Camerata a much-needed balm in Brisbane this week

Camerata & Brendan Joyce: Schumann March 13, 2025, QPAC, Brisbane, QLD After a wild weekend where Cyclone Alfred lashed Brisbane with heavy winds and torrential rain, the sun finally emerged, and we were able to return to ‘normal life’. For me, this meant returning to the QPAC concert hall for an evening of passionate chamber music with Camerata.  Camerata opened

End of an era for Sydney Mozart Society with the ‘immaculate’ Goldners

The end of an era can be mourned or celebrated and the audience at Sydney Mozart Society’s latest concert certainly chose the latter course, giving the Goldner Quartet a great send-off following their final recital in this series after thirty years of performance. Dene Olding, now viewed as a friend rather than a celebrity gave a comprehensive introduction to the

Willems’ Carnaval full of feeling and mood

Gerard Willems | Carnaval March 31, 2022, Australian Digital Concert Hall Carnaval is a very early piano piece by Schumann but to my mind transcends anything he wrote subsequently. Carnaval is a pre-Lent festival in Germany in which there are masked balls featuring characters like Pantalon and Columbine, and Schumann incorporates these figures into sections adding composers such as Paganini

I was pleased when the UNSW Winter Gala was moved from the Sir John Clancy Auditorium to the more intimate Tyree Room at the Scientia Building. This made for a convivial, cosy atmosphere, as rugged-up enthusiasts had the pleasure of being musically entranced by Sara Macliver and Ian Munro. One could immediately feel the collaboration and rapport between these two
