Our 2026 Season-ending concert program highlights one of Selby & Friends’ most important commitments – to foster the talents and experiences of the next generations of Australia’s artists.
With this program, we welcome two young newcomers in Louise Turnbull and Ariel Postmus, and welcome back the superb skills of Kristian Winther and Miles Mullin-Chivers. The program itself demonstrates and uncanny symmetry in its revelation of styles, from the joy and timelessness of Mozart’s beautiful early Piano Concerto in E-flat major in chamber music version to the jazz-infused piano quintet by French master Darius Milhaud of his own ballet music to “The Creation of the World”, and finally to the enduring melodies and infectious rhythms of the father of Czech music. The program is a melting pot of exciting musical styles and national idioms that were true creations of new worlds in music.
