CA Spotlight Series - A Celebration of the Piano Quartet

Cygnus Arioso Spotlight Series
A Closer Look. A Deeper Listen.

In the first edition of our brand new Spotlight Series, we turn our lens to the piano quartet - a jewel of chamber music repertoire - exploring its expressive possibilities across three strikingly different voices. From Mozarts elegant Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, to the raw emotional terrain of Schnittke, and the romantic warmth of Schumann, this program offers a deep dive into the genres evolution, contrasts, and enduring beauty.

Join us for this intimate concert in the Eileen Joyce Studio at UWA, where close proximity invites a deeper connection with every gesture, phrase, and nuance.
