, frame this program that beautifully combines bowed and plucked strings, including works by Edmund Finnis and Paul Wiancko. Arrive at 6.30pm for the Festival Welcome Party – drinks and snacks available for purchase.
