Mostly Mozart: Drama!
|
|
Orchestra Victoria
and the Australian National Academy of Music with Alexander Morris (clarinet)
perform:
The urgent opening gesture of Mozart's Symphony No.40 ushers us into a dark
and dramatic world of turbulent operatic emotion, in the words of one critic it
is "a work of passion, violence and grief". This most famous of Mozart's
symphonies is instantly recognisable and gripping. Equally powerful is Carl
Weber's First Clarinet Concerto, a glittering star turn for an instrument with a
mercurial temperament and a gift for virtuoso 'vocal' acrobatics. Clearly talent
ran in the family: Weber was Mozart's cousin-in-law. In the spotlight is ANAM
clarinettist Alexander Morris and Orchestra Victoria (no strangers to opera)
directed from the violin by Concertmaster Adam Choulabi. Join us for tea and a
morning of danger, drama and dazzling playing. Morning tea available from
10:45am. |

Australian String Quartet - Sunrise
|
When ABC listeners voted on their top 100 chamber works, Bartók's 3rd and 4th
string quartets didn't get a guernsey. However In White Hat's list of top 100
chamber works both came within the top 20. Why not go along to this concert by
the Australian
String Quartet with Paul Dean (clarinet) and judge whether you think the ABC
listeners are right or whether White Hat is right. Mores seriously, why not go
along and experience some seriously good music performed by some seriously good
performers.
