FOOTSCRAY HIGH SCHOOL RESIDENCY - 2021

In 2019, Flinders Quartet began a residency with Footscray High School encouraging teenagers to experience and fall in love with the string quartet repertoire exploring the string quartets of Shostakovich. In 2021, FQ delved into Bartok with the students, creating artworks, posters and this piece written by Lee Bradshaw which celebrates the fascination Jimi Hendrix had with the six quartets of Bela Bartok.
