SUMMARY:Anna Stegmann – Fantasy & Design

She a professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London\, where she teaches next generation recorder-professionals. Known for her captivating stage presence\, her enthusiasm and virtuosity are ever-present elements in her live concerts. \nAbout the concert\nHer performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents Fantasy & Design – a program exploring two seemingly opposing concepts.

These two concepts unite and challenge one another\, offering an artistic and musical antithesis. \nAnna curates a captivating and entertaining time travel through 800 years of recorder repertoire performed by one of the foremost recorder soloists of recent times\, traversing music from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century. \n\nMonday 23 January 2023 6pm; MRC Primrose Potter salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $25 ($20 Concession)

SUMMARY:Affinity Quartet – Perpetual Motion
DESCRIPTION:A stirring display of emotion and musicality.\nAbout the artists\nAffinity Quartet represents the next generation of Australia’s chamber music stars\, having developed its craft in Europe to critical acclaim. It brings home an inspired approach to music-making\, matched by its adventurous spirit as a string quartet for and of today. \nAbout the concert\nAffinity Quartet opens their program with Haydn’s 31st String Quartet\, the Op.33 No.1 in B minor. Following a break of ten years from composing string quartets\, Haydn describes his Op.33 set as having a ‘new and special’ style. The key of B minor itself is unusual – a choice that signals the exploratory and unconventional direction of Haydn’s quartet writing in the 1780s. \nMendelssohn’s sixth and final string quartet was composed just two months before his death in 1847. In this 30 minute work\, subtitled Requiem for Fanny\, Mendelssohn turns to the intimacy of string quartet writing to grapple with the sudden death of his only sister and closest confidante\, producing one of his most musically incisive and arresting works. \nAustralian composer and violist Matt Laing\, describes his new work for Affinity Quartet as ‘an abstract still life in perpetual motion\, where even the smallest\, stillest things have a hyperactive inner life’. \n\nThursday 17 November 2022 6pm; Melbourne recital Centre\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

SUMMARY:Firebird Trio – London Calling
DESCRIPTION:A captivating musical snapshot of London spanning three centuries.\n\n\n\n\nFirebird Trio has performed nationwide to critical acclaim\, with a vibrancy of imagination that echoes its name\, bringing energy\, colour and splendour to their live experiences. A city renowned for its artistic wealth\, London serves as inspiration for Firebird Trio in this captivating musical snapshot spanning three centuries. \nAbout the concert\nBeginning with Joseph Haydn’s Piano Trio in A\, the piece reveals the energy and optimism of his time in London at the behest of Johann Salomon\, the German violinist and impresario. Haydn was able to establish himself securely in this prestigious artistic centre – a truly fruitful endeavour. \nHenry Purcell’s Fantasia in B flat was originally scored for four viols in 1680\, but their performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents a counterpoint\, lovingly encased in the modern sound world of the piano trio. \nFinishing on Vaughan Williams’ Piano Quintet of 1904. An early work from one of England’s most recognisable composers\, the quintet makes full use of the timbral possibilities of a double bass. Rich with folk themes\, the hallmarks of Vaughan Williams personal style are brought to life in an enigmatic and powerful way. \nFirebird Trio welcome guest artists Simon Oswell\, Stuart Riley and Rhodri for the ‘Vaughan Williams Quintet’. \n\nWednesday 9 November 2022 6pm; MRC\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

Though Masters of the Chapel Royal\, both remained devout Roman Catholics throughout their lives. \nThis program culminates in the most famous English choral work of the sixteenth century\, Tallis’s forty-voice setting of Spem in alium nunquam habui. While the date and occasion of the motet’s composition remain a mystery\, dates from 1556 to 1573 have been conjectured\, along with possible connections with the Duke of Norfolk or the Earl of Arundel. \nThe technical mastery and architectural brilliance it exhibits have never been in doubt. This is one of music’s most dazzling masterpieces. Ensemble Gombert is joined by friends and former members to present this work as it was originally intended. \n\nMonday 7 November 2022 7.30pm; MRC Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $55 ($45 Concession)

SUMMARY:Greg Dikmans & David Macfarlane – Flute and Harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Two of Australia’s most respected interpreters of Baroque music.\nProgram\nFrançois Couperin\nConcert No.8 dans le goût Théatral \nGeorg Philipp Telemann\nFantasia No.7 in D\, TWV 40:8\nFantasia No.3 in B minor\, TWV 40:4 \nFrançois Couperin\nPassacaille\, No.9 from the Second Livre\, 8eme Ordre\nSecond livre de pièces de clavin\, huiteme ordre\, 9. Passacaille \nJohann Sebastian Bach\nSonata in B minor for flute and harpsichord\, BWV1030 \nAbout the artists\nTwo of Australia’s most respected interpreters of Baroque music will come together to explore a rich 18th century repertoire. Greg Dikmans is an internationally recognised performer of 18th century flutes and a practitioner of historical performance practices. David Macfarlane is an organist and harpsichordist whose playing style has received praise both in Australia and throughout Europe. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents Bach’s masterpiece for flute and obligato harpsichord\, the Sonata in B minor BWV 1030. The two instruments are treated as equal partners with seamlessly woven interplay providing a trio sonata texture. \nThe serene second movement makes full use of the lyricism of the flute. A fast-paced Presto opens with imitative entries before expanding into a driven\, rhythmically propulsive finale. A rare opportunity to hear one of Bach’s greatest works. Paired to this is the delightful Concert No. 8 in G major by François Couperin. An unambiguously charming piece. \nFinishing with the opportunity to revel in the baroque flute as a solo instrument showcased by two Telemann Fantasias\, alongside two Polonaises by the brilliantly gifted son of Bach\, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach\, which allow the harpsichord to display its gallant qualities. \nBooking Information\n\n\nFriday 22 April 2022 6pm \n\nPrimrose Potter Salon\n\nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nStandard $25 ($20 Concession)

SUMMARY:Mostly Mozart – Augmented Mozart & Fiery Boccherini
DESCRIPTION:Australian National Academy Of Music Ensemble (ANAM)\nTimo-Veikko Valve cello\, director \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart\nString Quartet in D minor\, K.421 – arr. for strings Valve \nLuigi Boccherini\nSymphony in D minor\, Op.12 No.4 (G. 506) ‘La Casa Del Diavolo’ \nAbout the concert\nTimo-Veikko Valve performs with and directs musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) in a program of augmented Mozart and fiery Boccherini as part of our Mostly Mozart series. \nBeginning with Mozart’s String Quartet No.15\, the piece elucidates the chromatic tendencies and hidden beauties that his compositions have endured. Finishing with what is undoubtedly Boccherini’s best-known composition\, Symphony No.4 in D minor is a piece of charm and refinement. A performance of epic proportion\, the sheer scale of musicality will stun and delight. \n‘I’ve always imagined that the drama and passion of Mozart’s string quartet K421 would benefit from a larger format. The music is incredibly operatic – it almost demands more than four characters to play it out. I can’t wait to reveal this new arrangement for a large ensemble in our Mostly Mozart concert in the beautiful Elisabeth Murdoch Hall!’ Timo-Veikko Valve \nAbout the artists\nPrincipal cello of the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) Timo-Veikko Valve is one of the most versatile musicians of his generation\, performing as a soloist\, chamber musician and orchestral leader on both modern and period instruments. The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) is dedicated to training exceptional young musicians\, creating alumni that work around the world.
