Flinders Quartet - 2020 Concert Series


“Since 2000, Flinders Quartet has been championing the music for string quartet and its continuing development. We’ve met and worked with some incredible people along the way, who have all played a vital role in shaping FQ and its place in Australia’s cultural life. 2020 marks our 20th birthday, a significant milestone and a springboard to a thriving future we look forward to sharing with you. We want to take a moment to say one HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us, come to our concerts, and loves string quartets as much as we do.

We do hope you enjoy this 20th anniversary brochure as we celebrate some of our favourite moments and projects and look toward exciting times ahead. The quartet will continue to be inspired by the great masterworks of the repertoire, as well as bringing new commissions to life and uncovering hidden gems from the great composers whose voices are yet to be heard.

String quartets are uniquely magical. The form has inspired some of the best music from composers and continues to do so. Thank you for ensuring the future of our special art form through your presence and support. We look forward to saying hello and chatting all things ‘string quartet’ at one of our concerts or events in 2020. There is certainly a lot to choose from!”
