a special two-night event
NIGHT ONE:
to the earth
music for string quartet + cavernous spaces
Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra
rich, raw, propulsive, explosive :: to the earth drives you to the edges of your seat in its
descent to the depths
Following from a sold out concert in 2016, Argo returns to one of our favourite venues, underground in
Brisbane’s heritage-listed Spring Hill Reservoir. Eerie yet chillingly beautiful, the maze-like chambers set the scene for a night full of intensity and edge, featuring a quartet of players from the Camerata and live
visuals by Bec Todd.
The program includes the Australian premiere of John Luther Adams’ sonorous Canticles of to Sky, the
motoric patterns of a newly commissioned string quartet by Chris Perren, Philip Glass’ post-minimal
masterpiece fifth string quartet, and the sheer combustible energy of Connor D’Netto’s award-winning
second quartet.
