Alma Moodie, born in 1898 in regional Queensland, was one of the pre-eminent violin soloists in Europe during the early 20th century. Helping to bring this remarkable Australian virtuosa out of the historical shadow, the Alma Moodie Quartet shares the dedication to music, both popular and neglected, that their namesake championed.

Joined by pianist Konstantin Shamray and Robert Nairn on double bass, the Quartet presents a program exploring composers that she inspired and was influenced by – Reger, Stravinsky, Bartók and Brahms –alongside a work by living composer Olli Mustonen to celebrate Alma’s dedication to contemporary music.
