Acacia Quartet
The Acacia Quartet is a string quartet based in Sydney, Australia. It was founded in 2010 by violinists Lisa Stewart and Myee Clohessy, violist Stefan Duwe, and cellist Anna Martin-Scrase. [1] Stewart and Clohessy both play A. E Smith violins.[2] The quartet were artists-in-residence at the radio station Fine Music 102.5 from 2014 to 2016.[3] They made their international debut performing the 2-hour long AIDS Memoir Quartet of Lyle Chan in Vancouver, Canada[4][5] and then travelled to Berlin to perform and record several string quartets by the Nazi-banned late German composer Günter Raphael.[6] Their discography demonstrates their longstanding collaborations with Australian composers Lyle Chan[7] and Elena Kats-Chernin[8]. Jane Sheldon recorded with the quartet.
