Sydney Mozart Society | 2025 Season
It is fitting that one of Australia’s leading historically informed chamber music orchestras, Australian Haydn Ensemble opens the 75th season promoting music by Mozart and his contemporaries. Single concerts go on sale at The Concourse, Chatswood this week. This renowned ensemble kicks off a celebration season that includes some of Australia’s best chamber musicians and ensembles, who have regularly delighted and entranced SMS audiences over the years enabling us all to follow their careers as they reached the heights they now hold.
Tuesday 18 March 2025 – Australian Haydn Ensemble perform two wonderful quartets from Haydn and Beethoven that morph effortlessly from the lofty to the lowbrow. Then Fanny Mendelssohn’s quartet, apparently the first ever composed by a woman, offers an elegant, if far from ladylike riposte. TIX >>
Wednesday 28 May 2025 – Seraphim Trio will delight us with Mozart’s E-major masterpiece, the only trios written by Debussy and Tchaikovsky and a trio arrangement of Lili Boulanger’s sound painting of a spring morning. TIX >>
Tuesday 19 August 2025 – Timo-Veikko Valve and Aura Go perform unfinished pieces by Mozart and Beethoven completed and arranged for piano and cello and give us our first performance in the season of Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata.
Tuesday 9 September 2025 – Francesco Celata, Roger Benedict and Daniel Herscovitch join forces as a clarinet trio for a varied programme that provides the rare opportunity to contrast Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata arranged for viola and piano with the performance by cello and piano in the preceding concert.
Wednesday 1 October 2025 – Andrew Haveron, Julian Smiles, Samuel Jacobs and Kathryn Selby form a star-studded quartet comprising three distinguished and enduring friends joined by a fresh face to perform Mozart’s Divertimento along with two massive masterpieces by Smetana and Brahms.
Tuesday 4 November 2025 – Streeton Trio close the season with piano trios by Mozart, Brahms and Schubert.
All concerts are held in the glorious acoustic of The Concourse Concert Hall, 409 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood, NSW 2067. They start at 8pm and finish around 10:30pm. Concert Hall doors open at 7:30pm and external doors at 7pm. There is one interval of about 20 minutes.
