Music in the Regions will bring the thrilling concert experience to the Southern Riverina, with a performance set down for Tocumwal on Sunday, April 21.
The combined musicians are expected to perform two of the most beautiful and well-loved string sextets - Dvorak’s Op. 48 and Brahms’ Op. 36 - as well as the world premiere of a new work from Australian composer Lyle Chan.
Music in the Regions general manager and producer Ian Whitney said this will be the first time the program has brought international artists to the region.
“It’s very exciting for Music in the Regions to be able to share the fantastic regional audiences we meet at our concerts with Emile and Laurentiu,” he said.
“The warmth and generosity of the audiences we meet on the road make our work special, and I can’t wait for everyone to meet one another.”
Acacia Quartet second violinist Doreen Cumming said as residents of regional NSW themselves, the quartet is passionate about “bringing the best to our friends and neighbours”.
“This tour will definitely not disappoint,” she said.
“From the stunning romantic beauty of Brahms and Dvorak’s sextets to premiering a new work from Lyle Chan, Australian composer and close friend of the Acacia Quartet, these concerts will showcase the deep musical connection for which the Acacia Quartet is renowned.”
The Tocumwal concert will be hosted from 3pm on Sunday, April 21, at the Tocumwal War Memorial Hall.
