The Australian String Quartet performs Voyager, a concert exploring the outer limits of the string quartet with works by Garth Knox, Bartók, and Beethoven, on 22 October 2026 at UKARIA Cultural Centre.

The Australian String Quartet presents Voyager, a concert charting an expedition to the outer limits of the string quartet. The program opens with Garth Knox's Satellites, offering a kaleidoscopic exploration of sound and texture that expands the sonic possibilities of the ensemble. Bartók's String Quartet No.4 follows, delivering a tour de force of rhythmic energy that draws on Hungarian folk influences and raw emotion.

Beethoven's monumental String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op.130, unfolds with lyricism and grandeur, concluding with the Grosse Fuge, Op.133—a work of uncompromising power that pushes the boundaries of musical form. The concert runs approximately 2 hours including a 20-minute interval. Tickets are available through the Australian String Quartet by calling 1800 040 444 or booking online. UKARIA acknowledges the Peramangk as traditional custodians of the land on which the Cultural Centre stands.
