Zephyr Quartet
Genre:Classical, Experimental, World
Zephyr Quartet is a new music ensemble that exists to create exceptional performance experiences that resonate and communicate with audiences.
Since its inception in 1999, Zephyr Quartet has shown a continued determination to expand the boundaries of art music and how it is received by audiences. A firm believer in the power of the string quartet as a medium to communicate and explore complex relationships between society and art, Zephyr has achieved an enviable national reputation for artistic excellence, innovation and audience development. The quartet embraces collaborative practices, drawing inspiration from working with leading artists from backgrounds including visual arts, dance, poetry, and theatre to produce work that is vital, current and courageous. Recent projects include: Toddlerthèque – a concert for toddlers with DJ TR!P, presented at COME OUT Festival 2011; Hunting: Gathering – a collaboration with designer Khai Liew, part of the SALA festival in 2010; and Impulse with Leigh Warren and Dancers presented at the Holland Dance Festival in 2009.
