SUMMARY:Ensemble Liaison & Friends:  Echoes of Vienna
DESCRIPTION:Ensemble Liaison opens its 2026 series with Echoes of Vienna.\nA program reflecting the rich musical currents that flowed through the cultural crossroads of fin-de-siècle Vienna. \nThe evening begins with Sergei Prokofiev’s spirited Overture on Hebrew Themes\, written for Russian-Jewish musicians in New York and drawing on folk melodies whose roots stretch back to Eastern Europe. The program also features the world premiere of The Drowned World by Australian composer Stuart Greenbaum\, a striking contemporary work inspired by the novel of J. G. Ballard and written for Ensemble Liaison. \nAnton Webern’s youthful Langsamer Satz reveals the composer before his radical modernism\, steeped in the lush expressive language of late-Romantic Vienna. The concert concludes with the richly lyrical Trio in D minor by Alexander Zemlinsky\, a work of sweeping Romantic intensity that was endorsed by Brahms and captures the emotional world of Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century. \nEnsemble Liaison is delighted to present this concert with their dear friend\, violinist Sophie Rowell together with the talented students of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. \nSergei Prokofiev Overture on Hebrew Themes  \nStuart Greenbaum The Drowned World (world premiere) \nAnton Webern Langsamer Satz for String Quartet (1905) \nAlexander von Zemlinsky Trio in D minor Op.3 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 09 April 2026 – 7:00pm \n\n\nDuration: TBC.

SUMMARY:Ensemble Liaison with Jack Liebeck
DESCRIPTION:Violin superstar Jack Liebeck joins Ensemble Liaison for a program of dramatic contrasts.\nEnsemble Liaison welcomes international violin superstar Jack Liebeck to join them for this program of dramatic contrasts.

Of note is that both the clarinetist and the violinist have to play two instruments each as the work accelerates to a frantic conclusion.

Ultimately a work that moves on with life-affirming gratitude. \nTo conclude\, another dance\, this time by American John Mackey. He writes\, ‘My music is about tune and rhythm\, and rhythm is the most important thing. Breakdown Tango has a virtuosic beginning and ending\, with a peculiar tango sandwiched in the middle.’ \n\nSaturday 15 June 2024 7pm; Hanson Dyer Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 50 mins (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $55 ($45 Concession)
