The Doric String Quartet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hailed by The Times as \u2018superb\u2019, the Doric String Quartet is undertaking its first national tour for Musica Viva pairing two programs of Haydn, Schubert and Beethoven with a brand-new work by Australian star composer Brett Dean.<\/p>\n

A Doric column, thanks to the ancient Greeks, is a simple, perfect thing. It makes its fluted way directly into the floor; no fancy stuff, only a sublime balance of proportion.\u00a0The same can be said for the Doric Quartet which comprises violinists Alex Redington and\u00a0Ying Xue,\u00a0H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Cl\u00e9ment, viola and\u00a0John Myerscough cello.<\/p>\n

This year, the ensemble celebrates its twenty-first birthday.\u00a0Founded in 1998, the Doric Quartet has established itself as the leading British string quartet of its generation. They perform regularly in Europe\u2019s major concert halls and have close ties with the Wigmore Hall.<\/p>\n

This is their first national tour of Australia after previous appearances at the Huntington and Musica Viva Festivals.\u00a0On this visit, Program 1 features music by Haydn and\u00a0Schubert; program 2 offers music by Haydn\u00a0and Beethoven. The new piece by Brett Dean, his third quartet sub-titled Hidden Agendas,<\/em> sits confidently and aptly beside these other masters.<\/p>\n

Commissioned through Musica Viva Australia in celebration of the Melbourne Recital Centre\u2019s tenth anniversary, Hidden Agendas is a multi-national collaboration with support from Ulrike Klein AO, Edinburgh International Festival, Konzerthaus Berlin, Stichting Strijkkwartet Bi\u00ebnnale Amsterdam, Carnegie Hall, and West Cork Chamber Music Festival.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s bond with Brett goes back to the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition of 2007.\u00a0Approaching the group\u2019s big anniversary, violist\u00a0H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Cl\u00e9ment reflects on the relevance of quartet music in these times.\u00a0\u2018It requires a lot of time to appreciate it. It\u2019s very intimate…that\u2019s why it remains so special. And especially nowadays, when videos on YouTube have to be less than one minute long if you want people to look at them, I think it\u2019s crucial.\u2019<\/p>\n
