Something Old, Something New

Justin Julian - viola
Jamie Cock - piano

Discover how composers have drawn inspiration from the past. Benjamin Britten's exhilarating Lachrymae takes inspiration from John Dowland, while Shostakovich's powerful final work, the Viola Sonata Op. 147, contains echoes of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The program also features Caroline Shaw's In manas tuas, inspired by Thomas Tallis, and Rebecca Clarke's hauntingly beautiful Morpheus.

The concert runs for approximately 60 to 70 minutes, with no interval.

Shining Lights

Mitch Berick - clarinet
Cameron Hill, Holly Piccoli - violins

A rare opportunity to hear Mozart's luminous Clarinet Quintet performed by some of Adelaide's shining lights in a version for basset clarinet that more closely reflects Mozart's original manuscript. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Clarinet Quintet is both energetic and lyrical, combining the rich romanticism of Brahms with a distinctive English character.

The concert runs for approximately 60 to 70 minutes, with no interval.
