This is paired\u00a0with the unbearable beauty of Beethoven\u2019s<em> String Quartet Op 132,<\/em> which\u00a0was written as a \u2018holy song of thanksgiving from a convalescent\u2019\u00a0following the composer\u2019s severe illness. Whether sharing\u00a0in Ligeti\u2019s darkness or being uplifted by Beethoven, this programme promises to move.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future, Paul Stanhope\u2019s\u00a0third string quartet, commissioned for the Goldners by the\u00a0audience of the Huntington Estate Music Festival, has its first hearing\u00a0outside the Mudgee-based festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Video designer Sean Bacon brings his imagination and creativity to work with the string quartet,\u00a0enhancing this celebratory story of four remarkable musicians.<\/p>\n<p>The programme: Ligeti &#8211;\u00a0<em>String Quartet no 1 M\u00e9tamorphoses nocturnes\/ <\/em>Stanhope\u00a0<em>String Quartet no 3, c<\/em>ommissioned for Musica Viva Australia by Huntington Estate\u00a0and friends\/ Beethoven\u00a0<em>String Quartet no 15 in A Minor, op 132.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Goldner String Quartet: Dene Olding, violin\/ Dimity Hall, violin\/ Irina Morozova, viola\/Julian Smiles, &#8216;cello.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commemorating its 20th anniversary this year, the Goldner String Quartet, under the auspices of Musica Viva begins a national tour which brings&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"sls_format":[],"class_list":["post-18661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shows"],"acf":{"deck":"","is_featured":false,"media_type":"standard","audio_embed":"","video_url":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
