Arts Event: ANAM Quartetthaus
(Sorry, this event has sold out)
Hosted by:
October 17, 2015 @ 6:00 am - 8:00 am
An extraordinary fusion of music, architecture and design, ANAM Quartetthaus is a unique listening space. A celebration of intimate, live performance that is an experience unlike any other in Melbourne.
It grew from a simple idea: to conceive, design and build a place that is shaped at every turn by the music to be performed within it; a place unencumbered by the ‘rhetoric’ of traditional concert presentation, just as the intimate musical form of the string quartet, which has given rise to the project, is stripped of the rhetoric of larger scale musical forms.
The ANAM Musicians will present HAYDN String quartet in C major op. 64, no. 1 hob III:65
SHOSTAKOVICH String quartet no. 8 in C minor op. 1100
With only 52 places available for each performance, audience members are seated in two circles about a central stage where no one is more than two metres from the performers, accentuating the visceral theatre of live string quartet performance.
