Highly Strung

Hobart's young string quartet

We are a young and energetic string quartet which formed in 2005. Not only do we bring new life to the classical repertoire, we play excellent arrangements of contemporary music and are always willing to fulfil listeners' requests!

We have a busy schedule performing at functions including:   -  weddings   -  conferences   -  dinners   -  as guests in concerts.

On Saturdays we can be found busking at Salamanca Market. Highlights to date are the Opening of the Law Year (2007); AUSTA Prize for the Most Promising String Quartet at the City of Hobart Eisteddfod (2006); Guest performers for the Arts Club (2006); Service for the Induction of the new Dean of Hobart (2006); International Ophthalmologist Conference (2005); Chocolate Lovers' Ball performance for Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary (2005); And of course, being photographed, recorded and filmed (including for documentaries) at Salamanca Market.

The Players: Astrid Sugden (violin) Hannah Vasicek (violin) Claire Roberts-Thomson (viola) Clara Teniswood (cello)
