The concert will take place at Benalla Town Hall on Saturday, November 29, while the gallery undergoes its exciting redevelopment.
Audiences will be treated to Joseph Haydn’s radiant Sunrise Quartet, Nick Wales’ exhilarating Harbour Light and Maurice Ravel’s luminous String Quartet — a program celebrating both timeless European classics and the vibrancy of Australian composition.
Acacia Quartet’s Anna Martin-Scrase said they were looking forward to performing in Benalla.
“We can’t wait to perform for Benalla and make new friends,” she said.
