FQ COMPOSER PROGRAMS EMERGE Providing composers with a year-long program of string quartet score study, workshops, and development, culminating in a 6-minute piece performed and filmed by Flinders Quartet and promoted on FQ Digital Free alongside ongoing industry advocacy. ASCEND Providing composers with a career leveraging opportunity to write a 12-minute piece for string quartet which is workshopped, developed, performed, filmed and studio recorded by Flinders Quartet and promoted on FQ Digital Free alongside ongoing industry advocacy. The overwhelming success of our Composer Development Program has inspired us to offer a more tailored approach to the development of string quartet composition. It is our favourite time of year, getting to know composers and their music, and crafting sounds that represent Australia in the 21st century. In 2023, we embark on our first Emerge program. Up to five composers have been chosen to immerse themselves in string quartet scores and write a new work for us. At the time of printing, we were in the selection process, but by now you should be able to read all about the participants on our website. Details about the live and on-demand digital performances can be found at: flindersquartet.com/composer PAST FQ COMPOSER PROGRAM PARTICIPANT SUCCESS STORIES MATTHEW LAING Matt has received significant commissions from Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, Musica Viva Australia and Affinity Quartet.
