Enjoy the beauty of Haydn’s string quartets in the superb acoustic surrounds of the Collins St Baptist Church.
Bringing together four of Australia’s premiere chamber music ensembles, this program is a celebration of the string quartet in all its forms, from Haydn’s most exquisite compositions through to the great works of the composers who followed him—Hummel, Shostakovich, Ross Edwards and more.
With recitals starting at 6pm and running only an hour, this series makes for an excellent late– afternoon musical taster—the ideal way to whet your appetite before moving on to the Festival’s evening program.
