Georgia Fields (Vic) With River Suite String Quartet

Singer-songwriter and sonic shapeshifter Georgia Fields presents her String Theory National Tour 2025.

In an exciting collision of worlds, Georgia will collaborate with a different string quartet in each city, over 9 shows. The River Suite String Quartet, led by celebrated violinist Sarah King, are playing this Meanjin performance. 

Equal parts elegant and ethereal, this unique collaboration blurs the lines between evocative chamber-folk and playful art-pop. Together they will perform 'strings' versions of Georgia's own songs, plus a couple of strikingly reimagined covers.

Georgia boldly integrates live looping with extended techniques from the string players, pushing the boundaries of both her voice, and instruments themselves. This is a rare opportunity to see one of Naarm/Melbourne's most innovative singer-songwriters on stage with some of Meanjin's finest chamber musicians. 

Support comes from Jack Carty, and Mardi Lumsden.
