- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 am – Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: A brilliant combination of British Baroque imagination and modern mastery

The Australian String Quartet charts a vibrant journey through British music, culminating in one of Benjamin Britten’s greatest creations.

Written in 1945 to honour the 250th anniversary of Purcell’s death, Britten’s String Quartet No. 2 stands as a monumental reflection on legacy, renewal and artistic conviction in the aftermath of war. Its spacious first movement unfolds with searching clarity, the vivid central Vivace drives forward with razor sharp rhythmic energy, and the vast closing ‘Chacony’ offers a glowing homage to Purcell’s ground bass traditions. Bold, architectural and deeply expressive, it is a summit of Britten’s chamber writing.
