Important Concert Update
Unfortunately, one of our touring artists, Miles Mullin-Chivers, is a close contact of a positive COVID case and needs to isolate for 7 days. Due to this sudden development, we have had to revise our programs for the Newcastle concert on March 10 and the Sydney Saturday concert on March 12.
Bernadette Harvey and Harry Bennetts will present a violin recital in Newcastle, and the wonderful Umberto Clerici will be jumping in to fill in on cello for the Saturday program.
We appreciate your understanding in these unpredictable times and share your disappointment. We always attempt to act in the best interests of our artists, staff and audiences. If you have any further queries please contact Musica Viva Box Office on 1800 688 482 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm AEST) or via email at boxoffice@musicaviva.com.au
Newcastle Program
GRIEG Violin Sonata No. 2 in G major, Op. 13
PUTS Alternating Current
FRANCK Sonata in A major for Violin and Piano
Sydney Program
BEETHOVEN Piano Trio in D major, ‘Ghost’
Interval
GRIEG Lento Doloroso from Violin Sonata no 2
RAVEL Piano Trio in A minor
Beethoven’s kaleidoscopic Piano Trio in D Major, known as the ‘Ghost’. The work’s character is mercurial, beginning with a vigorous opening movement before segueing to the eerie largo that gives the work its nickname. It’s not until the finale that a sense of serenity is introduced, full of translucent textures and elegant themes.
The Lento Doloroso from Grieg’s Second Violin Sonata is the ideal showcase for the storytelling skills of Bennetts and Harvey, while Ravel’s Piano Trio in A Minor sees all musicians onstage again to conjure up the composer’s voluptuous dreamscape. Full of shimmering colour and dripping with sensuality, audiences will leave the concert hall on cloud nine.
