Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre & Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM)
Mostly Mozart – Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven
The musical leaders of tomorrow from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) join forces with the esteemed Australian String Quartet for a morning of stunning music.
Full of musical wit and unexpected twists, Haydn’s String Quartet Op.33 No.6 perfectly illustrates why he is celebrated as the ‘father of the string quartet’. Overflowing with joy and charm, this genre-defining piece has captivated audiences since its premiere in 1781.
Written as a tribute to Haydn, Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor ventures into darker emotional territory. With its dramatic intensity and exquisite interplay between instruments, this work unfolds as a musical conversation of remarkable depth.
The program culminates in a celebration of music history and collaboration, as the Australian String Quartet joins their ANAM contemporaries for Beethoven’s monumental Große Fuge. Considered ahead of its time, this work—described as one of the most thrilling adventures in music—is a powerful finale showcasing the synergy between established and emerging musical stars.
