Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Venice Secrets
|
 White
Hat suggests that for those interested in an introduction to the period
instruments of a Baroque orchestra it would be hard to find a better concert
than this one. Vivaldi, writing to develop and show off the remarkable
instrumental skills of the girls of the Ospedale Dell Pieta made sure
there were passages to parade each instrument briefly in the spotlight as well
as integrating them into the orchestral colour. And for those who need no
introduction to Baroque period instrument performances this concert will provide
you with the opportunity to see whether you agree with White Hat that the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer) is now of
international standard in its performance on period instruments. The concert
will feature Federico Guglielmo from Italy as guest director and violin soloist.

Tafelmusik - The Galileo Project Music of the Spheres
|
Canadian ensemble Tafelmusik will take you on an epic space odyssey, performing
period music before stunning images from the Hubble deep
space telescope. Combining music, photography and story-telling, The Galileo
Project brings to life the brilliant minds of the early astronomers and the
music that inspired them, as a large-scale, ever-changing backdrop of stars and
planets unfolds.
The publicity states "Using the best of
Bach,
Handel,
Monteverdi and
Vivaldi, come
and hear the tunes that were probably stuck in Galileo’s head when he discovered
the moons of Jupiter." Now you are probably thinking, like White Hat how
could tunes of composers who hadn't been born yet be stuck in his head. However
we are sure that this program has been meticulously researched so all will be
revealed. The program will also feature works by Lully,
Purcell,
Rameau,
Telemann & Michelangelo Galilei
brother of the astronomer). From the reputation of the group and the reviews of
this concert, White Hat suggests you go out of your way to attend.
[For those wanting a little background
to the history of the concept that over the centuries was known as The Music
of the Spheres, White Hat suggests that you consult the
program notes of Music of the Spheres
- given by Ars Nova of Melbourne. This concert is unrelated to the one above
but was also based on the relationship composers, mathematicians and scientists
long saw between music, mathematics and the heavenly bodies.]

Mozart, Handel & Vivaldi Concertos
|
The Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Egarr (Guest Director, Harpsichord, Fortepiano)
and Satu Vänskä (Lead Violin)
Keyboard players, conductor, historian, and director of the Academy of Ancient Music, Richard Egarr directs this concert from the harpsichord
and performs Mozart's delightful Piano Concerto No.12 on the fortepiano. White
Hat suggests you take the opportunity to hear the difference it make to have a
Mozart concerto played on the fortepiano rather than an overblown concert grand. Satu Vänskä is soloist in a Vivaldi concerto on the
ACO's
Stradivarius violin.
