In what must surely be the musical coup of the year, the Borodin Quartet are beginning their Australian tour with a concert in Bathurst! In association with Musica Viva's CountryWide program, the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre presents the Quartet in a special performance tonight at 8pm. Despite a mix up at check in which left the Quartet waiting outside an empty, unattended hotel for half an hour, we know tonight's performance will be stunning.
Sunday sees a special event of a different kind - the launch of the Amadeus Society in Melbourne. Members of this circle of supporters and music lovers pay a yearly contribution in order to support special artistic initiatives of Musica Viva. The Borodin Quartet will perform an intimate recital for the Amadeus Society of works not included in their national tour programs, including Shostakovich's profound String Quartet no 8. This guarantees to be an electrifying performance judging by the reviews of their recent London performances.
