Dr Anne Cawrse's New Piano Quartet Art of the Determined to Receive Premiere at the Australian National Academy of Music's 'Sounds of Australia' Festival
'Classical music is so much more than reproducing the great works of the past – it is equally about representing and listening to the voices of today and the future. Building this mentality into performers early in their careers is pivotal to ensuring a healthy Australian musical ecology into the future.'
– Anne Cawrse
