The ASQ features in Transfigured Night as part of the Adelaide Festival’s Incredible Floridas: Chamber Landscapes program, curated by Kim Williams

Alfred Hill (1869-1960): String Quartet No. 3 in A minor ‘The Carnival’ (1912)
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951): Pierrot lunaire Op. 21 (1912)
– Interval
Richard Dehmel (1863-1920): Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) (1896)
Jack Symonds (b. 1988): Blühen (2020) (world premiere)
Arnold Schoenberg: Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) for string sextet Op. 4 (1899)

From 1912, sunny and uncomplicated Alfred Hill in the style of Brahms and of Grieg followed by sickly and Daedalian Schoenberg in the style of nothing hitherto dreamt of. World-renowned Australian singer/actor Jessica Aszodi is the moon-mad clown (and she also sings in a new work by the ensemble’s musical director, Jack Symonds, which is the 2020 John Bishop Memorial Commission). Schoenberg’s voluptuous tone poem from 1899 will send you swooning into the night.
