We are thrilled to be participating in the 2025 Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival in concerts that also feature the wonderful Aura Go (piano), Stefanie Farrands (viola) and Timo-Veikko Valve (cello).
Friday 31 October, 8pm | Concert Four—The Ardent Flame
Ian Potter Recital Hall, 19-29 Campbell St, Hobart
The fourth and final concert in Hobart’s showpiece new recital hall begins in less well-known territory with a rare performance of the lyrical piano quintet by American composer Amy Beach, who stood out for her determination and talent in a traditionally male-dominated domain a century ago.
The concert concludes with Schubert’s Death and the Maiden string quartet. Needing little introduction, it is possibly the most popular of all string quartets with its passionate melodies, exhilarating energy and unstoppable momentum.
Saturday 1 November, 2pm | Concert Five—Scintillation
St George’s Church, 30 Cromwell St, Battery Point
On Saturday afternoon the festival focus moves to historic Battery Point and one of Tasmania’s most celebrated Georgian-period churches, St George’s. The program pairs an early Beethoven string quartet with the lush textures of Brahms’ string quintet in G Major, where we will be joined by violist Stefanie Farrands, currently principal viola with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
Saturday 1 November, 7pm | Concert Six—Vox Luminis
St George’s Church, 30 Cromwell St, Battery Point
The final concert in St George’s promises a journey through the spirit. It commences with a heartfelt single-movement work by young Australian composer, Justin Williams, followed by Osvaldo Golijov’s hymn to darkness, Tenebrae. Schoenberg’s incomparable string sextet, Transfigured Night, concludes the program.
