For centuries\, generations of musicians wrote dances and masses\, symphonies and quartets\, as their homelands changed ownership under their feet. Or their nations remained steadfast\, allowing the most magical cultural overlaps at the border fringes. \nThrough composers such as Samuel Scheidt and Dietrich Becker\, you will hear the trials of battle – loss\, regret\, resentment – and\, at long last\, healing. Listen to composers who were touched by the Thirty Years’ War within the Holy Roman Empire\, their countries crumbling around them. \nMaría Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir (Iceland) and Donald Nicolson (Australia) are living composers who will bring you closer to our time. Just as Van Diemen’s Band invites instrumental guests from across Australia’s state borders\, these composers remind us how we’re still united through music – no matter what borders lie between us. \n\nTuesday 3 May & Saturday 14 May 2022 7pm \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $153 ($133 Concession)\nA Reserve $122 ($107 Concession)\nB Reserve $92 ($80 Concession)\nC Reserve $64 ($56 Concession) \nFamily of Four\n$100 (2 adults + 2 children OR 1 adult + 3 children) \nUnder 40\n$40 \nSeason Packages available now from Musica Viva.

For centuries\, generations of musicians wrote dances and masses\, symphonies and quartets\, as their homelands changed ownership under their feet.

Listen to composers who were touched by the Thirty Years’ War within the Holy Roman Empire\, their countries crumbling around them. \nMaría Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir (Iceland) and Donald Nicolson (Australia) are living composers who will bring you closer to our time. Just as Van Diemen’s Band invites instrumental guests from across Australia’s state borders\, these composers remind us how we’re still united through music – no matter what borders lie between us. \n\nTuesday 3 May & Saturday 14 May 2022 7pm \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $153 ($133 Concession)\nA Reserve $122 ($107 Concession)\nB Reserve $92 ($80 Concession)\nC Reserve $64 ($56 Concession) \nFamily of Four\n$100 (2 adults + 2 children OR 1 adult + 3 children) \nUnder 40\n$40 \nSeason Packages available now from Musica Viva.

SUMMARY:Selby & Friends – Back from the Brink
DESCRIPTION:About the concert\nSelby & Friends return to the stage\, back from the brink\, after what seems like a long hiatus with a fascinating program celebrating composers who fought against the establishment and\, in doing so\, forged a courageous way forward for those that followed. \nFormed in large part from a missed concert in 2021\, this concert introduces the great American composer\, Amy Beach\, who wrote a strong rebuttal to comments made by Dvořák about women in music and who became a national symbol of women’s creative power. Dvořák’s first piano trio is an intimate view into the great composer’s favoured genre\, and Ravel represents one whose own path fused modern elements with the baroque\, classicism and jazz. \nThe brilliant and versatile cellist Clancy Newman is welcomed back from the US to join Australian icon Dene Olding and Artistic Director & pianist\, Kathryn Selby\, performing a Selby & Friends concert together for the first time since May last year. \nProgram \nAmy Beach\nPiano Trio Op.150 \nAntonin Dvořák\nPiano Trio no. 1 in B flat\, Op.21 \nMaurice Ravel\nPiano Trio in A minor \nArtists \nDene Olding violin\nClancy Newman cello\nKathryn Selby piano \nBooking Information\n\n\nThursday 17 March 2022 7.30pm \n\nPrimrose Potter Salon\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nStandard $75 ($57 Concession) \nBuy Subscription Package\nStandard $309 ($235 Concession)

SUMMARY:Musica Viva: Partridge String Quartet and James Morley
DESCRIPTION:Program\nHolly Harrison\nBalderdash \nFranz Schubert\nString Quintet in C \nMusica Viva Australia’s current FutureMakers\, the brilliant Partridge Quartet\, are sure to wow audiences with this knockout of a program.\nJoined by guest violinist Jos Jonker and cellist Daniel Smith\, the players’ preternatural rapport\, formidable musicianship\, and gusto for performance will make this an unforgettable experience. \nAbout the concert\nThe concert opens with Holly Harrison’s Balderdash\, commissioned for the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition and receiving another well-deserved hearing here. A highly theatrical piece\, Balderdash explores musical ideas inspired by the electric guitar\, including distortion\, white noise\, and power-chords. Making use of punk-rock rhythms\, dissonance\, and percussive-based jams\, it encourages the traditional string quartet to behave like something of a rock band\, interrupting\, challenging\, and engaging in one-upmanship with each other. Influences as disparate as bluegrass\, grunge\, prog-rock\, metal\, and disco coalesce into something utterly unique. \nSchubert’s String Quintet in C Major couldn’t be more different. The composer’s final chamber work\, it is simply sublime and symphonic in scope\, helping to redefine at time of writing what a small string ensemble could accomplish. Impassioned and serene in equal measure\, the work constantly shifts in tone\, mood\, and colour\, but never loses its sense of quiet beauty. \n\nTuesday 1 March 2022 7pm & Saturday 5 March 7pm 2022 \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 1 hours 15 mins (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $153 ($133 Concession)\nA Reserve $122 ($107 Concession)\nB Reserve $92 ($80 Concession)\nC Reserve $64 ($56 Concession)\nUnder 40 $40

SUMMARY:MRC Chamber Music Series: Christopher Watson & Calvin Bowman
DESCRIPTION:Program\nGerald Finzi\nA Young Man’s Exhortation\, Op.14 \nCalvin Bowman\nSelected art songs \nChristopher Watson and Calvin Bowman unite in A Young Man’s Exhortation\nEnglish tenor Christopher Watson is a third-generation singer\, former member of the internationally renowned vocal ensembles the Tallis Scholars and Theatre of Voices\, and an acclaimed recitalist. Christopher returns to his love of art song in a concert with one of Australia’s finest art song composers and pianists\, Calvin Bowman. \nAbout this concert\nArt song is created through a thoughtful marriage of poetry and music. 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.
