About the artists

Benaud Trio is one of Australia’s finest and most-loved chamber ensembles. Since coming together more than 15 years ago, they have established themselves as formidable performers of the major repertoire, works by Australian composers and are well-known for their outrageous pop-inspired encores.

About the concert

Beginning with a piece written for Benaud Trio, Mark Isaacs’ adaptation of Closer is given his famous classical-jazz treatment. Adelaide based Luke Altman’s Holy Fools provides a sense of calm and continuity. Finishing with Piazzolla’s satisfying take on Vivaldi’s epic Four Seasons, The Four Seasons of Buenos Aries is a fiery and sensuous finale.
