Event Details
Music marks history in a unique and poignant way. Mozart’s legacy is epitomised in the Dissonance Quartet which is revered for its daring harmony that broke all the rules, as well as its soaring melodies and sense of humour. Ethel Smyth’s first string quartet displays epic vision that combines rhythmic angularity with deeply intelligent and sophisticated lyricism, no less groundbreaking than her inspired leadership of the suffragettes. Gordon Kerry’s legacy is already evident in ensuring the essence of 21st century Australia is chronicled through sound in his timbres and driving rhythms while drawing inspiration from ancient plainchant.
Featured non-Australian music: WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART String Quartet No. 19 in C major, K. 465 ‘Dissonance’; ETHEL SMYTH String Quartet in E minor
