Spring Early Music Festival
|
|
The Spring Early Music Festival brings together University students, recent
graduates, local and visiting professionals for 14 events over 13 days,
including masterclasses, pre-concert talks and concerts. American virtuoso
lutenist Hopkinson Smith comes to
Melbourne for the first time to perform along side younger emerging artists from
overseas and closer to home. Satyr’s Band, Dutch-based ensemble lead by
recorder player &
oboist Amy Power, and
distinguished Spanish pianist
Enrique Pérez de Guzmán also give their first performances in Melbourne. Trinity
Chapel will come alive when
violinists Lorenzo Colitto and Lisa Ferguson and
viola player Peter Bucknell join
with Melbourne Collegium, an orchestra of young early string specialists, to
present a concert of Baroque favorites. And the Australian Chamber Choir brings
the music of mid-16th century composer Simon Boyleau, chapel master of
the Cathedral of Milan, back to life with the premier modern performance of
these beautiful motets. The Festival culminates with a student opera production
Récréation de Musique, a French musical entertainment devised and
directed by Greg Dikmans. |
