Acacia Quartet- Into Spring

Into Spring: Acacia Quartet in Concert

All Saints’ Cathedral | September 20 | 1:30pm

Join the acclaimed Acacia Quartet at All Saints’ Cathedral for Into Spring, a concert bridging centuries of string chamber repertoire. Set within the cathedral’s distinct architecture and natural acoustics, the performance showcases the ensemble's technical precision and inventive programming across three contrasting works.

The program opens with Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 76 No. 4 (‘Sunrise’), a work known for its clear, uplifting opening theme and bright energy. The ensemble then presents contemporary Australian composer Chantal Charody’s String Quartet No. 3 (‘The Devil’s Tiger’)—a striking, atmospheric composition written as a reflection on human conflict and peace. The concert concludes with Brahms’ String Quartet No. 1, bringing rich textures, dynamic contrast, and classical structure to the stage.

Moving from classical balance to modern reflection, Into Spring promises a memorable afternoon of music in a grand historic setting—an unmissable performance by a truly exceptional ensemble.

We are allowing Mitchell Conservatorium School Aged students FREE Entry to this event!
