Sarah Walker presents more highlights from last summer's Australian Festival of Chamber Music.

Today we feature a work by a young Australian composer and Festival Director Kathryn Stott.

24-year-old Connor D'Netto was composer in residence at the festival and he contributed several works for various ensembles, and this is his second String Quartet, written in 2015 and played here by the renowned Australian String Quartet.

Kathryn Stott has been Festival Director since 1995 and as well as curating the overall music making, likes to get involved onstage too. 2020 sees the 30th anniversary of the Australian Chamber Festival and highlights will be broadcast on Radio 3 later in the year, presented by Petroc Trelawney who will be hosting the concerts from the stage in Townsville, Northern Queensland.
