SUMMARY:Songmakers Australia and Polyphonic Voices: Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle
DESCRIPTION:Neither small nor especially solemn\, the ironically titled ‘Petite Messe Solennelle’ is the last major work of the 19th century Italian composer Gioachino Rossini\, better known both then and now as an exponent of the secular opera buffa. Rossini himself queried on the final page of the manuscript: ‘Have I just written sacred music\, or rather\, sacrilegious music?’ \nWhile he did later orchestrate the piece\, the composer was known to prefer this original chamber version\, scored unusually for piano\, harmonium\, four solo singers and small chorus\, which brings the theatrical flair and colour of his operatic works to the sacred text of the Latin mass. \nSongmakers Australia\nSoprano | Merlyn Quaife\nMezzo | Christina Wilson\nTenor | Christopher Watson (guest artist)\nBass | Nicholas Dinopoulos\nPiano | Andrea Katz \nPolyphonic Voices\nArtistic Director | Michael Fulcher \nHarmonium | Donald Nicolson \n\nSaturday 12 October 2024 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM (UTC+11)\n\nTrinity College Chapel\, University of Melbourne; 100 Royal Parade\, Parkville VIC 3052 \nTICKETS: $20 – $50

SUMMARY:Songmakers Australia: The Beautiful Miller’s Daughter
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 200 years of Die Schöne Müllerin.\nUnique in the musical landscape of Australia\, Songmakers Australia brings together some of the country’s leading singers and instrumentalists in a diverse repertoire comprising some of the pinnacles of all chamber music. \nUnder the artistic patronage of Graham Johnson\, pianist Andrea Katz teams with soprano Merlyn Quaife\, mezzosoprano Christina Wilson\, tenor Brenton Spiteri and bass-baritone Nicholas Dinopoulos in inspired programs that feature a dynamic interplay of song and chamber music. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon celebrates 200 years of Die schöne Müllerin (The Fair Maid of the Mill)\, a song cycle based on 20 poems written by Wilhem Müller. \n‘I feel myself to be the most unhappy and wretched creature in the world. Imagine a man whose health will never be right again\, and who in sheer despair over this ever makes things worse and worse\, instead of better; imagine a man\, I say\, whose most brilliant hopes have perished\, to whom the happiness of love and friendship have nothing to offer but pain… My peace is gone\, my heart is sore\, I shall find it never and nevermore… I may well sing now\, for each night\, on retiring to bed\, I hope I may not wake again…’ With these poignant words Schubert described his state of mind after writing Die schöne Müllerin. \n\nWednesday 19 July 2023 6pm; MRC\, Primrose Potter Salon;  Duration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $37 ($30 Concession)

SUMMARY:Songmakers Australia – A Crown of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Love is the greatest inspiration.\nUnique in the musical landscape of Australia\, Songmakers Australia brings together some of the country’s leading singers and instrumentalists in a diverse repertoire comprising some of the pinnacles of all chamber music. \nUnder the artistic patronage of Graham Johnson\, pianist Andrea Katz teams with soprano Merlyn Quaife\, mezzosoprano Christina Wilson\, tenor Brenton Spiteri and bass-baritone Nicholas Dinopoulos in inspired programs that feature a dynamic interplay of song and chamber music. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents passionate works from Wagner and Berg. Love is the greatest inspiration for poetry and songs. ‘To the Angel who has lifted me so high’ – with those words Wagner dedicated his only song cycle to his muse\, poetess and paramour\, Mathilde Wesendonk. \nBerg’s Seven Early Songs were also inspired by the love in his life\, his wife Helene. Emotionally and musically attached to the great German Romantic style\, it reflects Berg’s obsession with driving back to the beginning. \n\nTuesday 21 March 2023 6pm; Primrose Potter Salon; Duration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $37 ($30 Concession)
