Get up close to the music with an informal hour-long performance as the Australian String Quartet presents its new series Close Quarters—a concept dedicated to playing in intimate and unique settings. Enjoy a diverse range of music punctuated by lively conversation as Australia’s pre-eminent string quartet throws aside traditional conventions to present some of its favourite music over a tipple from our kiosk and a snack from your hamper. Pack a picnic dinner and come down to the gardens!
