Details
Quartets quintets, and sextets… oh my!
Shostakovich’s profound Piano Quintet represents a period of writing where the young composer, who was then 34, was his most purely musical. The resulting work is an unusual yet unapologetic neo-classical piece that has since become the jewel in the crown of the 20th-century chamber music repertory.
Showcasing Shostakovich’s monumental Piano Quintet presented alongside Christopher Cerrone’s Nervous Systems and Australia’s own trailblazer Holly Harrison’s Daredevil commissioned by the Ensemble.
