Making its first appearance in the International Concert Season, the Ensō String Quartet bring sparkling sonorities and joyous teamwork to the stage.

The Ensō acknowledges two of the cornerstones of a quartet’s life in Beethoven’s beloved ‘Harp’ Quartet, and in Ravel’s amazing, and only, foray into the form. In keeping with the group’s forward-looking nature, there is also a brand-new work written just for them, by revered Australian composer Brenton Broadstock AM.

Approx. 120 minutes including a 20 minute interval.
