Event Details
In our opening concert we pay tribute to Festival co-founder, Michael Easton, with his magnum opus, the sinfonia concertante A Voice Not Stilled. Based on a theme by Holocaust victim Gabriella Kolliner, this moving and powerful work is given new life in this chamber arrangement by pianist-composer Benjamin Martin. The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky's final piece of chamber music, the melodious and enduring string sextet, Souvenir de Florence, performed by members of the Australian Octet.
This concert is presented with the generous support of Peter and Barbara Kolliner.
Featured non-Australian music: Tchaikovsky
