Irina Morozova: Nothing is forever

Violist Irina Morozova has a long and distinguished career, including as principal viola of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, and guest principal of the Sydney Symphony and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras. But it's as part of the Goldner String Quartet that she and her fellow musicians Dene Olding, Dimity Hall and Julian Smiles, have found a significant place in the hearts of Australia's classical music lovers.

Long been considered Australia’s pre-eminent string quartet, the Goldners are considered among the best quartets in the world. They’ve recorded 19 albums covering repertoire from Beethoven to Peter Sculthorpe and have performed internationally including at London’s Wigmore Hall and at the Biennale in Venice. But this year, their 30th season, is also their last, with their farewell concert taking place this Sunday 8th of December at the Verbruggen Hall of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in association with Musica Viva.

Irina talks about the significant place the Goldner String Quartet has had in her life and heart. The music she shares is done so with thoughtfulness and passion, and her story is inspiring.
