The image shows a cello appearing to explode in space, as a bow srikes its stringes. The cello is amidst fiery flames, the sparkling cosmos - where we see dark gas clouds and distant star systems resting on a magenta background.
Enormous pink, purple, white and amber clouds circle the domed planetarium ceiling above dimly lit musicians, surrounded by an audience in the round.
A string quartet sits in the round in a dark planetarium, their faces aglow from the iPad screens they are reading from. Above them, vibrant purple, blue and green concentric rings glow from a distant planet amidst a star studded night sky.

About Angel Strings

ANGEL STRINGS is a string quartet crazy about classical, jazz and pop music.

They have a unique ability to connect with a wide audience, having played at Brisbane City Hall, the Woodford Folk Festival, on SBS TV, at the Brisbane Powerhouse, the Melbourne Crown Casino, the Melbourne Fringe and to tens of thousands as part of the Candlelight Concert series.

Angel Strings have performed locally and overseas with Guy Sebastian, Archie Roach, Mick Harvey, Busby Marou and iconic Persian artist ’Moein’.

Individual ‘Angels’ have performed with the Queensland and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras, Queensland Theatre, Opera Queensland and Opera Victoria. They have shared the stage with Nigel Kennedy, Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Human Nature and William Barton.

Angel Strings have somehow also featured in the latest Supercheap Auto ad and in Dubai fashion magazine ‘Mojeh’.
