'''Australia Quartet, UTS Piano Quartet in Residence '''

Four of Australia’s best-regarded young chamber musicians have come together to form the Australia Quartet, UTS Piano Quartet in Residence.

The Australia Quartet's mission is to ensure the future of classical music by illuminating forgotten masterpieces, championing contemporary composers, and collaborating across media and art forms to challenge perceptions of what classical music can be in a university of technology. The Quartet presents both well-known and rarely performed gems of classical repertoire for piano quartet, alongside brand new works by Australian composers, at a world-class standard of performance.

Following successful Australian concerts in 2011 including for the acclaimed DIFFUSE series, and an invited tour to Mauritius, in 2012 the Australia Quartet will perform for the ABC's Sunday Live in June, and their inaugural four-concert season at the University of Technology, Sydney (Broadway), as well as a number of outreach and music education events later in the year.
