In the past 12 years Acacia Quartet have won great respect for their versatile and inventive programs. Acacia have recorded twelve albums, with Blue Silence earning them a nomination for an APRA-AMCOS Art Music Award for Excellence.

Acacia are passionate about supporting Australian composers, working with young musicians, and sharing their love of music with audiences of all ages. Their performances feature regularly on radio stations around the world.

Acacia’s engagements in Australia include the Sydney Opera House, City Recital Hall Sydney, Melbourne Recital Hall, as well as extensive touring through regional NSW and Victoria.

Acacia had their international debut in Vancouver, Canada, at the Roundhouse in June 2016. The following year, Acacia Quartet were invited by the Christine Raphael Foundation to give their European debut, where they performed concerts in Berlin and recorded a CD with three string quartets by Günter Raphael.

‘The audience was completely overwhelmed by the exceptional quality of the performance,’ said Janine Collins of Music in the Regions, NSW.

Acacia Quartet is proud to be the Ensemble in Residence at the Orange Regional Conservatorium.
