SUMMARY:Omega Ensemble | Inner Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Mirroring the composer’s own inner turmoil\, Franz Schubert’s stirring String Quartet No. 14\, “Death and the Maiden” has long captured the imagination of listeners with its thrilling climaxes\, tortured freneticism and darkly romantic source material.  \nIn an expanded setting for chamber orchestra arranged by the formidable Gustav Mahler\, this seminal work leads a program that ventures into intimate inner worlds\, exploring shifting terrains of emotion and memory.  \nOpening with John Corigliano’s tender Soliloquy — an elegy of reflection and restraint\, carrying the weight of memory while seeking solace in beauty and stillness — this performance also includes the Australian premiere of Jessie Montgomery’s Grammy Award-winning Rounds for piano and strings\, starting with a single repeating idea that spirals into intricate motion.  \nIn a world premiere\, Australian composer Paul Stanhope brings lyrical depth and human vitality to his first Clarinet Concerto written in his trademark style of poetic narrative and musical invention.  \nProgram\nJohn Corigliano\nSoliloquy \nFranz Schubert\nString Quartet No. 14\, “Death and the Maiden”\nArranged by Gustav Mahler \nJessie Montgomery\nRounds\nAustralian Premiere \nPaul Stanhope\nNew commission\nWorld Premiere

SUMMARY:Musica Viva Australia | Nicolas Altstaedt & Thomas Dunford – Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:In the intricate weave of sounds that make up a baroque ensemble\, the lute is central. It’s fitting\, then\, that French-American lutenist Thomas Dunford is at the centre of some of the most exciting early music-making of the moment. A regular collaborator with everyone from Les Arts Florissants to his own band of all-stars\, the Jupiter Ensemble\, he has been dubbed the ‘Eric Clapton of the lute’ by BBC Music Magazine. It is with great delight that Musica Viva Australia presents Thomas Dunford’s Australian debut. \nThomas Dunford shares the stage with multi-award-winning cellist Nicolas Altstaedt. Since Altstaedt first performed for Musica Viva Australia – can it really be a decade ago? – his star has continued to soar\, as soloist\, as conductor and as artistic catalyst to festivals and ensembles worldwide. It is a precious treat to hear him in recital. \nWhat will these two originals create when they step on stage together? Anything could happen. But you can expect to be delighted by the genial invention of Louis XIV favourite Marais\, dazzled by the virtuosic riffs of his rival Forqueray\, and consoled by Bach’s Cello Suites Nos. 1 and 5. Expect the unexpected too\, as they perform music closer to our time by Henri Duparc\, Arvo Pärt and more.
