Melbourne-based Affinity Quartet is widely regarded as one of the finest and most awarded string quartets of its generation.
Since it started in 2015, Affinity’s programs have been synonymous with excellence in Australian chamber music, earning praise for their ‘captivating playing’ (Süddeutsche Zeitung), ‘flawless ensemble’ (Limelight Magazine), ‘highly committed’ (The Age), and ‘first class string playing’ (Classic Melbourne). 2025-2028 Four Winds Artists in Residence, Affinity are back after their popular 2023 & 24 Windsong Concerts.
Affinity Quartet’s imaginative approach to the genre embraces the work of living Australian composers and reflects the vibrancy and diversity of Australia. During their September Residency at Four Winds, Affinity brings their ‘Australian Playlists’ program to the Windsong Pavilion. Developed with support from Four Winds, Affinity Quartet presents performances and short film screenings exploring the work of contemporary Australian composers – Alice Chance, Brett Dean, Connor D’Netto, Holly Harrison, Tom Misson, and Justin Williams.
Public outcome of this residency to be announced shortly!
‘’This group of musicians has a collective wisdom and maturity which is singularly impressive … Affinity is a musical force with which to be reckoned.’’
