Our fourth and final concert in Hobart’s showpiece new recital hall introduces first-time festival guests, Australian String Quartet who begin in less well-known territory with a rare performance of the lyrical piano quintet by American Amy Beach, who stood out for her determination and talent in a traditionally male-dominated domain a century ago.

AMY BEACH
Piano Quintet, op 67 (27’)

FRANZ SCHUBERT
String Quartet in D minor “Death and the Maiden” (43’)
