SUMMARY:Benaud Trio: Ornamental
DESCRIPTION:Shining a spotlight on an often-forgotten composer.\nBenaud Trio is one of Australia’s finest and most-loved chamber ensembles. Since coming together more than 15 years ago\, they have established themselves as formidable performers of the major repertoire and works by Australian composers and are well-known for their outrageous pop-inspired encores. \nAbout the concert\nWhile Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn were as prodigious musicians as one can imagine\, Fanny was regularly left standing in her brother’s shadow. Felix’ talent was celebrated\, while their father declared Fanny’s musicianship to be an ornament to her domestic life. \nThis performance title Ornamental celebrates the life\, the music\, and the relationship between these two great composers. \nOpening with the Melbourne premiere of Anne Cawrse’ Songs Without Words\, this unapologetically lyrical piece was composed for the trio in 2020\, while Fanny Mendelssohn’s substantial and dramatic Trio Op.11 rounds out the afternoon of music. \n\nSaturday 1 July 2023 2pm & 5pm; Primrose Potter Salon  Duration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

SUMMARY:Divisi Chamber Singers: The Turn
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the intrigue of madrigals.\nDivisi is a youth-led not-for-profit organisation that supports early-career creative artists. Divisi strives to break down established norms of classical music through commissioning and performing innovative and creative works and projects. Their recent program ‘Compose Queer’ was released to wide acclaim and led to the release of the first ever complete album of Australian classical music by queer composers\, entitled Spectrum. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon explores the intrigue of madrigals\, taking six narrators’ individual interpretations and coordinating them into a beautiful\, cohesive story. Divisi Chamber Singers will take four hundred years of madrigal storytelling tradition and weave masterworks with contemporary comparisons. Ben Rowarth’s The Turn\, an Australian premiere\, gives further context to Monteverdi’s Lamento D’Arianna. Gavin Bryars’ madrigals shed more light on ancient poetry with intricate contemporary harmony. \nChallenging its singers’ virtuosic abilities\, Divisi seeks to provide audiences with an experience of storytelling that transcends time and style\, telling ancient stories in modern ways. \n\nThursday 8 June 2023 6pm; Primrose Potter Salon; Duration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $25 ($20 Concession)

SUMMARY:Van Kuijk Quartet – Parisiennes
DESCRIPTION:A fresh voice imbuing new energy to the master chamber works.\nQuatuor Van Kuijk’s career erupted in 2015 with prize-winning performances at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition and the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition. Their rise continued with appearances at European festivals including Lockenhaus\, Verbier and Edinburgh\, and with five critically acclaimed albums on the Alpha Classics label. They were BBC New Generation Artists from 2015-17\, as well as ECHO Rising Stars for the 2017-18 season. Following such high success early in their career\, the ensemble is an established international presence. \nAbout the concert\nThe Quartet’s performance in the Primrose Potter Salon as part of the 2023 Chamber Now series celebrates the quartet’s ten-year anniversary with a program of Mozart\, Debussy\, Mendelssohn and the Australian premiere of Edith Canat de Chizy’s String Quartet No.5 Oh God\, written specially for the quartet. \nQuatuor Van Kuijk are a fresh voice imbuing new energy and interpretations to the master works of the chamber catalogue. Join them for an evening traversing classical refinement in Mozart\, the early Romantic explorations of Mendelssohn\, the new Impressionist sounds of Debussy\, and the thrilling and unsettling textural explorations of a new Edith Canat de Chizy work. \n\nMonday 8 May 2023 7.30pm; MRC Primrose Potter Salon; Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $79 ($59 Concession)

SUMMARY:Ensemble 642 with Jacob Lawrence – Between Earth and Sky
DESCRIPTION:Ensemble 642 is Hannah Lane (Baroque harp) and Nicholas Pollock (theorbo\, lutes\, baroque guitar). Together they explore the breathtaking sound of early plucked string instruments of the Baroque\, bringing exquisite music that hasn’t been heard for hundreds of years into the 21st century.\n\n\n\n\n\nBased in Basel\, Australian tenor Jacob Lawrence is fast becoming one of the leading tenors of his generation in the performance of early repertoire. He is regularly engaged with leading European ensembles including Les Arts Florissants\, Vox Luminis\, Profeti della Quinta\, Le Miroir de Musique\, and has appeared with groups such as Huelgas Ensemble\, La Cetra\, Voces Suaves\, Göttingen Baroque Orchestra\, Jerusalem Baroque Orchestra\, and Bern Vocale. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon invites the listener to experience the emotion\, virtuosity and vitality of secular and sacred vocal music of the early Italian Baroque\, which\, hundreds of years later\, still has the power to enthrall and delight. \nAt the turn of the 17th century\, newfound approaches to musical expression exploded into every European musical community. At the heart of this movement were the courts of great Italian families such as the Medici\, Sforza\, Gonzaga\, Pamhpili\, and Colonna. To enthrall their patrons\, court musicians broke many of the formal constraints that had bound them throughout the Renaissance and extracted every ounce of expressive possibility from ancient formulae. \nComposer-performers such as Caccini and Frescobaldi used popular musical forms as vehicles for their intellectual prowess\, transforming them with unexpected harmonic treatments\, all with the aim of moving the emotions of the audience\, who just like today\, were delighted by songs that articulated the human condition\, in particular the pleasures and pains of love.\nWell-known madrigals were adorned with breathtakingly virtuosic ornamentation showing not only the compositional facility of the performer but their skill in the ‘cantar della gorgia’\, a type of singing where rapid articulation in the throat enables great agility and speed. \nIn the religious sphere\, these new expressive approaches were used just as effectively. Popular secular songs were appropriated for religious settings and overlaid with spectacular new melodic treatments. Composers such as Chiara Margarita Cozzolani\, one of only a handful of prolific female composers of this period\, used the sacred genre as a vehicle for the expression of intimate devotion and ecstatic elevation. \n\nFriday 14 April 2023 7pm; Primrose Potter Salon; Duration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

