SUMMARY:Selby & Friends | From Romance to Reckoning - Southern Highlands
DESCRIPTION:This concert opens with an extraordinary Suite by eight accomplished Australian composers from every state and territory. Entitled Fire Dances and commissioned by the ABC\, it follows the distinctive voices from across the country to create a narrative arc that journeys through the trajectory of a bushfire\, from the haze of distant fires through the whirling terror of engulfing flames to meditations on regeneration and regrowth. \nTo accompany this Suite are two gorgeous works by Robert Schumann whose own narrative changed the way in which music was understood. The iconic Trio by Mendelssohn completes the story with joie de vivre. Returning favourite\, Natalie Chee\, joins young\, brilliant Australian cellist Richard Narroway\, who\, with Kathy\, bring this brilliant concert to life! \nARTISTS\nKathryn Selby – Piano\nNatalie Chee – Violin\nRichard Narroway – Cello \nPROGRAM\nNat Bartsch\, Olivia Bettina Davies\, Natalie Williams\, Maria Grenfell\, Hilary Kleinig\, Elena Kats-Chernin\, Cathy Applegate & Isabella Gerometta – Fire Dances Suite (2020)\nRobert Schumann – Three Romances\, Op. 94 (1849\, arr.

SUMMARY:Australian Haydn Ensemble | Divine Bohemians - Bowral
DESCRIPTION:Haydn\, Richter\, Mysliveček & Beethoven\nComposers hailing from the now proud Czech Republic were surprisingly numerous in the 18th century and\, while far from household names today\, had a significant impact on some that are. These Bohemians were neither the free’n’easy chums who kissed tiny frozen hands in garrets nor the future pictorial romantics devoted to the fields and forests of their homeland. No\, these guys skipped down the steps of their provincial alma maters straight onto express carriages bound for Austria\, Germany or Italy\, and never looked back. \nUnder their Germanified aliases\, Franz Xavier Richter and Paul Wranitzky made good in Europe; the first as violinist/composer at the Mannheim court and the latter as Vienna’s most respected conductor (he premiered Beethoven’s 1st). In Venice then Rome\, Josef Mysliveček so out-Italianed the Italians in spirited temperament (and libido) that they abandoned efforts to pronounce his surname and dubbed him il divino boemo (the divine bohemian). A dear friend and mentor to the young Mozart\, their relationship touchingly survived the divino’s Lucifer-like fall from grace after a post-operative disaster left him with a Voldemortian visage and careening career. \nThe ensemble offers a tantalising degustation drawn from these expats’ insanely prolific works; a fascinating Richter quartet from 1757 that pre-dates Haydn’s patent on the form\, a sweet palate cleansing Mysliveček Larghetto worthy of his (less nasally challenged) protégée followed by a thrilling and top-notch late quartet by Wranitzky. Love at first listen is guaranteed\, so fear not! \nThere are old favourites too\, by those who bore no trace of backwater mud on their boots\, and were more than happy to wallow in Bohemian loot. The province’s Prince\, Josef Franz of Lobkowitz was a sweet gentleman whose “foolish love of music” led to the creation of The Creation and many Beethoven masterworks\, including his set of quartets Op.18. \nThe delightful 3rd of these is actually Ludwig’s first foray into the form perfected by his then aging teacher. Deceptively simple\, you’d never think it would trigger in Haydn a fit of jealousy and self-doubt that led to his (contemporaneous) Op. 77 falling four works short of the six paid for by the prince. In his second to last quartet\, you’ll find no evidence of waning powers\, only consummate skill unmatched even by the brilliant upstart waiting in the wings. His short-changed patron could hardly complain upon hearing its sublime Adagio\, Schubertian Menuetto and swirling folkdance finale. \nCzech this one out. \nARTISTS \nSkye McIntosh\, violin\nMatthew Greco\, violin\nKarina Schmitz\, viola\nRafael Font\, viola \nPROGRAM \nHAYDN\nString Quartet Op. 77 No. 1 in G major \nF.X. RICHTER\nString Quartet Op. 5 No. 5b in G minor \nMYSLIVEČEK\nString Quartet Op. 3 No. 6 in A major 2nd movement Larghetto \nWRANITZKY\nString Quartet Op. 49 in D minor \nBEETHOVEN\nString Quartet Op. 18 No. 3 in D major \n\nCONCERT DATES \nWednesday 29 July\, 7pm\, Melbourne Recital Centre\nThursday 30 July\, 7pm\, Gandel Hall\, National Gallery of Australia\, Canberra\nFriday 31 July\, 7pm\, Berry Uniting Church Hall\, Berry\nSaturday 1 August\, 4pm\, Bowral Memorial Hall\, Bowral\nSunday 2 August\, 4pm\, The Neilson\, ACO on the Pier\, Walsh Bay

