ASQ x Parvyn

A genre-defying performance where contemporary Punjabi music meets the string quartet. The Australian String Quartet teams up with award-winning singer Parvyn and multi-instrumentalist Josh Bennett for a concert that blends the sounds of contemporary Punjabi music with the string quartet. Hear Parvyn’s vocals soar in a set of her own original Indian raga, pop and soul music, alongside arrangements merging voice, sitar, and string quartet. In interplay with this is a selection of works for string quartet born from vocal influences–Marcus Goddard’s Allaqi , inspired by Inuit throat singing practices, and the second movement of Schubert’s Death and the Maiden string quartet, inspired by the composer’s song of the same name. Experience the mesmerising sounds of the ASQ and Parvyn in this genre-defying performance.
