The four movements have contrasting moods and evocations yet tie together seamlessly into a work revealing Mendelssohn’s premier qualities: passion\, tenderness and civilised wit. \n\nFriday 16 December 2022 6pm; MRC\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $37 ($30 Concession)

SUMMARY:Great Performers: Miriam Allan & Erin Helyard
DESCRIPTION:Miriam Allan is one of the world’s leading sopranos. Her tonal beauty and breathtaking technique have been enjoyed across the world. Eminently suited to the chamber format\, Miriam’s voice is light\, clear and delivered with a groundswell of emotional depth. \nMelbourne Recital Centre’s 2022 Artist in Residence and Artistic Director of Pinchgut Opera Erin Helyard is acclaimed as an inspiring conductor and a virtuosic and expressive performer of the harpsichord and fortepiano. He is passionate about music of the past and the discourse between musicology and performance. \nTheir performance in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall for Melbourne Recital Centre’s Great Performers series takes audiences from Haydn’s triumphs in London to Schubert’s crowning as the ‘Prince of Song’ in Vienna. Haydn\, Mozart\, Josepha Auernhammer\, and Schubert were all weavers of song. For them\, lyricism was the foundation of their art. Mozart once commented to a singer friend that ‘melody is the essence of music’ and nowhere is this more evident than in the lieder and piano works of Schubert\, the songs of Haydn\, and the keyboard works of Mozart and his talented protégé Josepha Auernhammer. \n\nWednesday 21 September 2022 7.30pm; Melbourne Recital Centre\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $115\nA Reserve $99 ($87 Concession)\nB Reserve $85 ($67 Concession)\nC Reserve $50\nD Reserve $39 \nExperience this concert online with Australian Digital Concert Hall too.

SUMMARY:Ensemble 642 – The Art of Melancholy
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of human emotion with compassion and humour.\nAbout the artists\nEnsemble 642 are leaders of the next generation of Antipodean musicians dedicated to early music and historically informed performance practice. Acclaimed for their spellbinding performances\, they bring the emotion and spirit of the Baroque to life. \nAbout the concert\nProgram\nHenry Purcell O solitude\, my sweetest choice \nWilliam Byrd Pavana ‘The Earl of Salisbury’ \nHenry Purcell Cease\, anxious world\, Z.362 \nHenry Lawes I’m sick of love (To the Sycamore) \nJohn Banister Give me my lute \nWilliam Byrd The Bells \nJohn Dowland In darkness let me dwell; Preludium in G minor; Sorrow\, sorrow\, stay \nWilliam Lawes Harp Consort No.8 in G ‘Pavan’ \nNicholas Lanier The Dying Lover \nHenry Purcell Oedipus\, Z.583: Musick for a While \nOn plucked string instruments\, the bond between music and musician is as intricate as that of a singer and their vocal cords. With hands touching the strings\, the stakes are high to hit each note with precision\, and the rewards of everything going to plan are heard in intimate detail. \nThe expression of melancholy has a distinctive and intoxicating voice in the music of Baroque England. Whether provoked by the pains of a love lost or welcomed in the pursuit of contemplation\, it inspired some of the most intimate and affecting music from composers such as Henry Purcell\, Henry Lawes\, and John Dowland. \nThe confessional genre of English lute song provided the perfect mode to explore this emotion with compassion and humour. The interiority of this music speaks to us today as more than ever we search for space and stillness in a restless\, over-stimulated world. \nInternationally acclaimed\, ARIA-nominated baritone David Greco joins the enchanting plucked strings of Ensemble 642 in this program exploring the unique pleasures of melancholy in English music from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. \n\nWednesday 20 July 2022 6pm; MRC Primrose Potter salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

SUMMARY:Quercus Trio: Hall of Mirrors
DESCRIPTION:Australian composers who cross continents.\nAbout the artists\nQuercus is a new Melbourne-based horn trio\, showcasing the distinctive combination of horn\, violin and piano. Interested in championing contemporary and Australian works\, their diverse and dynamic experience melds to create something truly special. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon shifts focus to Australian composers who cross continents\, with strong roots both here and abroad. Beginning with a piece from Melbournian Don Banks written for the 1962 Edinburgh Festival\, the jazz-influenced\, loosely serialist horn-trio captures light moods. \nRoger Smalley’s Horn Trio is a little-known gem of the literature.

This performance will see the trio celebrate the musical entanglement of the Schumanns with Johannes Brahms in a specially curated concert of duos and piano trios. \nAbout the concert\nOpening with the spirited Scherzo from the F-A-E Sonata\, based on a musical cryptogram of the motto ‘Frei aber einsam’ or ‘Free but lonely’\, the movement reveals a young composer already at the height of his craft. Moving into Clara Schumann’s Three Romances\, composed for the violin virtuoso\, Joseph Joachim with whom Clara had a wildly successful musical partnership. \nRobert Schumann’s self-styled characters of Florestan and Eusebius are brought to the fore in his Adagio and Allegro for cello and piano – swinging from introversion and tenderness one moment to passionate extroversion the next and finishing with the F major\, a work of idyllic generosity and collegiality.

It appeals to lovers of chamber music\, literature and those who can appreciate the lyrical impulse which has inspired composers like Gerald Finzi and Calvin Bowman to make art song a central focus of their output. This radiant song recital presents two rare opportunities – to hear celebrated Australian vocal music composer Bowman perform his own music\, and to hear an English tenor singing some of the finest English art song of the 20th century. Profound themes of nature and loss are traversed through Finzi’s complete cycle to poetry by Thomas Hardy\, and a varied selection of much-admired songs by Bowman.

