Morning Concerts: Aquila

Aquila's live performances seamlessly blend the timeless elegance of classical music with the energy of contemporary hits, creating unique interpretations that breathe new life into both genres.

Led by renowned first violinist and arranger Rachael Aquilina, this ensemble is redefining what a string quartet can sound like, offering a fresh take on familiar favorites.

Imagine the biggest hits from the last 5 decades transformed by the rich sounds of two violins, a viola, and a cello. Now, add the dynamic rhythms of one of Perth’s most respected drummers, Ben Vanderwal, and you’ll begin to grasp how Aquila reinvents some of the greatest songs from the past 50 years.

With original arrangements spanning from classic songs of The Beatles to Amy Winehouse, Aquila leaves no musical era untouched. Their ever-expanding repertoire breathes new life into beloved classics, all through the timeless beauty of classical instruments.
