The Tinalley String Quartet has established itself as one of Australia’s finest classical music exports. The Tinalley String Quartet has toured throughout Australia, Europe, Canada and the United States, appearing in such prestigious venues as the Vienna Musikverein, Berlin Konzerthaus, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Frankfurt AlteOper.
In Australia, the group presents an annual recital Series at the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Recital Centre and performs regularly at the nation’s premier festivals including the Adelaide Festival; Perth International Arts Festival; Canberra International Music Festival; Melbourne International Arts Festival; Huntington Festival; Australian Festival of Chamber Music, Port Fairy Spring Music Festival and the Coriole Music Festival.
In addition to performing the great pillars of the quartet repertory, the ensemble has a passion for collaborating with artists outside of the classical sphere. Such projects have included ‘Beethoven’s Letters’ with actors John Bell and John Stanton; two commissions that combined the talents of singer/songwriter Lior and composers Nigel Westlake and Ade Vincent; and in 2018, a new commission by Nigel Westlake of ‘Compassion for Octet and Voice’.
