Selby & Friends – Back from the Brink

Selby & Friends opens its 2022 Twilight Series with Back from the Brink

Piano Trio Op.150 (1938)

Maurice Ravel
Piano Trio in A minor (1914)

Artists

Dene Olding violin
Clancy Newman cello

About the artists

Formed in large part from a missed concert in 2021, this concert introduces the great American composer, Amy Beach, who wrote a strong rebuttal to comments made by Dvořák about women in music and who became a national symbol of women’s creative power. Ravel represents one whose own path fused modern elements with the baroque, classicism and jazz. We welcome our good friend, the brilliant and versatile cellist Clancy Newman back to Selby & Friends where he and Australian icon Dene Olding will perform together for the first time.
