The Australian String Quartet extends a heartfelt thank you to Michael and Christine Hill for their generous hospitality at the Lodge at The Hills. Our appreciation also extends to Gary and Janet Tilsley for their vital support and hospitality at Lordens Penthouse (lordens. co.nz) as well as the greater community in Queenstown, Arrowtown and Lake Hayes for welcoming us to this superb location and allowing us to present our inaugural New Zealand Weekend of Music.

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET For over 30 years, the Australian String Quartet (ASQ) has created unforgettable string quartet performances for national and international audiences. Dedicated to musical excellence with a distinctly Australian flavour, the ASQ’s purpose is to create chemistry and amplify intimacy through experiences that connect people with string quartet music.

From our home base at the University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, we reach out across Australia and the world to engage people with an outstanding program of performances, workshops, commissions and education projects.

Our distinct sound is enhanced by a matched set of 18th century Guadagnini instruments, handcrafted by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini between c.1743 and 1784 in Turin and Piacenza, Italy. These

precious instruments are on loan to the ASQ for their exclusive use through the generosity of UKARIA. Masterworks by Beethoven, Dutilleux, Dvořák, Janáček and Mozart, alongside world premieres of Australian composers Anne Cawrse and Ross Edwards, make up our three major National Tours in 2020.

We are also excited to be touring with acclaimed pianist Konstantin Shamray.

Looking beyond, our ground-breaking Close Quarters series continues with more compelling partnerships, and our regional festivals travel again to Dunkeld and Margaret River, and for the very first time, to the shire of Dungog in New South Wales.

Also, we are thrilled to join creative forces with Sydney Dance Company for a brand new work, and in the 250th year since the great composer’s birth, Beethoven is celebrated with a series of special events across the country.

At home in South Australia, we continue our work as Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Adelaide’s Elder Conservatorium of Music with education projects and performances as part of the Elder Hall Lunchtime Concert series, and Mornings at UKARIA will continue to bring the sounds of the string quartet to the beautiful landscape of the Adelaide Hills.
