Presented by the Australian String Quartet
Voyager
An expedition to the outer limits of the string quartet.
Garth Knox's Satellites opens Voyager with a kaleidoscopic exploration of sound and texture that expands the sonic possibilities of the string quartet. Bartók's arresting String Quartet No.4, a tour de force of rhythmic energy, then takes you to a playground of Hungarian folk influences and raw emotion.
Beethoven's monumental String Quartet in B-flat, Op.130, then unfolds with lyricism and grandeur, before concluding with the awe-inspiring Grosse Fuge, a work of uncompromising power that pushs the boundaries of musical form.
The music of Voyager charts a radiant course through beauty, complexity and boundary-breaking innovation.
Duration: 2 hours (incl. interval). Please note, running times are approximate and subject to change.
