Event Details
Montreal-based violist Pemi Paull performs a recital that reflects his multifaceted profile as a solo performer, interspersing rarely heard works by some of the most interesting musical voices of today, with surprising and inventive arrangements of masterpieces re-appropriated for the viola. Garrowby Hill, a four-movement work for solo viola, is by Canadian composer Michael Oesterle, whose inspiration was the pastoral work of painter David Hockney. Al-Hisar, by the Australian composer Katia Tiutiunnik, is an Arabic-influenced work; it complements Paull’s own transcription of Georges Enescu’s gypsy-inspired movement for solo violin, The Fiddler. Bookending the concert are the profoundly spiritual Passacaglia by Biber, originally for violin, one of the earliest unaccompanied string works ever written, and an intimate solo viola arrangement of the Adagietto from Mahler’s 5th symphony by New York composer and violist Ljova.
Featured non-Australian music: Heinrich Biber, Michael Oesterle, Georges Enescu, Mahler arr. Ljova
