Concert

Friday 27th October at 7pm,
Margaretta Cottage,
6 Leichhardt Street, Glebe
(disabled access at 18A Cook Street, Glebe)
Performers: Hamish Strathdee Hamish Strathdee Hamish Strathdee - Contra Guitar Duo and Emma-Shay Emma-Shay in Contra Guitar Duo.
Programme: The programme is a reflection of who we are as musicians and what inspires us. The concert opens with a set of Schubert inspired works by Johann Kaspar Mertz and continues with a beautiful minimalist work by the late Australian composer Phillip Houghton, before bringing the first half to a close with a new arrangement for two guitars of Australian composer Maria Grenfell's Di Primavera.
The second half of the concert opens with the juxtaposition of two pieces by Ross Edwards, a lullaby Emily’s Song and the lively and joyous Djanaba. We then play an interesting arrangement of a solo guitar work, Tansman’s Variations on a theme of Scriabin; here the audience gets to enjoy Tansman’s work in greater depth and colour, providing a new listening experience of a much loved work in the guitar repertoire. Finally the concert closes with a celebration of Brazilian music by Clarice Assad, with her three movement Brasileirinhas. The work explores many elements of traditional Brazilian music and is an exciting virtuosic conclusion.

Sunday 26th November at 3pm,
Glebe Town Hall, 160 St John’s Road, Glebe
Performers: Josie
and the Emeralds www.josieandtheemeralds.com directed by Brooke Green.
Programme:
A Byrd's Eye View Celebrating William Byrd - St Cecilia Day Concert: Josie
and the Emeralds celebrate William Byrd’s remarkable contribution to music with some of his most
famous songs and a selection of music for viols, in combinations from 4 - 6 parts,
culminating in his magnificent 6 part Fantasia no.2. Continuing the Byrd/bird song theme,
Laura Vaughan performs The Nightingale by one of Byrd’s contemporaries: Richard
Sumarte. (as far as we know, Byrd didn’t write music for solo viol). Not long after the death
of William Byrd, Renaissance writer Katherine Philips evokes mournful bird calls in her
poem Orinda to Lucasia. This was part of the inspiration for Brooke Green’s new work, which Josie
and the Emeralds will premiere.
