Founded in 2010 by four friends with a passion for chamber music, the Acacia Quartet has quickly won great respect for their programs which often couple established repertoire with the unorthodox.
Acacia has recorded twelve albums, with ‘Blue Silence’ earning a nomination for an APRA-AMCOS Art Music ‘Award for Excellence’. Acacia’s engagements include the Sydney Opera House, City Recital Hall Sydney, and Melbourne Recital Hall, as well as extensive touring internationally.
This program will feature Peter Tchaikovsky - String Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op. 11, Dmitri Shostakovich - Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 57 with RCM pianist Hamish Tait as well as a surprise piece by a contemporary Australian composer.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
