Phoenix Collective Debuts At The Sydney Opera House
March 2 @ 3:00 pm
Phoenix Collective debuts at the Sydney Opera House with a diverse program of quintessential chamber music masterpieces combined with classics of the future.
One of the most versatile and dynamic ensembles working in Australia today, Phoenix Collective comprises Artistic Director and violin Dan Russell, violinist Pip Thompson, violist Ella Brinch and cellist Andrew Wilson. The ensemble is known for its eclectic and adventurous programming, effortlessly interweaving string quartet classics with contemporary and popular genres.
The timeless beauty of Mozart’s String Quartet no 4 and Shostakovich’s powerful String Quartet no 3 find their match in a commission from Australian composer Emma Greenhill (world premiere) and the effervescent music of rockstar Italian
cellist, Giovanni Sollima.
Launched by Charmian Gadd at the Crossroads Festival, The Phoenix Collective Quartet is a premier string quartet performing in Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, the Central Coast and regional NSW. Its members come from the ranks of national and international orchestras such as Opera Australia Orchestra, Canberra Symphony, Sydney Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, Kammer Philharmonie Köln, Boston Symphony, and Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
