Penny Quartet have gained a reputation as a driven and multifaceted voice in Australian chamber music and brings a vibrant approach to their performances across the country.
They were nominated for the Freedman Fellowship award, recipients of the John and Rosemary Macleod Travelling Fellowship, winners of the ANAM Chamber Music Competition and two-time recipients of the MRC Contemporary Masters Award. The Penny Quartet have been ensemble in residence at Four Winds Festival, Canberra International Music Festival, presented independent recital tours across Australia as well as Featured Artists with Musica Viva Australia’s regional touring program. They made their international debut as full scholarship holders at the St. Lawrence String Quartet seminar at Stanford, CA.
“It is reassuring to see the future of chamber music in such capable and musically adventurous young hands… Of all the many concerts in this series that I have attended, I cannot remember a more wildly enthusiastic response… there was a satisfying depth of tone that had the listener wondering how four players could sound like so many more.”
