Beethoven is recognised as a titan in the history of the string quartet and his music will be showcased by the Phoenix Collective Quartet (PCQ) at Kincumber on November 17.
Although not always appreciated by his contemporaries, Beethoven’s string quartets now represent the pinnacle of composition in the genre.
PCQ will pair his turbulent Serioso quartet with the serene, meditative work of Latvian composer Peteris Vasks.
Dance music by the legendary French electro-pop duo Daft Punk will add a modern twist to the diverse program.
Artistic Director Dan Russell has recently returned from London on a quest to find a violin.
After playing some 120-plus violins he has returned with an exquisite c1730 Carlo Antonio Testore violin, to be featured in the Kincumber concert.
The concert will be at 2pm on Sunday November 17, at the Anglican Community Church, 167 Avoca Dr, Kincumber.
