SUMMARY:Musica Viva Australia: Trio Isimsiz
DESCRIPTION:Trio Isimsiz perform piano works by Schubert and Brahms alongside a striking new work from Francisco Coll.\nWhat’s in a name? Trio Isimsiz’s name comes from the Turkish for ‘without name’ or ‘anonymous’. In other words\, for Trio Isimsiz\, it is all about the music. \nPianist Erdem Mısırlıoğlu\, violinist Pablo Hernán Benedí\, and cellist Edvard Pogossian met at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2008. They’ve since toured China and Argentina\, and performed at venues such as Tivoli Concert Hall and Snape Maltings. \nTrio Isimsiz will perform two giants of the piano trio repertoire. Schubert’s Piano Trio No.1 is a chamber work of grand scale\, yet full of intimacy and lightness. Brahms’ Piano Trio is\, in the words of cellist Edvard Pogossian\, ‘the greatest piece of all time… filled with passion\, love\, nostalgia\, and loneliness.’ Tucked between these masterpieces is the Australian premiere of Francisco Coll’s inventive Piano Trio\, hailed as ‘ear-beguiling and starkly inventive’ by The Strad. \nThree outstanding musicians\, three individual voices\, one ensemble. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday 07 October 2025 – 7:00pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval). Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nMRC Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nTICKETS: Standard & Concession \nPremium $153 ($135 Concession); A reserve $125 ($110 Concession); B reserve $92 ($80 Concession); C reserve $65 ($56 Concession) \nUnder 40 A–C reserve $49; Student Premium $135; A reserve 110; B reserve $80; C reserve $56

SUMMARY:Musica Viva Australia: Mozart's Clarinet
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Invention.\nVienna\, 1785. Johann Friedrich Schink is blown away by a new work featuring the clarinet and basset horn. ‘Oh\, what a glorious effect it made – glorious and great\, excellent and sublime!’ he writes of Mozart’s Serenade ‘Gran Partita’. \nEighteenth-century Vienna was alive with musical inventions. The clarinet\, basset horn\, and fortepiano were expanding the possibilities for composers like Mozart and the young Ludwig van Beethoven. \nPerformers and early music scholars Nicola Boud\, Simon Cobcroft\, and Erin Helyard bring their infectious enthusiasm for 18th-century innovation to the much-loved chamber music of these trailblazing composers. \nTravel back to the future with three dynamic artists to hear these glorious works as if for the first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday 22 July 2025 – 7:00pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).
