About the event
Featuring two of Australia's finest cellists, Rachel Siu and Paul Ghica, along with violinists Emma Jardine and Katherine Lukey, and violist Tobias Breider, this program concludes the festival with an intimate and dramatic performance.
Programme:
Brahms: Quintet in F minor Op.34
Schubert: String Quintet in C major D956
Brahms' Piano Quintet in F minor was originally scored for two cellos, then destroyed by the composer and rewritten for piano and strings. Painstakingly recreated by a musicologist, this will be Australia's first public performance of the original two-cello version of Brahms Quintet in F minor.
Franz Schubert's final piece of chamber music, String Quintet in C major, is widely regarded as one of the greatest chamber works ever composed.
