August 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:50 pm
$45 – $55Schubert’s monumental Octet and Chopin’s iconic Funeral March.
Ensemble Liaison expands its forces to perform Schubert’s monumental Octet in F Major. In this second concert of 2024, they will be joined by special guests Dale Barltrop, Carla Blackwood, Jill Griffiths, Lyndon Watts, and talented students from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. Inspired by Beethoven’s immensely popular Septet, experience Schubert’s transcendent melodies, heard across the colourful array of string and wind instruments in an exciting large-scale chamber music form.
Opening the concert, Ensemble Liaison’s own, Timothy Young will feature in Chopin’s iconic and enigmatic Piano Sonata No.2. Considered one of the great masterworks of the Romantic period, the third movement is the world’s most famous funeral march, a work still used widely today in celebration of life passed.
