Black Square Quartet

Innovative and boundary-pushing, the Black Square Quartet bring their hauntingly beautiful string music to Coolum, Eudlo and Maleny this August 19 - 25.

Inspired by the iconic and controversial artwork, The Black Square, by Kasimir Malevich, one of the first true examples of artistic minimalism, the quartet is set to captivate and inspire audiences with their fresh perspective on classical music.

The Black Square Quartet brings together a fusion of musical genres, including Contemporary, Nordic Folk, Balkan Gypsy, and Renaissance music, weaving a tapestry of diverse sounds that redefine the boundaries of classical music.

Audiences will have the opportunity to experience a unique repertoire featuring captivating works of acclaimed composers such as Caroline Shaw, Thomas Green, Jessie Montgomery, Danish String Quartet, Michael Bacrncev, and the quartet's very own Michael Patterson.

As violinist Camille Barry explains "We can't wait to bring this unique programme to audiences on the Sunshine Coast. This selection of works traverses time, cultures and genres - there's something in there for everyone. We're passionate about new music, so it's an honour to be able to perform several works by homegrown composers.”

The Black Square Quartet was founded in 2018 and is committed to promoting new and Australian music – they bring a fresh perspective to classical music that is both inspiring and unforgettable.
