Dvorák String Quintet | Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra

Benjamin Britten wrote an intimate symphony for strings, and it is a beautiful match for the countryside Woolmers Estate. After you stroll through the rose garden and explore the historic cottages on the grounds of this old Longford farm, you will sink into your seat to hear Britten’s Simple Symphony.

The English composer named each movement after the way his music feels, from its Playful Pizzicato to the Sentimental Sarabande, Boisterous Bourrée and Frolicsome Finale. Five of our exceptional string players will welcome you into this colourful musical experience.

They will then perform Dvořák’s charismatic string quintet. He composed this chamber music in 1875, making it a few decades younger than the UNESCO World Heritage Site at which you will hear it.

This concert is part of our Music at Woolmers Series.
