Flinders Quartet is instantly recognisable as one of Australia’s most loved chamber music ensembles, entering their third decade with acknowledged musical skill and maturity. Their purpose is to challenge and champion the role of the string quartet in 21st century Australia, realised through performances, recording, education, and work with composers.
A marriage of musicians and culture matched with times past, present, and future to create a soundscape that is unexpectedly homogenous and extraordinarily beautiful. Dong Ma's virtuosity on the erhu is perfectly matched with Julian Yu's arrangement of Bach's Goldberg Variations, and together they create a mesmerizing performance that transcends time and cultural barriers. Yuin woman Brenda Gifford's heartfelt work "Dissipate" adds depth and meaning to the overall program, resulting in a strikingly successful musical fusion that will leave audiences in awe.
This very special concert program is the culmination of extensive creative development and represents a true collaboration between talented musicians from different cultural backgrounds. It is a remarkable celebration of diversity, creativity, and the unifying power of music