SUMMARY:Selby & Friends | Bush\, Borscht & Bonn - Southern Highlands
DESCRIPTION:Listening to Beethoven’s own wonderful piano trio arrangement of his famous Septet\, one gets a real sense of what it must have been like to desperately want to play something at home you had only heard played by many artists publicly.\nThis tradition of changing the forces to accommodate everyday folk was a prime method for earning a living for composers of note before concert stages became universally popular. The piano trio was a seminal ensemble for sharing in the home and became a vital source of inspiration for composers across the globe\, including our own Ross Edwards and the great Russian Anton Arensky. \nS&F welcomes back the vivacious virtuoso Susie Park and popular cellist Julian Smiles who join Kathy in a program that encompasses music from far-flung Australia\, Russia and of course Vienna by way of Bonn. \nARTISTS\nKathryn Selby – Piano\nSusie Park – Violin\nJulian Smiles – Cello \nPROGRAM\nRoss Edwards – Piano Trio for Piano\, Violin and Violoncello (1998)\nAnton Arensky – Piano Trio No. 2 in F minor\, Op. 73 (1905)\nLudwig van Beethoven – Trio for Violin\, Cello and Piano in E-flat major\, Op. 38 (1799-1800\, arr. Beethoven of Septet Op. 20) \n\nCONCERTS \nFri 28 Aug\, 7:00 pm — Canberra\, Fairfax Theatre\, National Gallery of Australia (NGA)\nSat 29 Aug\, 4:00 pm — Bowral\, Bowral Memorial Hall\nSun 30 Aug\, 2:15 pm — Turramurra\, Turramurra Uniting Church\nWed 2 Sep\, 2:00 pm — Melbourne\, Primrose Potter Salon\, Melbourne Recital Centre\nWed 2 Sep\, 7:00 pm — Melbourne\, Primrose Potter Salon\, Melbourne Recital Centre\nSun 6 Sep\, 2:30 pm — Adelaide\, Concordia College Chapel\, 45 Cheltenham Street\nMon 7 Sep\, 7:00 pm — Sydney\, City Recital Hall

SUMMARY:Selby & Friends | First Things First - Southern Highlands

S&F is thrilled to have them both back again\, especially in this blockbuster program dedicated to the chamber music of the mighty Johannes Brahms. \nIncredibly soulful\, melodic\, satisfying and full of the virtuosity and mastery for which Brahms is revered\, Kathy looks forward to joining her esteemed colleagues for this brilliant and unusual season program with two old friends. \nARTISTS \nKathryn Selby – Piano\nAndrew Haveron – Violin\nTimo-Veikko Valve – Cello \nPROGRAM \nJohannes Brahms – Sonata for Violin and Piano No.1 in G major\, Op. 78 (1878-79)\nJohannes Brahms – Sonata for Cello and Piano No.1 in E minor\, Op. 38 (1865)\nJohannes Brahms – Piano Trio No. 1 in B major\, Op. 8 (1854) \n\nCONCERTS \nFri 23 Oct\, 7:00pm | Canberra | Fairfax Theatre\, National Gallery of Australia\nSat 24 Oct\, 4:00pm | Bowral | Bowral Memorial Hall\nSun 25 Oct\, 2:15pm | Turramurra | Turramurra Uniting Church\nMon 26 Oct\, 7:00pm | Sydney | City Recital Hall Sydney\nMon 2 Nov\, 3:00pm | Melbourne | Primrose Potter Salon\, Melbourne Recital Centre\nMon 2 Nov\, 7:00pm | Melbourne | Primrose Potter Salon\, Melbourne Recital Centre\nTue 3 Nov\, 7:00pm | Adelaide | Concordia College Chapel

SUMMARY:Australian Haydn Ensemble | Haydn's Oxford - Southern Highlands
DESCRIPTION:Haydn’s London Symphonies: Part 1\nPart 1! How enticing. If a CD revival eventually eclipses the current vinyl vogue\, can we look forward to a 300th birthday /Brisbane Olympics “boxed set” of all 12 by 2032? \nViolinist and impresario Peter Salomon was the guardian angel (slash shrewd businessman) who put Haydn on a boat to London after a younger “less enlightened” (ok\, philistine) Esterházy sacked all his musicians and kept the composer on for domestic duties. English audiences went wild\, symphonies poured out and sterling poured in but these “tours” represented a genuine sea-change in music history: the fans were middle to upper-middle class music lovers\, not diversion-seeking aristocrats. And in the absence of a foyer CD (let alone vinyl) stall\, they were all ravenous to listen again at home. So… you guessed it\, Salomon added a lucrative by-line in downsized arrangements for amateur parlour use. \nAs AHE listeners will know\, these versions\, often for string sextet and flute\, are a long way from pale imitations: newly imagined for the medium\, they are actually a refreshing listen when compared to the brass and drum heavy “warhorse” school of orchestral playing. \nAlright\, pedants put up your quills: we know No. 92 The Oxford is not officially a Londoner. It premiered in Paris\, but such was Salomon’s haste to get Haydn his doctorate\, he didn’t have time to write any new ones and so white-lied in his exam by recycling his most recent\, sweetened by some palindromic canons for the egg-headed panellists. Had he stopped at 92\, it would be a summation of his art. The Rossini-like finale is especially fabulous: the hero\, a scurrying staccato melody\, is subjected to all manner of comic indignities; buffeted by giddying chromatic winds and turned every which way but loose. \nNo. 95 is the only one that threatened to disappoint the aficionados (What? Minor key? No slow intro?) but\, statistically\, major thirds crowd out the tragic E flats and the sun-drenched final movement is as gloriously contrapuntal as the one that closes Mozart’s Jupiter. \nNo. 103 in E flat needs no introduction (but of course has one; “audience we value your feedback”). It’s simply one of the greatest symphonies of the era. The splendid finale is an epic tapestry tightly woven from a simple short horn call motif. How will they pull off the drumroll though? Wait and see. \nAn exciting\, dramatic and thoroughly satisfying season’s end. \n3 down and 7 to go\, roll on Parts 2\, 3 and 4. \nARTISTS \nSkye McIntosh\, violin\nMatthew Greco\, violin\nKarina Schmitz\, viola\nRafael Font\, viola\nDaniel Yeadon\, cello\nPippa Macmillan\, double bass\nMikaela Oberg\, flute \nPROGRAM \nHAYDN\nSymphony No. 92 in G major Oxford arr.

SUMMARY:Selby & Friends | Creation of the World - Bowral
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWith 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. \nARTISTS\nKathryn Selby – Piano\nLouise Turnbull – Violin\nKristian Winther – Violin\nAriel Postmus – Viola\nMiles Mullin-Chivers – Cello \nPROGRAM\nW.A.
