Australian String Quartet Provenance Tour
The Australian String Quartet travels the musical globe in its third national tour, with repertoire from Spain, Russia and the Czech Republic; music deeply rooted in the soil of the composers' native lands.
The concert program begins with Arriaga's String Quartet Number One; an exquisite work from the composer who is aptly nicknamed the 'Spanish Mozart'.
Following is Shostakovich's String Quartet Number Eight. Written in three days it is considered one of his most private bodies of work. He described it as 'an ideologically deficient quartet nobody needs... It is a pseudo-tragic quartet.'
In Smetana's first Quartet, the composer's life story unfolds alongside loving references to the joyous village polkas of his native Bohemia.