SUMMARY:Anja & Zlatna: Dance until the Sunrise
DESCRIPTION:“Dance Until the Sunrise” is the theme of Anja & Zlatna’s next mesmerising performance. Passionate Romani\, energising Balkan\, and romantic Mediterranean rhythms will move you in your seats – and possibly out of them – with Anja & Zlatna’s unique palette of instrumentation\, evoking hints of the Middle East\, and flavours of the Baroque. \nAnja & Zlatna is a vibrant ensemble which fuses the beauty of traditional melodies from the Balkans and beyond with 17th-century practices and improvisations. Its unique sound is due in part to its original approach to instrumentation featuring the harpsichord. Sometimes one hears guitars\, cimbalom\, accordion kaval or ney. Vocalists Anja & Zlatna vary their techniques from traditional European to the Bulgarian chest voice and unexpected percussive timbres offer new musical delights.

SUMMARY:SCHUBERT: GRAND DUO
DESCRIPTION:KIAZMA Piano Duo brings together the talents of pianists Tomoe Kawabata and Aura Go. \nEqually at home in twopiano and four-hand repertoire from the Baroque to the present day\, KIAZMA shares the unique combination of intimacy\, intricacy and dynamism that each genre has to offer. \nAtop the summit of Schubert’s unparalleled achievements in the four-hand repertoire sits the remarkable Sonata in C ‘Grand Duo’ of 1824. KIAZMA Piano Duo gives audiences a rare opportunity to experience this epic work\, one of the most glorious and significant neglected works by a major composer\, in concert. The sublime Variations in A-flat on an Original Theme was composed in the same year\, and\, together with the Grand Duo\, mark Schubert’s rediscovery of a sense of “happiness and peace”.

SUMMARY:Dvořák: Stabat Mater\, Op.58
DESCRIPTION:Dvořák: Stabat Mater\, Op.58\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\, Melbourne Recital Centre\n\nAntonín Dvořák: Stabat Mater\, Op.58Sunday 24 February 2019  10.00am\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\, Melbourne Recital Centre \n  \nAndrew Wailes\, conductor\nMerlyn Quaife AM\, soprano\nEmily Bauer-Jones\, contralto\nMichael Lapiña\, tenor \nMarkus Matheis\, baritone\nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir\nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Orchestra  \nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (no interval) \n  \nThe 3MBS Fine Music Melbourne 2019 Dvořák Marathon brings Australia’s finest classical musicians together for an immersive all-day experience celebrating the works of Antonín Dvořák. \nAcross six concerts in a single day\, the 3MBS Dvořák Marathon program celebrates some of the best and lesser-known chamber music including a vast collection of solo piano works. \nA highlight performance will be the magnificent Stabat Mater\, performed by the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra in the opening concert of the marathon\, conducted by Andrew Wailes. They will be joined by and international cast of four superb soloists: the Australian soprano Merlyn Quaife AM\, British contralto Emily Bauer-Jones\, the Filipino-Australian tenor Michael Lapiñaand German baritone Markus Matheis. \nOther performances include The Australian Children’s Choir\, Corpus Medicorum\, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra\, Stefan Cassomenos\, Calvin Bowman\, Wilma Smith\, Sutherland Trio and 2018 Yehudi Menuhin International Competition winner Christian Li. Making their Marathon debuts are the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) and Orava Quartet. \n  \nABOUT DVOŘÁK’S STABAT MATER\nStabat Mater Op. 58\, for soli\, choir and orchestra by the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák must surely rank as one of the finest and most most emotionally–charged choral works of the 19th century. \nThe work was sketched in 1876 and completed in 1877\, composed as Dvořák’s reaction to the tragic death of his daughter\, Josefa. The sketch was dedicated to František Hušpauer “as a souvenir to the friend of his young days.” However\, Dvořák was forced to postpone the orchestration of the work due to his other personal and professional obligations. He returned to the final stylisation of the work in 1877\, when\, almost unbelievably\, his two surviving children died within a short time of each other. \nThe definitive version of the score was written between the beginning of October and 13 November 1877 in Prague\, and contains some of the most heart-achingly beautiful music of Dvořák’s entire musical output. It is a melodically beautiful and deeply affecting piece\, which uses the superb vocal\, choral and orchestral writing to convey the dramatic and humanistic verses of the Stabat Mater with a great sense of gravitas and profundity. The Stabat Mater is a famous 13th-century Christian hymn to Mary\, which portrays her suffering as Jesus Christ’s mother during his crucifixion. Given the circumstances of this composition\, it is little wonder that Dvořák’s setting is considered one of the finest examples of any composer’s setting of these tragic and powerful words.\nThe Stabat Mater was Dvořák’s very first work on a religious theme. It is divided into ten individual parts; only the first and the last part are thematically connected. The first performance took place on 23 December 1880 at the concert of the Association of Musical Artists in Prague. The performers included the operatic ensemble of the Czech Provisional Theatre\, under the conductor Adolf Čech. The composer Leoš Janáček conducted the work a year and half later\, on 2 April 1882\, in Brno. Performances abroad (Budapest\, London) soon ensued and the work quickly established itself as a true masterpiece. \nDon’t miss this chance to hear this magnificent work performed by one of Melbourne’s finest choirs\, and four superb Australian soloists\, under the baton of Andrew Wailes. \nThe Australian premiere of Antonín Dvořák’s Stabat Mater\, Op.58 was given by The Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra  on 29 September 1885 at the Melbourne Town Hall\, conducted by David Lee.  \n  \nSingle Tickets\nPremium $75\nStandard $34 ($25 Concession)\nFamily $70 \nA Transaction Fee between $5.50 and $8 applies to orders made online and by phone.
