The Australian Haydn Ensemble, led by Artistic Director Skye McIntosh, is one of Australia’s leading historically informed chamber music ensembles. These talented musicians begin our season with two wonderful quartets from Haydn and Beethoven that morph effortlessly from the lofty to the lowbrow. Then Fanny Mendelssohn’s quartet, apparently the first ever composed by a woman, offers an elegant, if far from ladylike riposte.
Programme:
HAYDN String Quartet in B-flat major, Op.76 no.4 Sunrise
BEETHOVEN String Quartet in F major, Op.18 no.1
HENSEL (MENDELSSOHN, Fanny) String Quartet in E-flat major, H277
Artists:
Skye McIntosh (violin)
Matthew Greco (violin)
