Charlie Wells  New Work for String Quartet
Robert Schumann  Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44

Adelaide University’s Quartet-in-Residence, the Australian String Quartet (ASQ), joins forces with the Elder Conservatorium’s Dean, Professor Anna Goldsworthy, for a program that pairs fresh creative talent with one of the great cornerstones of the Romantic repertoire.  A new work by Elder Conservatorium student Charlie Wells is heard alongside Robert Schumann’s timeless Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44 – a piece born of his profound artistic partnership with Clara Schumann and composed during his inspired ‘Year of Chamber Music’ in 1842.
