Quartz – Schubert's Cello Quintet
Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre & Quartz
Details
Soaring tunes and rollicking energy.
Acclaimed Melbourne string quartet Quartz unites violinists Kathryn Taylor and Philippa West, violist Merewyn Bramble, and cellist Zoe Wallace in refreshing concerts featuring classical and contemporary repertoire. Collaborating with sought-after Australian artists, Quartz’s performances are a confluence of Australian musical talent and world-class technique. Their exciting yet sensitive interpretations of great masterpieces of the string quartet repertoire are a delight to hear and much loved by audiences.
Performing Schubert’s String Quintet in C, D.956, this masterpiece stands as one of the pinnacles in the chamber music repertoire and is regarded as one of the composer’s finest works. Written just two months before his death, Schubert’s final chamber work takes listeners on a journey filled with beautiful soaring tunes and rollicking energy, perfectly highlighting the technical prowess of all five musicians. Joined by guest cellist Rachael Tobin, (Associate Principal Cello, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra), Tobin adds depth and richness to the ensemble, amplifying the quintet’s potency at the bass end.
