MELBOURNE SEASON
MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE
MONTSALVAT BARN GALLERY
COLLINS STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
2015
WELCOME TO FQ 2015!
“Music begins where the possibilities of language ends.”
Jean Sibelius
2015 marks the 150th anniversary of Jean Sibelius, whom some describe as “the last of the romantics.” Flinders Quartet will celebrate the life of this great composer by performing his complete string quartets, using them as a centrepiece of our programs in 2015. We are also thrilled to be performing the complete string quartet works by Sibelius in Finland as part of the 2015 Sibelius and Korpo Music Festival. Discovering these works has been one of the greatest joys and we can’t wait for you to hear them.
But there is much more than just Sibelius on offer in our 2015 season: Mozart, the much loved and poetic pianist Hoang Pham, Beethoven’s mighty Op. 131, as well as a brilliant project focussing on the combined effect of music and film with commissions from Andrew Ford and Sweden’s Mattias Lysell.
Our subscribers always get a special treat to say thank you for supporting us throughout the year. We really look forward to sharing great chamber music with you in 2015!
Helen, Shane, Helen and Zoe
“... this is not so much an ensemble reinvented as one reborn ... the quartet sounded as if they had been playing together for a lifetime: unity of interpretation, tight ensemble, fine balance, matched tone, and
fluent dialogues between solo and collective lines.”

Be part of our journey to Finland as we explore the marvellously romantic string quartets of Sibelius. What better companion for Sibelius than the crystal clarity of Mozart, whose genius we are eager to share.

The film “Performance” featuring Beethoven’s Op. 131 brought this towering piece into focus for many first time chamber music fans. It gave us the idea of exploring music in film and how our emotions are more affected by what we hear, rather than what we see. “Le Sculpteur Express” is from the famous Corrick Collection at the National Film and Sound Archive. The audience will see this silent film twice during the concert, once with a score by Australia’s Andrew Ford and once with a score by Sweden’s Mattias Lysell. Add in the best known quartet by Sibelius, “Voces Intimae” and we’re ready for action.

We have always loved the playing of Hoang Pham and know that he is going to bring something very special to the Schumann piano quintet. Playing in a string quartet, it all comes down to Beethoven, and the last of his Op. 18 quartets is so incredibly inventive, it has us constantly on our toes. FQ has known Tom Henry since we were residents together at the Banff Centre for the Performing Arts and we were thrilled to learn he had turned his hand to composition. An incredibly sophisticated and intuitive musician, we are very much looking forward to getting our hands on this new work.

LAUNCHED in 2014, our lunchtime series at Collins Street Baptist Church has quickly gained popularity among lovers of chamber music. A one hour program during the week is the perfect way to lift your day. With a focus on Sibelius in 2015 as we celebrate his 150th birthday, these programs promise a wealth of romantic, sublime chamber music and some absolute gems that we are unearthing for the first time.
