Selby & Friends | First, by No Means Last! – Melbourne

22 March 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm AEDT

Selby & Friends’ season kicks off with the wildly popular Café Music by the American composer Paul Schoenfield, the inspiration for which was a stint as a replacement pianist in a coffee house to help out a sick friend.

What better than to follow this brilliant, highly original work with two iconic ‘first’ piano trios from the Romantic repertoire – Mendelssohn’s first – a masterful work beloved by artists and audiences alike – and the incredible first trio by Brahms. Composed initially in his early 20s, Brahms returned some 40 years later to rewrite sections he felt he could improve. It is a true masterpiece.

We welcome back the stunning American cellist Clancy Newman and for the first time introduce the brilliant award-winning violinist Alexandra Osborne to our S&F audience who steps in to replace Harry Bennetts due to a scheduling conflict.
