About Affinity Quartet

Affinity Quartet represents the next generation of Australia’s chamber music stars. The Quartet developed its craft in Europe to critical acclaim. It brings home an inspired approach to music-making, matched by its adventurous spirit as a string quartet for and of today.

About the concert

Following their celebrated U.K. performances together, Affinity Quartet and mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean continue their thrilling exploration of musical treasures for string quartet and voice. Ravishing beauty and drama flows through masterworks spanning three centuries. The artists’ engaging and versatile musicianship will be on full display throughout: from the romanticism of Schubert and Brahms’s portrait of Shakespeare’s Ophelia to 21st-century works by Caroline Shaw and Matthew Laing.
