Event Details
Formed in 2015, Affinity Quartet has become one of the leading forces in the chamber music scene. The quartet’s dynamic and inspired performances have been met with critical acclaim at home and overseas. Most recently, Affinity Quartet were awarded third prize in the 2022 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. The quartet will perform Schubert’s compelling ‘Death and the Maiden’ alongside the Australian premiere of new commissioned work by Australian composer and violist Matthew Laing. He has written of his work: In Perpetuum is inspired by David Whyte’s contemplation on the concept of maturity; that maturity is a choice of recognising past, present and future as indistinguishable, that maturity is each state serving the other so seamlessly that one is imperceptible from the other; and implicitly (as it serves in this work specifically) a continuous act of self-actualising recognition.
