VIDEO INTERVIEW; ELIAS STRING QUARTET
REVIEW; ELIAS STRING QUARTET AT LLEWELLYN HALL, 5th SEPT 2013
As part of the Australian Musica Viva programme, the Elias String Quartet recently commenced their nationwide tour, playing in various Australian cities. On the closing night in Canberra on the 5th of September 2013 at Llewelyn Hall, they played works by Haydn, Matthew Hindson and Beethoven. This young up-and-coming quartet played in almost perfect unity and brought out the essence of the pieces exceptionally well.
Of the pieces, perhaps the Hindson “String Quartet No. 2” was the most interesting. The unique sounds made by the instruments truly reflected the nature of the piece, and the piece was further enriched by the brilliant communication between the different instruments. The Haydn “String Quartet in F major, op 77 no 2”, reminiscent of some of Haydn’s later string quartets, was also played very charmingly. The finale of the night, Beethoven’s ‘Razumovsky’ String Quartet, although rather heavier than the other pieces, was brought to life by the players very well.
It was a great pleasure to have been able to watch this performance live and to experience the emotions of the players through their music in person. Overall, this was a wonderful and enjoyable concert to be enjoyed by music lovers young and old alike.

REVIEW; ELIAS STRING QUARTET AT LLEWELLYN HALL, 5th SEPT 2013
The Elias String Quartet projected their performance in a way that encapsulated emotion, style and communication.
The communication from the first note was unbelievable. The intricate melodies perfectly in sync with each other as it was passed around. You can see the artists move as one, and play as one. The Hindson even though it wasn't my favourite style of music was amazing to watch. The syncopated and intricate rhythms were perfectly in time. All lead by the enthusiastic leader. Watching this amazing group of musicians has inspired me to strive to become a better chamber and solo musician.

MATTHEW HINDSON'S SPEED IS NOT INFLUENCED BY THE MOVIE SPEED
In this video, extremely talented Australian composer and all-round nice guy, Matthew Hindson, denies that one of his most famous pieces, Speed, is influenced by the movie Speed.
To be honest, it's not hard to believe that the intense, uptempo piece of music was influenced by the intense, uptempo 1994 Keanu Reeves blockbuster. Hindson sets the record straight here and reveals that the influence was, in fact, techno music. Those who had hoped that Hindson was a closet Sandra Bullock fan (Bullock was the bomb in The Blind Side!), or a drug freak, will be disappointed.
Check out Hindson's Speed on Spotify below. Hindson's new work, String Quartet No 2, will be premiered by the Elias String Quartet on their upcoming Australian tour for Musica Viva.
