About Affinity Quartet:

Award-winning performances, international accolades and deep commitment to the string quartet as a living art form testify to Affinity Quartet’s place as a leading Australian string quartet, both at home and abroad. ‘Captivating playing’ (Süddeutsche Zeitung), ‘flawless ensemble’ (Limelight Magazine), ‘highly committed’ (The Age), and ‘first class string playing’ (Classic Melbourne), Affinity’s artistry is synonymous with excellence in chamber music. Since its inauguration in 2015, Affinity Quartet has curated imaginative approaches to established string repertoire, while embracing and promoting new works by Australian composers. As a not-for-profit organisation based in Melbourne, AQ takes Australian chamber music to a wide range of audiences and shines a bright light on its future. Affinity’s 2025 invitations include the Adelaide Festival and some of Europe’s most prestigious classical music festivals.
