The Acacia Quartet is one of the nation’s most prominent and applauded string ensembles—the Australian classical music equivalent of Oasis or Taylor Swift.

You can enjoy listening to the Acacias playing on the radio or your CD. But sitting up close to them playing live in a great chamber music venue like our Courtroom is a different and indescribably rewarding experience. It transports you to another place.

Pictured above: the quartet acknowledges the sustained applause that followed the final encore at their April 2024 performance in the Courtroom. This was a superb concert. Their instruments hummed, thrummed, soared and dived as the four musicians played with feeling, joy, precision and mutual understanding. The audience was delighted and entranced.

You can expect the same heights of enjoyment and satisfaction when the Acacias make their welcome return to Gunning at 3 pm on Sunday, 17 August. Their bottler of a program will feature:

Joseph Haydn - SQ Op. 77/1
Moya Henderson - 'Kudikynah Cave'
Antonin Dvorak - SQ 12, Op. 96 ‘American’

Enquiries are welcome on 0429 906 834 or mailto:gunningfocusgroup@gmail.com

The 3 pm start gives you heaps of time for pre-concert dining and browsing Gunning’s art, craft, and antique outlets. You can read more about the historic village of Gunning and its attractions at https://gunningfocusgroup.com/eat-see-and-do-in-gunning/.

If you can’t get to our Gunning concert, you could still catch the same Acacia Quartet performance at the Hume Conservatorium in Goulburn the day before at 3 pm on Saturday, 16 August. You can find more details at https://humecon.nsw.edu.au/. So excellent will these concerts be, Acacia devotees might want to immerse themselves in both. Just tell us as you enter the Courtroom if you are backing up from the Goulburn event to secure a half-price ticket.
