William Barton Square Circles
The Brodsky Quartet team up with the incomparable didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton in this sensational collaboration that embraces icons of the classical canon with Barton’s own music, Andrew Ford’s quartet written during the bushfires of late 2019, and other deeply evocative contemporary music. This is an exhilarating, bracing and moving programme from start to finish.
William Barton is Australia’s most celebrated didgeridoo virtuoso. The sounds that he creates from this apparently simple, elemental instrument are extraordinary; his performances generate awe and disbelief. He has performed around the world, including with the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle.
The Brodsky Quartet need little introduction to St George’s. They are serial collaborators who have crossed paths with the likes of Elvis Costello, Björk and Dawn Upshaw. They fulfilled their long time wish to perform with William Barton through several collaborations in recent years, including a hugely successful tour of New Zealand.
