Event details
Australian Chamber Orchestra (Princeton University Concerts)
Schubert’s single movement of the Quartettsatz opens a concert of vibrant musical landscapes—ranging from the vast Australian geographies that inspired John Luther Adams’ latest work for the ensemble, to the soaring heights of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ shimmering skylark, and the dreamlike beauty of Fanny Mendelssohn’s virtuosic String Quartet. Offering a full chamber orchestra’s exhilaratingly fresh take on string quartet repertoire is a perfect reflection of the intrepid and collaborative spirit that has garnered the Australian Chamber Orchestra international acclaim and made it a fan favorite of our audiences.
This event is presented by Princeton University Concerts as part of the Concert Classics series, with audience seated onstage for a one hour program. Click here for full event listing and tickets.
