Georgia Fields (VIC) with Vero String Quartet at Church St Studios, Sydney
Event description
Singer-songwriter and sonic shapeshifter Georgia Fields presents her String Theory National Tour 2025.
In an exciting collision of worlds, Georgia will collaborate with a different string quartet in each city, over 9 shows. This Sydney/Gadigal concert will feature the Vero String Quartet, led by acclaimed contemporary violinist Veronique Serret.
Together they will perform 'strings' versions of Georgia's own songs, plus a couple of strikingly reimagined covers. Equal parts elegant and ethereal, this unique collaboration blurs the lines between evocative chamber-folk and playful art-pop. Georgia also integrates live looping with extended techniques from the string players, pushing the boundaries of both her voice, and instruments themselves.
This is a rare opportunity to see one of Naarm/Melbourne's most innovative singer-songwriters on stage with some of Sydney's finest chamber musicians.
