The centrepiece is Iain Grandage's impassioned Black Dogs, selected by Musica Viva Australia's Artistic Director Paul Kildea for this Perth-only program. Inspired by friends who had experienced periods of mental ill health, Grandage's work is a compelling exploration of the mind and its often-mysterious workings, with the guitar standing in for the brain. Taking us out of the body and into nature, Christopher Sainsbury's North Country Sketches is a series of etudes for solo guitar which the composer describes as exploring "Top End country topics" such as the Dry season, the Traditional Owner, and Gagudju. Other works to look forward to include Carulli's Guitar Concerto, Op. 140, where guitar and string quartet prove themselves ideal partners, Castelnuovo-Tedesco's stirring Guitar Quintet Op. 143, and Imogen Holst's Phantasy Quartet, a ruminative piece of music that plumbs great emotional depths. Selections from Boccherini's Guitar Quintet No 4 close out the concert.	6.30pm Sun 20 Feb Tickets $40 to $106 The Darlington Quartet \| Perth Festival https://tickets.perthfestival.com.au/events/20337 or Jonathan Paget & Darlington Quartet \| Musica Viva Australia	PERTH CONCERT HALL 5 St Georges Terrace Perth
