ABOUT THE ALMA MOODIE QUARTET

The Alma Moodie Quartet brings together some of Australia's leading string soloists: Kristian Winther, Anna da Silva Chen (violins), James Wannan (viola) and Miles Mullins-Chivers (cello) to perform:

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - String Quartet No. 1 in D major

Johannes Brahms - Clarinet Quintet in B minor (Clarinetist Olivia Hans-Rosenbaum )

Named after the remarkable Australian violinist of the early 20th century, the Alma Moodie Quartet shares the dedication to the music their namesake championed, from Beethoven and Mozart to the neglected music of the early twentieth century.

The Quartet enjoys performing at some of Australia's most prestigious venues, including the Canberra International Music Festival, the Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival, Hayllar's Beethoven Festival, the Hayes St Studio series, Mesh, Elder Hall, and various regional centres. Recent season

Highlights include Musica Viva's Morning Concerts and outdoor concert series at Barangaroo, the Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival, Phoenix Central Park's Church series, their debut at the Melbourne Recital Centre, and their own series in Canberra, with guest artists Daniel de Borah, Edward Neeman, and Olivia Hans-Rosenbaum.
