This concert celebrates the joy of sound. Janáček’s String Quartet No. 2 Intimate Letters was originally written for the unique sound of the viola d’amore; we sample that version, together with a performance featuring the viola. Multi-instrumentalist Garth Knox, whom Harrington reveres for his approach to music making, is our guide. He’ll give us a glimpse into the way that he conceives sound, and duet with Chloë Sobek on the violone (a Renaissance double bass) and Christopher Cartlidge (violist of the Australian String Quartet).

On stage: Garth Knox, Chloë Sobek, Australian String Quartet
