SUMMARY:Omega Ensemble: Chopin\, Kerry and Clara
DESCRIPTION:A Romantic concerto\, a world premiere quintet and a celebration of Clara Schumann \nProgram\n\nFrédéric Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor (arr. for Piano and String Quintet)\nGordon Kerry Clarinet Quintet [World Premiere] *\nClara Schumann Piano Trio in G minor \n*Commissioned by Omega Ensemble and supported by Kim Williams AM \nAbout The Music\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe supreme pianist-composer\, Chopin was in fact not the showman performer his virtuosic music would suggest\, instead preferring local salons to the grand concert halls of Paris. With Chopin at the piano\, the composer’s larger works\, including his two piano concertos\, were performed far more frequently in private with small ensembles than in public with large orchestras. \nChopin’s breathtaking first concerto is presented here in a beautiful arrangement for piano and string quintet that captures all the romance of the original. \nThis fiery work is accompanied by Clara Schumann’s emotional Piano Trio\, considered by many to be her most challenging work\, and the world premiere of a new Clarinet Quintet by award-winning Australian composer Gordon Kerry written for Artistic Director and Clarinetist David Rowden.

SUMMARY:Omega Ensemble: Bartok in Contrast
DESCRIPTION:Hungarian hillsides\, red Russian squares and late nights at the Parisian circus \nProgram\n\nBéla Bartók Contrasts for Clarinet\, Violin and Piano\nFrancis Poulenc Sonata for Clarinet and Piano\nAram Khachaturian Trio for Clarinet\, Violin and Piano\nDmitri Shostakovich Violin Sonata in G major \n\nAbout The Music\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe mid-twentieth century saw a steep rise in popularity for the clarinet due to its impressive range of colour\, emotion and agility\, and a quest by composers for new musical forms and sounds. Composers no longer looked to Classical or Romantic ideals\, but instead sought the directness and clarity of the immediate world in which they lived\, inspired by colourful melodies and rhythms of folk songs\, or the bustling sounds of the cities. \nClarinetist and Artistic Director of Omega Ensemble\, David Rowden\, leads an exhilarating program of works for clarinet\, violin and piano\, covering a full gamut of colour and emotion.

SUMMARY:PLEXUS: Prophecy
DESCRIPTION:PLEXUS continues its celebration of Melbourne artists with a program which includes three world premieres by three esteemed and very diverse composers – Brenton Broadstock\, Christine McCombe and Christian O’Brien.\nPLEXUS continues on its mission to perform works commissioned by the Verdehr Trio\, with the Tibetan Dance by Chinese-American composer Bright Sheng. The composer writes: ‘The first two movements of the work are in reminiscence\, as if one is hearing songs from a distant memory. The work is anchored on the last movement\, when the music gradually becomes real. Here\, the music is based on a Tibetan folk dance motive from Qinghai\, a Chinese province bordered with Tibet.’ PLEXUS joins forces with extraordinary guest artists Deborah Cheetham (soprano)\, Michelle Wood (cello) and Damien Eckersley (double bass)\, in Stefan Cassomenos’ intimate arrangement of the exquisite Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss. \nPLEXUS brings together the talents of three of Melbourne’s most vibrant and versatile musicians\, with a goal of commissioning and celebrating Australian and overseas composers. The name PLEXUS reflects the ensemble’s devotion to engaging an ever-growing network of exceptional artists across a variety of disciplines\, facilitating their contribution to Australia’s rich and diverse cultural landscape. Formed with a mission to follow in the footsteps of the acclaimed ensemble of the same instrumental combination\, the Verdehr Trio\, PLEXUS brings to Australian audiences the most significant and culturally relevant of these works and continues in the Verdehrs’ tradition\, commissioning Australian and international composers on a regular basis. Since launching in 2014\, PLEXUS has commissioned over 100 composers and has given over 70 world premieres. Widely acclaimed for its ongoing commitment to Australian music\, PLEXUS was shortlisted as a finalist for the 2016 Melbourne Music Prize Outstanding Musicians Award. \nPresented by Melbourne Recital Centre and PLEXUS
