One of the most versatile and dynamic ensembles working in Australia today, Phoenix Collective are known for their eclectic and adventurous programming, effortlessly interweaving string quartet classics with contemporary and popular genres.
This quartet has been on the Braidwood Concert Series radar for a couple of years now and we're so delighted that they are coming to perform in Braidwood. The sound quality of Phoenix has been upped recently with the purchase of a special violin that artistic director Dan Russell acquired while in England, a Carlo Antonio Testore violin from c1730 in all its glory.
This will be an absolute treat and not to be missed! For their Braidwood debut, Phoenix Collective presents a characteristically diverse program featuring quintessential chamber music masterpieces combined with classics of the future. The timeless beauty of Mozart’s String Quartet no four and Shostakovich’s powerful String Quartet no three find their match in a commission from Australian up-and-comer Emma Greenhill and the effervescent music of rockstar Italian cellist, Giovanni Sollima.
