Weâre starting the new year with two incredible pieces of music. Weâll be playing Impermanence, a hot-off-the-press ballet written by Bryce Dessner (yes, the guitarist from the band The National – oh, and the composer for hit shows âthe Revenantâ and âTwo Popesâ). Impermanence was commissioned by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Sydney Dance Company – weâre excited that the sheet music has just become available so we can share this great music with you. The concert will conclude with Beethovenâs Quartet No. 7 Op. 59, from a period in Beethovenâs career where he was pushing the boundaries of the string quartet, resulting in an evolution of the quartet genre that has stood the test of time.

Impermanence a Ă©tĂ© commissionnĂ© par l’Australian Chamber Orchestra et la Sydney Dance Company – nous sommes ravis que les partitions viennent d’ĂȘtre disponibles et que nous puissions partager cette musique avec vous. Le concert se terminera par le Quatuor n° 7 Op. 59 de Beethoven, qui marque une pĂ©riode de la carriĂšre de Beethoven oĂč il poussait les limites du quatuor Ă cordes, rĂ©sultant en une Ă©volution du genre du quatuor qui a traversĂ© les Ă©poques.
