Ensemble Q Australia continues its 2026 National Concert Series with a program of striking contrasts and expressive power. Béla Bartók’s Contrasts lights the fuse: a virtuosic trio for clarinet, violin and piano that draws on Hungarian and Romanian folk impulses - raw, playful and rhythmically unpredictable.

Margaret Sutherland’s Nocturne shifts the lens inward, its quiet shimmer and suspended lines revealing a composer of striking subtlety, portrayed exquisitely by violinist Adam Chalabi. Brahms’ Piano Quartet in C minor Op. 60, is an emotionally charged and deeply romantic work whose sombre beauty and soaring lyricism echo his lifelong, unspoken love for Clara Schumann.

Featuring Ensemble Q Australia musicians at their peak - Daniel de Borah, Paul Dean, Adam Chalabi, Benjamin Roskams and Trish Dean.
