2025 SEASON
Flinders Quartet is 25! Surely it was only yesterday that four twenty-something-year-olds were cramming into Bill Hennessy’s room at the University of Melbourne at 8am on a Wednesday morning? (The golden rule for an 8am session was don’t be late.) Today we still focus on one bar for an inordinate amount of time as we question every little marking on the page to unearth the composer’s innermost thoughts, but we know now that the impact and importance of what we do goes far beyond the dots on the page.
Over 25 years, each member of the quartet has left an indelible mark and our identity is made up of those countless hours in the practice room; the conversations just before going on stage or in rehearsal breaks, on road trips, national tours or overseas tours; recordings; premieres; mentoring; as well as the laughter and tears shared as a part of the vulnerability required to delve deep into one’s artistic being.
Together, we have crafted a 25th anniversary season that will nurture our sense of identity, allow a deep immersion into the overwhelmingly glorious sound that a string quartet can create, and challenge us (and you!) to find beauty in unexpected places.
