Enso String Quartet

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.
