ABOUT THE ARTISTS Since its formation in 2002 Nexas Quartet has premiered countless new Australian works and collaborated with the finest musicians, theatre and dance companies. 2016 saw the release of its debut album, Current, a reflection of its collaboration with leading Australian composers. The recording is described by Stephanie Eslake for Limelight as ‘a riveting release’, and contains works by Elena Kats-Chernin, Matthew Hindson, Lachlan Skipworth, Daniel Rojas and Matthew Orlovich. Early in 2017 the Quartet recorded Ballads of a Pleasant Life for ABC Classics with baritone Peter Coleman-Wright. The Quartet has performed at the Australian Festival of Chamber Music in Townsville, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Sydney Opera House and at World Saxophone Congresses (Scotland, France and Croatia).
‘The brilliance of the performers, their easy charm and obvious affection and enthusiasm for the material proved a seductive combination in a presentation which informed the mind while pleasuring the soul.’ Arts Review
