Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra...

Event Date: 22/05/2017, 07:30 pm

Conducted by iconic Artistic Director Richard Gill AO, starring mezzo-soprano Fiona Campbell
The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra follows up its stunning March 2017 season opener with a gorgeous program of Romantic music, performed for the first time ever in Australia on authentic period instruments, in Historically Informed Performance (HIP) style.

Conducted by iconic Artistic Director Richard Gill AO and starring mesmirising mezzo-soprano Fiona Campbell, the May 20 (Sydney) and 22 (Melbourne) concerts feature works by Rossini (including overtures and the most extraordinary arias from his operas) and Schubert (Overture and the ‘Unfinished’ Symphony).
Guest concertmaster is outstanding violinist and period performance doyen, Berlin-based Jakob Lehmann.

Richard Gill promises an exhilarating experience with a unique sound.
“You’ve never heard the Romantics played like this before; and once you have, you’ll be hooked!” he said.

The intrigue and daring of Rossini’s operas, written early in the 19th century, brings unbridled passion to the concert stage with heroic and comedic characters, setting lovers’ (and music lovers’!) hearts racing with engaging orchestral energy and shimmering colours.
Schubert’s portrayal of unrequited love is unmistakable in his Overture in C minor and his famous ’Unfinished’ Symphony, whose depth and breadth of passion transports us into the unknown.

ARCO Artistic Director, Richard Gill AO, is a genuine living legend of the Australian performance and music education world and, true to its vision to ‘inspire, educate and enlighten’ audiences, ARCO also continues to bring inspiring workshops to schools all around Australia.

Fiona Campbell is one of Australia’s most versatile and beloved classical singers - a producer and guest ABC presenter, accomplished international performer, recitalist and recording artist.
Winner of the national Limelight Award for Best Solo Performance 2011, the ABC Young Performer of the Year Award and the ASC Opera Awards, Fiona has been widely acclaimed for her powerful performances.

The first half of the programme features Mozart's classical masterpiece, the quartet no. 17 in B-flat major K 458, nicknamed the 'Hunt'.
The second half follows up with a fabulous feast of musical bonbonnieres that will captivate all with enchanting melodies, old-world charm, nostalgic sentiment and petite perfection!

From its humble origins as four music students busking on the streets of Sydney, the last decade has seen the
Enigma Quartet establish a reputation as one of the country's brightest and most versatile professional young string quartets.
This intrepid foursome of Marianne Broadfoot, Kerry Martin (violins), Elizabeth Woolnough (guest viola) and Rowena Macneish (cello) is united by friendship and a shared passion for chamber music and live performance.
Enigma made their Huntington Festival debut in 2014, and were invited to perform in Musica Viva’s Coffee Concert Series in 2015 and 2013.

TALES FROM VIENNA - The Streeton Trio

Event Date: 20/05/2017, 03:00 pm

The Streeton Trio, one Australia’s finest classical music ensembles.
The Streeton Trio, one Australia’s finest classical music ensembles, comes to the Independent Theatre, North Sydney on Saturday afternoon 20 May with a Viennese treat as sweet as any sacher torte!
The internationally acclaimed trio featuring Emma Jardine (violin), Benjamin Kopp (piano) & Meta Weiss (cello) presents masterworks by Europe’s leading composers around the time of the 1814 Vienna Congress: Schubert, Rossini and Beethoven.

The concert will be introduced by special guest, Hon Dr Barry Jones AC - writer, broadcaster, popular former government minister – and music lover!

Named after the Australian Impressionist painter, Sir Arthur Streeton and described by Musica Viva as
“Australia’s most internationally successful piano trio”, the Streeton Trio was formed in 2008, in Geneva, Switzerland, by three young Australian musicians.

Since they, they have performed throughout the world, garnered many awards and won countless accolades.
They also have an impressive recording history and feature regularly on classical music radio.

This concert’s program explores the complex musical situation in Vienna, the capital of European music at the beginning of the 1800s. These two decades of great cultural ferment saw the Vienna Congress (1814/1815) as the turning point between the ideals of the Enlightenment and those of the Restoration. There was a radical change in the social role of music, which was no longer used as an instrument of awareness and knowledge, but instead became a narcotic, useful to disguise the harsh reality of post-Napoleonic and post-Enlightenment society. These historical circumstances deeply characterized the work of the most important composers of the time: Beethoven, Schubert and Rossini all of whom gravitated around Vienna influencing one another.

John Knowles STORYTILLER Presents I Can Top...

Event Date: 20/05/2017, 05:45 pm

The freshest comic storytelling show in town - SMH
If you've ever been around a gaggle of comedians chatting, they spend most of their time trying to top each other with a more entertaining story or a funnier gag. As soon as one comic starts telling their story, you can sense that the other comedians ‘reloading’, preparing to launch into their own 'even better' story, the moment the first story ends. It like the game people play at dinner parties when someone recounts a tale about having had a terrible job or going to the worst wedding ever and everyone else tries to outdo them. How many times have you heard someone say,"You think that's bad...I can top that!" This show gives comics the chance to do just that, live on stage.

Hosting the show is John Knowles - the Storytiller, fresh from his sell-out one-man show in the 2016 Fringe Comedy Festival. Joining him each night are three top comedians known for their ability to tell a great yarn. They key to this brand of comedy is that these stories are all true. Some will be shocking, others embarrassing, inciteful, sweet or just plain hilarious
Its a smorgasbord of real life adventures and raw revelations with an emphasis on vulnerability, confession and laughter.

Picture a competitive true-story-telling-slam on speed. One comic tells their funniest short true story based on a random audience suggestion. Then the other performers race for the one microphone shouting "I CAN TOP THAT!" before attempting to tell a better story. Its like The Moth meets Family Feud. The audience decides which comic wins the round and that performer retains control of the microphone.

John was recently featured on a special two hour episode of Conversations with Richard Fidler (ABC702’s). Upon finishing the long funny interview, Fidler exclaimed, “Expect phone calls from publishers wanting you to write the book!”
