Event description

Music for little ears!

The importance of music in early childhood development is well known, and this concert brings the finest to our youngest! Enjoy a short program of beautiful music in a relaxed and comfortable environment specifically designed for you and your baby.

Children 0-2 and parents, grandparents, carers all welcome. There will be space for prams in the auditorium.

This concert has been made possible by the support of the City of Swan.

This concert presents chamber-music works of unsurpassed beauty. The satiating creative spirit of JS Bach and of Telemann accords with the seductive allure of musical masterpieces by Pisendel—the Dresden-based student of Vivaldi—and Francoeur le Cadet—the esteemed Master of Music to King Louis XV. This auditory feast—containing works of unparalleled depth and mastery, providing a window into the soul—is simply not to be missed.

Australian Baroque is joined by the sensational London-based baroque cellist Kinga Gaborjani, who brings a lifetime’s experience and dazzling technique to the interpretation of eighteenth century repertoire.

Performers: Dr Geoffrey Lancaster harpsichord, Kinga Gaborjani cello, Andy Skinner flute, Helen Kruger violin

Australian Baroque is a national ensemble and early music initiative, formed at its core by WA-based artists. We are world-class players with a spirit of investigation and historical inspiration, bringing you stunning classical music programs, live concerts, and immersive projects. Some of our masteries include Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by Candlelights, Perth Summer Orchestra Camp, Margaret River Residency, Perth String Project and so much more!

The ensemble formed in December 2018 was resident Ensemble in Residence at the WA Academy of Performing Arts, ECU, recorded by ABC Classics and have a new Recital Hall home at 505 Newcastle St, thanks to their partnership with AHG.

Being part of the WA community is central to the aims of Australian Baroque. This is not just an orchestra for the concert hall. Our aim is to build significant and long-lasting ties with both regional and metropolitan communities, performing in galleries, schools, museums, Men’s Sheds, churches, cafes and town halls. Education is a core branch of our practice, and we have 2 young artists in our program as well as the residency at WAAPA.

The Directors of Australian Baroque are violinist Helen Kruger, flautist Andy Skinner and Finance Director Antony Brian. The team brings a wealth of experience performing, managing and studying in Australia, Europe and the UK.
