Laurence joins Francesca Hiew, second violinist with the Australian String Quartet for a program of romantic violin favourites.

While studying with Laurence at ANAM, Francesca co-founded the Auric Quartet – who have since been selected as finalists for the Asia-Pacific Chamber Music Competition and Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition and performed at Perth International Arts Festival, Melbourne Festival, Four Winds Festival and Dunkeld Festival.

Francesca has performed as a soloist with the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria and as part of a solo quartet with Orchestra Victoria in the Australian Ballet’s production of Brett Dean’s “Fire Music”. After winning a full-time position in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2014, Francesca joined the ASQ in 2016.
