Flinders Quartet: New Light

The final concert of the year for the Flinders Quartet shines a 'new light' on the quartet tradition. Beethoven’s String Quartet in E-flat major, Op.127 – the first of his groundbreaking late quartets – opens the program with majestic chords and profound emotional range, followed by Grażyna Bacewicz's Quartet No.3. Completing the program is a world premiere by Naomi Dodd, an Australian composer whose music demonstrates keen intelligence and natural affinity for the string quartet form. Together, these three works chart a course through innovation and tradition, affirming the vitality and diversity of the quartet repertoire today.
