Tempo Rubato Sunday Mattutino: Emma Sullivan and Stewart Kelly

Our Sunday Mattutino series takes place on the third Sunday of every month at 11am.

Tickets are $25 each, and released a month before. It is a single sitting of performance, until about 12 midday. The series is curated by us and tickets include a glass of sherry, dry or sweet, after the concert. Or an orange juice. Plus something to nibble.

Emma Sullivan, Double Bass and Stewart Kelly, Piano

Melbourne musician and educator Dr Emma Sullivan is the principal double bassist of Melbourne Chamber Orchestra and a regular casual musician with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. As a chamber musician, Emma has had the privilege of performing with such ensembles as Melbourne Chamber Players and Inventi Ensemble and at festivals including Music by the Springs and Port Fairy Spring Music Festival. A passionate educator, Emma relishes the opportunity to share her love of the double bass with her students.
