Violinist Jonathon Glonek and Pianist Nicky Poznak join forces to present an exceptional program celebrating Nocturne form and expression, in the beautiful surround and fine acoustic of the Benalla Art Gallery. This concert forms part of a series of public programs complementing the current exhibition Nocturne: Benalla Art Gallery Collection, which explores multiple interpretations of the theme ‘nocturne’, specifically focusing on the scenes, sounds, and movements ‘of the night’

The program will include:

Gabriel Faure Romance for Violin and Piano
Cesar Franck Sonata in A major for violin and piano Op. 13
Felix Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E major

A thrilling selection featuring miniatures and Nocturnes by Chopin and Debussy will provide a wondrous contrast for the second half of the program.
