SUPPORT FQ
Your support helps us do what we do: make exceptional music, develop the next generation of Australian composers and string quartets, and ensure as many people as possible can access and participate in chamber music.
Flinders Quartet has spent 25 years building something that reaches well beyond the concert stage. We commission and premiere new Australian works, run celebrated composer development programs, deliver education and mentoring, and create pathways for emerging ensembles to build sustainable careers. None of it happens without the generosity of people who believe in what we're doing.
We'd love to have you with us.

A little insight into FQ’s work with regional musicians through the John Noble Itet program
“The Australian public has been given a gift by this wonderful, youthful group of fine musicians and we are rightly proud of the position of the FQ in the Australian music scene and in particular, chamber music.”
Here’s a menu, take your pick!
2026 EOY:
From promise to performance:
Create a lasting future for string quartet music
Earlier this year, we asked you to help us build FQ Pathways, our initiative connecting emerging string quartets and composers with the mentorship they need to build a career in chamber music. This November, that promise takes the stage. FQ Sessions brings our inaugural Pathways ensembles together with Flinders Quartet for four performances at Library at the Dock, the first proof of what your support makes possible.
If you've already given this year, thank you. This is what it's building. If you haven't had the chance yet, or wanted to support further, there's still time to be part of it before the year ends.
ALL-ROUND SUPPORT FOR FQ:
Support FQ Activities
Your donation will help us provide free concert tickets to public high school students, mentor regional, amateur, and advanced musicians through programs like Itet, Resonance String Orchestra, and Musica Viva Australia’s Strike a Chord. It will also support our subscription concerts, the development of Australian works and home-grown composers, and generally keep us running (we’re creatives, we know how to implement big ideas with small budgets!)

“I choose to support FQ on the strength of the work they do in mentoring young and upcoming musicians and emerging composers. This support is crucial to the future of chamber music and is an aspect of their work which is as important as performance and often goes unnoticed.”
— Linda Herd, Fifth String Member
