Concert Season 2019
Saturday 16 March 2019, 8.00pm
Eldon Hogan Performing Arts Centre,
Xavier College, Barkers Road, Kew
Sibelius and Elgar
|
|
In this concert, we feature two works from the turn of the 20th century.
Sibelius’s only concerto will be performed by violinist Ji Won Kim who received the ABC Young Performers Award in 2009, playing this very concerto. Ji Won has performed extensively in Australia, Asia and Europe and we welcome her back after fabulous concerts with us in 2013 and 2014.
Enigma Variations established Elgar’s international reputation. It is a unique work where each variation reflects the character of a close acquaintance, ending in a grand variation representing Elgar himself. Mystery still surrounds the musical theme that inspired the variations - can you work it out?

Mozart's Clarinet
|
|
Two favourites in this concert!
After two exhilarating performances in 2010 and 2012 we had to invite soloist David Griffiths for a repeat performance of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto - Mozart at his quintessential best.
We close with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony. Despite Tchaikovsky initially concluding it was a failure, the symphony has become a staple of the repertoire and a favourite amongst audiences.

Stradivarius Magic
|
|
We are honoured to be able to present one of the world’s leading violinists, the exciting Canadian superstar, Alexandre Da Costa to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto. Alexandre plays the 1701 Stradivarius "Deveault" the way a Strad should be played. He has given over two thousand concerts and recitals throughout North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
After the Beethoven we will present Sibelius Symphony No.1, the work that thrust Sibelius into international recognition.
