Named after the picturesque Huon region of southern Tasmania, the Huon Quartet has become a much loved part of Tasmania’s musical fabric. Since their formation in late 2012, they have performed concerts across Tasmania, broadcast on ABC Classic FM Sunday Live and recorded a CD of Debussy and Haydn String Quartets in collaboration with Virtuosi Tasmania. The Huon Quartet also run a successful chamber music series in their hometown of Hobart. Varied professional experiences have added to their great musical and personal rapport. First violinist Elinor Lea, currently Associate Concertmaster of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, was a member of the Australian String Quartet for nine years and Jane Tallon was co-ordinator of Chamber Music and Lecturer at the VCA School of Music for ten years. Rohana O’Malley (Violin) and Douglas Coghill (Viola) are both graduates from ANAM (the prestigious Australian National Academy of Music) and are now Hobart-based, playing in the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. The Huon Quartet’s playing has been described as “…thrillingly suspenseful…painful in its beauty…with fantastic textural contrasts” (Limelight Magazine, February, 2015). Most recently, the quartet performed as part of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra’s “Beethoven Celebration” in the Hobart Town Hall.
