Penny Quartet is an award-winning Australian string quartet with an appetite for the new. From regional tours to festival appearances and international performances, Penny Quartet is always up for anything.
Together, Jess and the Pennies present an evening of music through the looking glass of 11 Australian composers, each commissioned to take one of Jess’s songs and arrange it for voice and string quartet. It’s no small challenge; there is perhaps nothing more difficult than honouring the directness and simplicity of these deeply personal songs.
The result is an exquisite song cycle for the here and now, interwoven with solo quartet by US composer Caroline Shaw, showcasing a generation of creative voices.
Will you spot the unique sound of each composer? Will you discover a new favourite?
And will you fall in love with Jess’s voice? Yes.
"Something very special… Jess’s vocal tone is pure and clear, leaving you to hang on every note." — Glamadelaide
