Attacca Quartet

##### Strings revolutionised, boundaries erased.

Transforming Elisabeth Murdoch Hall into a sonic atelier with electrifying intensity, GRAMMY-winning Attacca Quartet revolutionise what chamber music can be.

Opening with Caroline Shaw’s kaleidoscopic _Entr’acte_, Attacca Quartet immediately signals a fearless aesthetic, where precision meets spontaneity and tradition dances with innovation. Their bold reimagining of Radiohead’s _2 + 2 = 5_ blurs the line between concert hall and club, pushing the string quartet into thrilling new terrain. 

Shaw’s introspective _Three Essays_ invites quiet contemplation, while Ravel’s beloved String Quartet shimmers with vitality. The set rounds out with The Evergreen, a haunting meditation on fragility and renewal, offering stillness and breath before the final ascent. 

The evening culminates in Beethoven’s String Quartet No.15 in A minor, Op.132, a towering late work of structural daring and emotional transcendence, composed in the shadow of illness yet pulsing with life. 

From Shaw’s luminous textures to Beethoven’s spiritual vision, Attacca Quartet offers a performance that lingers long after the final note, reshaping the intimacy of live chamber music.
