Melbourne Festival welcomes
some of the world’s foremost
chamber ensembles for Quartets
at Sunset, a spellbinding series of
twilight performances staged in the
acoustically sublime surrounds of
the Collins Street Baptist Church.
Following its inaugural 2013
season, this year sees the Quartets
at Sunset program take on the
string quartet in all its forms, from
Haydn’s earliest arrangements
through to the opuses of Mozart,
Shostakovich, Bartók and
others, along with contemporary
deconstructions and even a
selection of new and rarely heard
compositions from Australia and
abroad.
Wildly diverse and consummately
performed, Quartets at Sunset is
an intoxicating, not-to-be-missed
showcase of the past, present and
future of chamber music.
