Can music describe a person? Flinders Quartet believes so and explores this idea in a concert program involving an innovative musical collaboration between composers Melody Eötvös and Rishin Singh, plus a world premiere by rising star Natalie Nicolas. This is topped off with Borodin’s second quartet depicting his immense love for his wife. The themes of love, letter writing, and communication through music are counterbalanced with the crystalline brilliance of Mozart; music for music’s sake alone.
