Haydn’s ‘Sunrise’ quartet has a special place in clarinettist Nicole van Bruggen’s heart.

In Vincenzo Gambaro’s arrangement for clarinet and three strings, it was one of the works that marked the very first professional recording that she made with fellow Australian musician Rachael Beesley, when they performed in the Kwartet André after graduation from the Royal Conservatorium in The Hague.

Now, 29 years after they first started performing together, the two – now co-Artistic Directors of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra (ARCO) – are about to perform ‘Sunrise’ again, this time on a tour of South East Queensland venues from 29 August – 5 September.
