THE ELOUAN QUARTET with BRIDGET DOUGLAS

“Mata-Au” This programme moves between the rich Romantic lyricism of Amy Beach and Arther Foote, the contemporary fluidity of Salina Fisher’s Mata-Au (inspired by the Clutha River), and the rhythmic energy of Alberto Ginastera’s folk-infused Impresiones de la Puna.

Ludwig van Beethoven’s string quartet anchors the programme, offering a timeless contrast to the surrounding works. Audiences will be immersed in a journey through soundscapes that evoke flowing rivers, twilight atmospheres, and dynamic folk rhythms. With a strong connection to water and place, this programme resonates deeply in Aotearoa, where waterways are both culturally and environmentally significant.

Amy Beach Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet, Op.80
Salina Fisher Mata-Au (for string trio)
Arthur Foote A Night Piece for Flute and String Quartet
Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet No.6 in B-flat major, Op.18
Alberto Ginastera Impresiones de la Puna (for flute and string quartet)
