A new Music Residency for WollCon – The Chroma Quartet – will be performing exclusive concerts in the Illawarra thanks to a Create NSW Arts and Cultural grant.
WollCon is delighted to bring you the second performance of our 2024 Resident Quartet The Chroma Quartet.
Sunday 6th October 2024 at 4pm in Wollongong Art Gallery.
This residency demonstrates WollCon’s ongoing commitment to welcoming exceptional artists to our region.
Officially launched in June 2021 (after many months of Covid-19 lockdown) the Chroma Quartet are truly passionate about creating beautiful music.
Forming a string quartet came naturally for Harry Bennetts (First Violinist), Victoria Bihun (Second Violinist), Elizabeth Woolnough (Viola), and Eliza Sdraulig (Cello). This quartet of fine musicians are at home playing together in various musical settings from the concert or recital hall to the local bar or pub. For their Wollongong Performances they will be surrounded by the amazing collection of the Art Gallery.
The players enjoy each other’s company – and that friendship comes through in their performances.
This residency builds on the success of the Enigma Quartet’s residency with the Junior String Program at WollCon in 2023. Indeed, the Choma Quartet will be engaging with members of our Junior Strings Program, to bring even more musical inspiration to our young string players.
“We’re excited to bring a wide range of music to Wollongong audiences. There are a few classics in there but also a few pieces that are not as widely known or played but just as exciting and rewarding.” – Victoria Bihun (violinist).
Fine music to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon in the Art Gallery – please join us.
Discounts available for string enrollees at WollCon…Junior String enrolees can attend for free!
“I heard the Chroma quartet at the last concert & it was a privilege to hear the high quality of performance in Wollongong. Bravo Wollongong Con for having this this group in residency.”
