A new series exploring the origins of the string quartet.

From Alessandro Scarlatti’s Sonate a quattro (published in 1725), specifically marked senza cembalo (without harpsichord), arguably the first ‘string quartet’, we go back and forwards in time to trace the development and maturity of the form.

For over 40 years Adelaide Baroque has given concerts of early music to enthusiastic audiences in Adelaide, interstate and abroad. Concert programs have been innovative and varied, featuring music from the vast repertoire of 17th and 18th century European music as well as some contemporary music from Australia, including new commissioned works. Our aim is to excite contemporary audiences with the power of baroque music.
