Flinders Quartet Ascend Program 2022 - Successful applicant
I am thrilled and excited to have 2 movements from my new String Quartet "Anima" chosen as part of Flinders Quartet Ascend program 2022. For information about the program, workshop, and recorded concert, go to:
String Quartet "Anima" 2022.
Once complete, the Quartet will be in 5 movements.
Movement I and III has been workshopped, recorded and performed by Flinders Quartet in July 2022.
Movement I "Chasing Moths" Follows the highly animated afternoon of a Tasmanian Spotted Tail Quoll hunting for an evening meal. The movement captures the skittish nature of this delightful creature.
Performers: Flinders Quartet
Recording: Collins St Baptist Church Melbourne
Producer and Recording Engineer: Tom Grubb
Movement III "Whales Lament" Echos of the Southern Right Whale, harking back to the mid 1800's off the coast of Bruny Island. The Island was home to a number of whaling stations for the purpose of extracting whale oil. The lament is a haunting reminder of the slaughter of these majestic animals.
