Ragazze Quartet at commemoration 80 years democracy

It was a great honour to perform yesterday at the most important institution of our democracy, the Houses of Parliament, and for the King and Princess Amalia, gathered in a Special Joint Session on the occasion of “80 years of liberation – the Speech from the Throne”. A moment to realise how important freedom is and how fragile it can sometimes feel.

We performed the following works:
👑 Erwin Schulhoff – String Quartet No. 1, III. Allegro giocoso alla Slovacca
👑 Rhiannon Giddens – At the purchasers’s option (arr. Jacob Garchik)
👑 Kate Moore – Hy Brasil ‘Sydney Opera House’

All three music pieces are very special to us, expressing the importance of freedom!
