In this episode, I’m joined by Invictus Quartet, a Melbourne-based string quartet made up of Rebecca Wang, Nyssa Sanguansri, Jin Tong Long, and Annika Kenner.
We talk about how the group formed while studying at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, and how they’ve since built a professional career performing various concerts, collaborations, and private events. The quartet shares insights into their creative process, how they divide roles within the group, and the strong working relationship that underpins their success.
We also discuss their recent work in the recording studio; collaborating with various recording artists, releasing a mashup of Joy to the World and The Marriage of Figaro Overture, and working on a string sample pack for producers.
This chat was heaps of fun, with lots of laughs, learning and some moments of serious contemplation and vulnerability.
A grounded and engaging conversation with four musicians shaping their own space in the modern music scene and their mission to expand how audiences experience string quartet music.
