A NOTE FROM JULIAN BURNSIDE AO, QC CHAIR OF THE FLINDERS QUARTET BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
I have always been drawn to string quartets as the epitome of great<br />
chamber music. The repertoire is some of the best in Western classical<br />
music which naturally leads to the fact that some of the best concerts<br />
I have been to have been given by string quartets. <strong>Flinders</strong> <strong>Quartet</strong><br />
has proven time and time again that they are greater than the sum<br />
of their parts, and with a collective vision for the role they play in<br />
Australia’s art music industry, have curated a year that epitomises<br />
them as an ensemble. I am very proud to be associated with a quartet<br />
that does so much for chamber music with such care, tenacity and<br />
creative ability, but most importantly, an ensemble that always plays<br />
sublimely well and with great musical integrity. Beethoven is always<br />
a highlight for me, but I am intrigued to learn more about Elizabeth<br />
Maconchy and her oeuvre. One of the joys of FQ is the perfect balance<br />
of the known and the unknown and <strong>2023</strong>’s <strong>season</strong> celebrates that<br />
vision brilliantly.<br />
