Dominion String Quartet

The Dominion String Quartet is a notable ensemble known for its dedication to recording the works of Alfred Hill, an Australian-born composer. Formed in 2006, the quartet took its name from the centenary of New Zealand's establishment as a dominion. Their discography includes a comprehensive series of Hill's string quartets, showcasing his contributions to the chamber music genre. These recordings have been released under labels like Naxos and highlight Hill's blend of European influences and Australasian musical identity.

The Dominion String Quartet's exploration of Hill's repertoire, which includes seventeen string quartets, has been well-received for its artistic depth and historical significance. Their recordings serve as a testament to Alfred Hill's legacy as a leading composer of the Late Romantic era, whose works reflect encounters with luminaries like Brahms and Dvořák during his studies in Europe.
