Live at Lunch – Acacia Does A New Take On Vivaldi

Acacia4

Sydney’s avant-garde string ensemble, the Acacia Quartet, will present an intimate take on one of  the world’s best-loved Baroque piece in Vivaldi Four Seasons and a Goldfinch – the third concert of popular Live at Lunch series at The Concourse in Chatswood. 

Known for coupling conventional repertoire with the unorthodox, the Acacia Quartet will perform the piece with basso continuo, followed by Vivaldi’s Concerto for Flute in D RV 428, Il Cardellino (The Goldfinch) and French Renaissance Dances.

The concert will also feature violinist Lisa Stewart and Live at Lunch Artistic Director, flautist Jane Rutter. 

Formed in 2010, the Acacia Quartet comprises violinists Lisa Stewart and Myee Clohessy, violist Stefan Duwe and cellist Anna Martin-Scrase, who all enjoy diverse careers playing in orchestras and chamber ensembles across the world. The Acacia Quartet has received high acclaim for their inventive programming and in 2013 was nominated for both ARIA and APRA Arts Music Awards for Excellence. 

Audience members can join Jane and guest artists for lunch after each concert. To register, visit The Concourse Box Office or theconcourse.com.au 

Tickets: Adults $28; Concession/Child $25
