Experience one of the greatest Chamber works ever composed in this unique performance of the Schubert String Quintet. Be immersed in a world of sublime lyrical euphoria and dark, profoundly unsettling angst as the struggle between life and death unfolds in the most extraordinary music ever written.

This Quintet was to be Schubert’s last completed work, written only weeks before his death during a period of rapidly declining health for the composer, aged only 31. Desperate to fill the void and secure his legacy in the world of music, in the final year of his life Schubert produced his most extraordinary compositions including the two piano trios, three piano sonatas, his last song cycle, and the exquisite String Quintet – his first and only work for this ensemble.

Violinists Sophia Kirsanova and Emily Beauchamp, Violist William  Clarke and Cellists Joshua Dema and Belinda Liew join forces for this momentous chamber work. The five performers come with a wealth of experience which they have shared across the stages of Australia, Europe and Asia.
