Australian String Quartet Launches ‘Live At Ukaria’ + On Demand
The Australian String Quartet (ASQ) is launching its digital streaming platform ASQ Live + On Demand, and kicks off its online content delivery with a series of weekly live-streamed webisodes, titled ASQ Live at UKARIA.
The ASQ Live at UKARIA series mixes lifestyle programming and live-performance with a splash of sports broadcast excitement as it also takes you backstage to see what happens before a performance.
Hosted by singer and writer Johanna Allen and featuring a raft of world-class South Australian guest artisans including luthiers, street-artists, chefs and entrepreneurs, as well as acclaimed pianist Konstantin Shamray, the ASQ’s first major foray into the world of live streamed and on-demand content will promote a quitessential South Australian life-style experience to a world-wide audience.
Filmed at the iconic UKARIA Cultural Centre in the Adelaide Hills, the webisodes pair a live musical experience with the artistic exploration of South Australia’s landscape, as a stunning accompaniment to the performances. Extending beyond the stage, multi award-winning cinematographer Maxx Corkindale directs the photography, allowing the viewer unprecedented visual access to the performances, ensuring the streams will look as good as they sound.
