SUMMARY:Bach Akademie Australia: The Countertenor - Bach's Holy Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Bach Akademie Australia is thrilled to launch its 2025 season with The Countertenor – Bach’s Holy Spirit\, featuring world-renowned Grammy-nominated countertenor Reginald Mobley. This highly anticipated concert marks the ensemble’s first national tour\, with performances from April 4th to 25th\, in Sydney\, Brisbane\, Melbourne\, Adelaide and Regional NSW. Bringing to life the transcendent beauty of J.S. Bach’s music\, the tour will showcase Mobley’s extraordinary artistry alongside Australia’s premier Baroque musicians. \nReginald Mobley\, celebrated for his luminous tone and expressive depth\, has captivated audiences worldwide with his performances spanning from Bach’s masterpieces to contemporary works. His deep connection to Baroque repertoire and impeccable vocal technique makes him an ideal collaborator for Bach Akademie Australia’s dedication to authentic and inspiring performances. \nThe program will feature works by J.S Bach\, J.C. Bach and Vivaldi. According to theological tradition in Lutheran Germany\, the alto voice was the very symbol of the Holy Ghost. Bach felt this deeply\, reserving the alto voice for the most moving and special of arias in his passions and cantatas. This concert will highlight the rich emotional depth and spiritual resonance of these works\, bringing together the exquisite expressiveness of Mobley’s voice with the vibrant and historically informed playing of Bach Akademie Australia. \n‘Clans’\, a new composition by contemporary Biripi and Gamillaroi musician and composer Troy Russell\, will be performed at the concerts in Brisbane\, Adelaide\, Melbourne and Orange.

SUMMARY:Bach\, Bossa and Beyond with the Australian Guitar Quartet
DESCRIPTION:After coming together in a twist of fate and playing to captivated sell-out crowds earlier this year\, four of Australia’s internationally acclaimed guitarists\, each renowned for their virtuosic technique and genre-defying performance – Andrew Blanch\, Vladimir Gorbach and brothers Slava and Leonard Grigoryan – have come together as the newly formed Australian Guitar Quartet. \nComposers\, arrangers and champions of Australian music in their own right\, each member of the quartet is committed to outstanding musicianship and the power of ensemble\, where the whole transcends the sum of its parts. Together\, the Australian Guitar Quartet blends the precision of classical guitar with the flair of contemporary music from across the globe. \nSpanning the intricate beauty of Bach to the vibrant sounds of Latin America\, these concerts offer an immersive journey across a kaleidoscope of soundscapes and styles\, with a program blending classical\, jazz\, tango\, and Brazilian music.  \nAstor Piazzolla’s Fuga y Misterio fuses classical form with the passion of tango\, while Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 offers a masterclass in Baroque elegance. Bizet’s Selections from the Carmen Suite evokes the drama and sensuality of opera\, and Pat Metheny’s Road to the Sun takes listeners on a meditative journey through modern jazz. Luiz Bonfá’s Manhã de Carnaval and Paulo Bellinati’s A Furiosa transport audiences to the heart of Brazil. \nBach\, Bossa and Beyond celebrates both tradition and innovation\, pushing the boundaries of collective sound and expressing the power of the guitar in an exquisite musical showcase. \n

SUMMARY:Australia Piano Quartet – Works by Wagner\, Gyger and Faure
DESCRIPTION:Australia Piano Quartet constantly seeks to broaden the piano quartet repertoire by both commissioning new works and making arrangements. \nThis performance will unveil a striking new arrangement of Wagner’s prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde\, as arranged by Bernard Rofe. The lush solistic qualites of the piano quartet allow Wagner’s expressive vision to find new romance before a dramatic change of gear occurs through the world premiere of Melbourne composer Elliott Gyger’s Shell Chambers.  This extraordinarily cerebral work was commission by APQ in 2015\, and pushes the ensemble to the precipice of virtuosic possibility. \nBringing APQ’s 2016 season to a close\, Faure’s sublime Piano Quartet in C minor is a beloved classic of the literature.  Written in the final stages of his brief marriage to the soprano Pauline Viardot – a muse to Berlioz\, Liszt\, Saint-Saens and Chopin amongst others – this luscious romantic masterpiece draws inspiration from Brahms while presenting its own impassioned French sensibility.
