Ensemble Q with Ed le Brocq - From Mozart to Leunig

Hailed by Limelight magazine as “Australia’s top echelon of musicians,” Ensemble Q Australia launches its 2026 National Touring Program with a vibrant mix of beloved classics and compelling new Australian works. 

Featuring ABC Classic presenter and writer Ed le Brocq, the program unveils a newly commissioned work by Anne Cawrse, inspired by le Brocq’s deeply moving story Sonam & the Silence, a meditation on the transformative power of music. In a similar spirit, le Brocq gives voice to Michael Leunig’s whimsical imagination in Calvin Bowman’s Curly Pyjama Letters. Bookending these new works are two of the great pillars of the chamber repertoire — Beethoven’s String Trio in C minor, Op. 9 No. 3, and Mozart’s much-loved Clarinet Quintet, featuring clarinettist Paul Dean.
