AFCM Illuminates 2: Goldner’s Celebration
Jack Liebeck interviews the Goldner String Quartet
As AFCM’s long-time Quartet-in-Residence, the Goldner String Quartet has played a significant role in the success of the Festival. Named after Richard Goldner, founder of Musica Viva Australia, they launched in 1995, and now in their 27th year, still retain all founding members. Join the Goldners and Jack Liebeck in conversation for a wonderful journey through their musical history.