SUMMARY:Affinity Quartet – Perpetual Motion
DESCRIPTION:A stirring display of emotion and musicality.\nAbout the artists\nAffinity Quartet represents the next generation of Australia’s chamber music stars\, having developed its craft in Europe to critical acclaim. It brings home an inspired approach to music-making\, matched by its adventurous spirit as a string quartet for and of today. \nAbout the concert\nAffinity Quartet opens their program with Haydn’s 31st String Quartet\, the Op.33 No.1 in B minor. Following a break of ten years from composing string quartets\, Haydn describes his Op.33 set as having a ‘new and special’ style. The key of B minor itself is unusual – a choice that signals the exploratory and unconventional direction of Haydn’s quartet writing in the 1780s. \nMendelssohn’s sixth and final string quartet was composed just two months before his death in 1847. In this 30 minute work\, subtitled Requiem for Fanny\, Mendelssohn turns to the intimacy of string quartet writing to grapple with the sudden death of his only sister and closest confidante\, producing one of his most musically incisive and arresting works. \nAustralian composer and violist Matt Laing\, describes his new work for Affinity Quartet as ‘an abstract still life in perpetual motion\, where even the smallest\, stillest things have a hyperactive inner life’. \n\nThursday 17 November 2022 6pm; Melbourne recital Centre\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

SUMMARY:Flinders Quartet – Beethoven and the Vignettes
DESCRIPTION:Five emerging composers respond to Beethoven 200 years on\nAbout the concert\nThe Flinders Quartet performance in Primrose Potter Salon sees the commissioning of five emerging composers to write vignettes in response to Beethoven’s Grosse Fugue\, creating contemporary relevance for this seminal work and ensuring that generations to come have an awareness of Beethoven’s string quartet canon. \nBy pairing Beethoven’s Grosse Fugue with five\, short works\, Flinders Quartet present a new way of listening to the revolutionary composition with a renewed perspective. \nBeethoven’s Opus 18 comprises his first works in the string quartet genre and his development of one small motif which was revolutionary in compositional terms. This same idea is connected to the task ascribed to the five emerging composers\, 200 years on. \nMonday 14 November 2022 11am & 6pm; Melbourne Recital Centre\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour 10 mins (no interval) \nTickets: Standard $40 ($29 Concession)

SUMMARY:Firebird Trio – London Calling
DESCRIPTION:A captivating musical snapshot of London spanning three centuries.\n\n\n\n\nFirebird Trio has performed nationwide to critical acclaim\, with a vibrancy of imagination that echoes its name\, bringing energy\, colour and splendour to their live experiences. A city renowned for its artistic wealth\, London serves as inspiration for Firebird Trio in this captivating musical snapshot spanning three centuries. \nAbout the concert\nBeginning with Joseph Haydn’s Piano Trio in A\, the piece reveals the energy and optimism of his time in London at the behest of Johann Salomon\, the German violinist and impresario. Haydn was able to establish himself securely in this prestigious artistic centre – a truly fruitful endeavour. \nHenry Purcell’s Fantasia in B flat was originally scored for four viols in 1680\, but their performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents a counterpoint\, lovingly encased in the modern sound world of the piano trio. \nFinishing on Vaughan Williams’ Piano Quintet of 1904. An early work from one of England’s most recognisable composers\, the quintet makes full use of the timbral possibilities of a double bass. Rich with folk themes\, the hallmarks of Vaughan Williams personal style are brought to life in an enigmatic and powerful way. \nFirebird Trio welcome guest artists Simon Oswell\, Stuart Riley and Rhodri for the ‘Vaughan Williams Quintet’. \n\nWednesday 9 November 2022 6pm; MRC\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $50 ($40 Concession)
