Ensemble Q Australia continues its concert series with a program of striking contrasts and expressive power.
Béla Bartók’s Contrasts lights the fuse: a virtuosic trio for clarinet, violin and piano that draws on Hungarian and Romanian folk impulses - raw, playful and rhythmically unpredictable. Margaret Sutherland’s Nocturne shifts the lens inward, its quiet shimmer and suspended lines revealing a composer of striking subtlety, portrayed exquisitely by violinist Adam Chalabi. Brahms’ Piano Quartet in C minor Op. 60, is an emotionally charged and deeply romantic work whose sombre beauty and soaring lyricism echo his lifelong, unspoken love for Clara Schumann.
Featuring Ensemble Q Australia musicians at their peak - Daniel de Borah, Paul Dean, Adam Chalabi, Benjamin Roskams and Trish Dean.
