GORDON KERRY String Quartet No. 6 *
“Why do some string quartets become favourites?”
– Elizabeth Sellars, Violin
Music marks history in a unique and poignant way. Mozart’s legacy is epitomised in the Dissonance Quartet, which is revered for its daring harmony that broke all the rules, as well as its soaring melodies and sense of humour. Gordon Kerry’s legacy is already evident in ensuring the essence of 21st century Australia is chronicled through sound in his timbres and driving rhythms while drawing inspiration from ancient plainchant.
*Commissioned by Flinders Quartet with support from Siobhan Lenihan, for Dolores and Denis Lenihan.

Flinders Quartet
Flinders Quartet is instantly recognisable as one of Australia’s most loved chamber music ensembles. They are a quartet for the 21st century and a highly respected force in Australian chamber music, entering their third decade with acknowledged musical skill and maturity.
Over twenty years, Flinders Quartet has followed a unique path and lives up to their motto of “caring for tradition, daring to be different” through a busy schedule encompassing live and online performances, commissioning, recording, education and mentorship programs, including the successful composer development programs ‘Ascend’ and ‘Emerge’, and outreach activities through their artistic patronage of John Noble’s Itet regional quartet program, Resonance String Orchestra, and Musica Viva’s Strike a Chord championship.
