Garth Knoxโs Satellites opens Voyager with a kaleidoscopic exploration of sound and texture that expands the sonic possibilities of the string quartet. Bartรณkโs arresting String Quartet No.4, a tour de force of rhythmic energy, then takes you to a playground of Hungarian folk influences and raw emotion.
Beethovenโs monumental String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op.130, then unfolds with lyricism and grandeur, before concluding with the awe-inspiring Grosse Fuge, a work of uncompromising power that pushes the boundaries of musical form.
The music of Voyager charts a radiant course through beauty, complexity and boundary-breaking innovation.

Australian String QuartetThe Australian String Quartet (ASQ) is Australiaโs pre-eminent organisation dedicated to string quartet music and Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Adelaideโs Elder Conservatorium of Music.
Defined by excellence in performance and the joy of musical expression, our DNA comprises three inseparable parts. At the centre is our Quartetโfour full-time musicians, each a creative force in crafting the worldโs most dynamic and intimate music. Surrounding the Quartet is an innovative production company that presents, tours, records, and promotes exceptional artistry. Sustaining this, is a vital community of partners including our national Board, visionary PatronโMaria Myers AC, Major PartnerโThe University of Adelaide, Instrument PartnerโUKARIA and Government Supporters.
Together, we celebrate music from the past to the present, from near and afar, and strive to reflect contemporary Australia through our performances, collaborations, advocacy, learning programs, and development of new work. Our landmark ASQ Richard Divall Australian Music Fund, supports our ground-breaking Australian Anthology project that proudly champions the work of Australian artists.
In our 40th year, we are energised by our purpose to create chemistry and amplify intimacy through experiences that engage people across regional and metropolitan Australia and around the world.
