Australian String Quartet in Concert with Genevieve Lacey
The acclaimed Australian String Quartet in concert with Genevieve Lacey at Melbourne Recital Centre, Tuesday 1 June at 7pm. The concert will feature a classic string quartet by Felix Mendelssohn and contemporary work by Pavel Fischer. Completing the program are works by Australian composers Elena Kats-Chernin and a brand-new work by Lachlan Skipworth, both pieces feature recorder virtuoso Genevieve Lacey. I'm very excited to be playing not one but two glorious Australian works with the wonderful musicians of the ASQ. Elena Kats-Chernin's Re-Inventions are deservedly loved by audiences ” they're infectiously joyous ” and we can't wait to premiere Lachlan Skipworth's hauntingly expressive quintet. Being able to perform this gorgeous program in both Perth, Lachlan's hometown, and Melbourne, my hometown, only makes it even more special. Genevieve Lacey, guest artist.
