Acacia Quartet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Acacia Quartet is heading to Berlin in April and ahead of this exciting European debut, they present\u00a0a program of music by Mozart, Schubert, and the forgotten German\/Jewish composer Gunter Raphael (1903 – 1960).<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Founded in 2010 and comprising violinists Lisa Stewart and Myee Clohessy, violist Stefan Duwe and cellist Anna Martin-Scrase, Acacia Quartet has been invited by the Gunter Raphael Foundation in Germany where they will perform four concerts in Berlin and record three of Raphael’s string quartets.<\/p>\n

Acacia Quartet is known for its excellent performances, inventive programs and revival of forgotten works.\u00a0In this first concert in Acacia\u2019s 2017 Utzon Room Series, the ensemble will perform Raphael\u2019s String Quartet No 1 in e minor Op. 5<\/em> which was written when he was only 21. Premiered in 1934 by the Busch Quartet in Berlin, this performance is most likely the Australian premiere of this early work.<\/p>\n

To complement Raphael\u2019s early chamber work Acacia have paired it with one of Schubert’s ten early quartets, his joyful String Quartet No 15 in E flat major Op 125\/1 D87.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mozart\u2019s String Quartet in d Minor K421,<\/em>\u00a0takes up the second half of the concert. It is the second of the ten quartets dedicated to Haydn and the only one in a minor key. Written in 1783, the second movement was supposedly composed while his wife Constanze was in labour.<\/p>\n

Whilst in Berlin, Acacia will undertake a month of intense masterclasses, concerts and recording sessions. They will be performing several concerts of the string quartets before recording them. They plan to make the most of their time in Berlin to have masterclasses with members of the Artemis\u00a0and Orpheus Quartets.<\/p>\n
