POCKET STRING QUARTET
String Quartet Adelaide
Introducing the Pocket String Quartet, an improvisational ensemble hailing from Adelaide. Embracing the boundless realm of creativity, they delight in forging musical ventures, often collaborating with fellow artists to craft fresh compositions.
Helmed by the adept jazz violinist Julian Ferraretto, the quartet comprises Robin Anthony violin,
Karen De Nardi on viola, and Allye Sinclair on cello.
Their accolades include a memorable performance at WOMADelaide 2020 alongside Trio Da Kali from Mali, renowned for their collaboration with Kronos Quartet.
Additionally, they graced the Adelaide Festival Theatre during Australian Indigenous NADOC week, accompanying Vonda Last, and contributed to the vibrant tapestry of the Adelaide Fringe Festival.
In 2021, they seamlessly melded their melodies with the captivating visual artistry of Orlando Mee for an exclusive showcase at The LAB, part of the Illuminate Adelaide Festival. This collaboration featured original compositions enhanced by the rhythmic prowess of percussionist Fabian Hevia.
Returning to WOMAD in 2022, the quartet captivated audiences across diverse stages, even joining Goanna for a celebratory performance commemorating their 40th album anniversary.
Fast forward to 2024, they once again enchanted crowds at Womadelaide, this time with the soul-stirring Tibetan melodies of Tenzin Cheogal, creating an unforgettable highlight of the four-day extravaganza.
