Quercus in the Forest: Brahms, Eotvos and Schnyder

Quercus Trio take the listener on a walk through the trees. The concert opens with Brahms' Horn Trio, the main theme of which famously came to Brahms whilst walking in the Black Forest near Baden Baden. This is followed by a new horn trio by Melbourne composer Melody Eotvos titled Shivelight,which takes its inspiration from Gerard Manley Hopkins who invented a word to describe those lances of light that pierce a tree’s canopy or foliage. The concert concludes with Walden, (Forests') by Swiss composer Daniel Schnyder.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. More information.
