MEDIA & REVIEWS
CLASSIC MELBOURNE, July 2020
Review of premiere performance of Katy Abbott’s “Hidden Thoughts II: Return to Sender”
“The Quartet played with immense sensitivity, totally immersed in Abbott’s depiction of a heart-wrenching situation. Actor Richard Piper and mezzo-soprano Dimity Shepherd were no less committed and compelling as they revealed heartfelt messages sent to detainees.”
THE AGE, July 2020
Review of premiere performance of Katy Abbott’s “Hidden Thoughts II: Return to Sender”
”In delivering what is both a disquieting piece of social activism as well as a moving affirmation of human solidarity, Abbott was blessed with performers perfectly in tune with her vision. The Flinders Quartet (for whom this work was written) engaged sensitively with singer Dimity Shepherd and narrator Richard Piper, both of whom made clarity and sincerity their hallmark.”
SYDNEY ARTS GUIDE, March 2020
”Flinders Quartet work so beautifully together making high class choices in their interpretations. This was an outstanding concert.”
