Chamber Music at its finest.

Presented by the USQ Academic Services Division

White Halo Ensemble is a chamber ensemble celebrating the importance of chamber music to arts culture and music education. Based at the University of Queensland’s School of Music, White Halo was created by existing performance staff, as well as through the recruitment of new performers from Melbourne, Sydney and Los Angeles.

Under the guise of a traditional piano quartet, the ensemble brings together four experienced musicians – Adam Chalabi (violin), Patricia Pollett (viola), Patrick Murphy (cello) and Liam Viney (piano) to bring audiences a unique chamber sound.

The group seeks to break barriers and explore new terrain within the art of chamber music through the commissioning of new chamber music from a diverse range of composers, including both established and emerging Australian and overseas composers. White Halo has already commissioned composers Andrew Ford, Gordon Hamilton, Matthew Hindson, and James Ledger.

A reception in the USQ Arts Gallery will follow the recital – refreshments will be served.
