Event Details
This event is part of the Incredible Floridas - Chamber Landscapes concert series curated by Kim Williams.
From 1912, sunny and uncomplicated Alfred Hill in the style of Brahms and of Grieg followed by sickly and Daedalian Schoenberg in the style of nothing hitherto dreamt of. World-renowned Australian singer/actor Jessica Aszodi is the moon-mad clown (and she also sings in a new work by the ensemble’s musical director, Jack Symonds, which is the 2020 John Bishop Memorial Commission). Schoenberg’s voluptuous tone poem from 1899 will send you swooning into the night.
