Flinders Quartet & Michael Houstoun

This concert brings together two well-known NZ musicians with an Australian string quartet. The artists are Elizabeth Sellars (violin), Wilma Smith (violin), Helen Ireland (viola), Zoe Knighton (cello) – who make up the Flinders Quartet - and Michael Houstoun (piano) who joins them to form a piano quintet. Familiar Beethoven and Dvořák works bookend an Australian work that was inspired by Matthew Flinders' aboriginal comrade Bungaree, in his circumnavigation of Australia.

Ludwig van Beethoven, String Quartet No. 11 in F minor Op 95 (1810)
Deborah Cheetham Fraillon, Bungaree (NZ premiere)
Antonin Dvořák, Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major Op 81
