AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

The acclaimed Australian String
Quartet take you behind the stage
curtain, offering a rare glimpse into
the rehearsal process – a fly-onthe-wall view of the artistry behind
turning a never-before-seen piece
of sheet music into a full recital.
Haydn Unpicked sees the Australian
String Quartet take a Haydn
piece from first glance to first
performance, before your very eyes.
One of the breakout successes
of last year’s program, Haydn
Unpicked is part public rehearsal
and part armchair masterclass
– a fascinating opportunity to
witness the awe-inspiring craft of
professional musicianship up close
and personal.
