THE SUNRISE

HAYDN String Quartets arranged by Vincenzo Gambaro as Clarinet Quartet No.1 in B flat major

MOZART String Quartet No.4 in C major, K.157

**BEETHOVEN Cavatina from String Quartet No.13 in E flat major, Op.130**

CRUSELL Clarinet Quartet in C minor, Op.4

A clarinet melody, rising like the sun from shimmering strings. Five of Australia’s most brilliant musicians. Works beloved and new from an age of discovery and emotion.

ARCO’s ‘The Sunrise’ takes in a sweep of classical quartets, including buoyant Mozart, melancholy Beethoven, turbulent Crusell and a sparkling 18th-century clarinet arrangement of Haydn’s ‘Sunrise’.

Hear the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra in the intimacy of chamber music, and meet musicians and instruments up close over Talk & Tea.

Bask in the luminous sonorities of rare historic clarinet, violin, viola and cello. Connect deeply with a panorama of emotions. Experience ‘The Sunrise.’
