About
Affinity Quartet’s performances have been praised by critics for their ‘flawless technique’ and ‘emotional breadth’. Now entering their second decade, 2026 promises to be another big year for the ensemble as they focus on collaborations with some exciting guests, including two leading Australian musicians based overseas: Catherina Lee in London and Isabella Bignasca in Auckland/New York.Opening the program is a new work for Affinity Quartet’s project, ‘TAIWA’ - dialogue in Japanese, which celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Australia’s friendship with Japan.
