                                    a reflection on death and all that comes

There’s simply nothing like the sound of a       TOWER Copperwave
great brass quintet – bold, sparkling, and
with the air-shaking splendour of perfectly
tuned harmonics. With more than 15 years
of experience playing together in different
ensembles, the five virtuosi of the Australian
Brass Quintet bring finesse and sensitivity
in equal measure to every concert they
play. Their program is a collage of colourful
dances, songs and fanfares from around
the world, culminating in Joan Tower’s
glistening Copperwave.

Concluding the 2018 season is the ever-    Program
popular Goldner String Quartet, with a     SHOSTAKOVICH String Quartet no 1
program exploring the first quartets of    WEBERN Langsamer Satz
Shostakovich, Webern and Prokofiev.        PROKOFIEV String Quartet no 1
Approaching their 25th anniversary in
2020, Australia’s premier string quartet
remains in demand internationally
as performers and recording artists.
With no changes to their line-up since
their inception in 1995, the Goldners
bring unmatched musical intuition to
every phrase. It’s this closeness that
makes them so appealing to watch in
performance – every motion and every
glance appears in the music as well.
