Emanuel Ensemble presents
3pm Sunday 22 February 2026
Eileen Joyce Studio
University of Western Australia
This special concert will present an entertaining programme of salon music, celebrating themes of love and romance, performed by two of Perth's musical couples - Emily Gunson (flute) and John Hardy (voice), with Zak Rowntree (violin) and Lisa Rowntree (piano).
There are exquisite works for flute, violin and piano, including Gabriel Fauré's lyrical "Sicilienne," and a rare performance of the newly discovered "Romantic Suite" op.16 by Fidelis Zitterbart, interspersed with delightful parlour songs featuring violin obbligato, including Paolo Tosti's much loved "Beauty's Eyes."
The Emanuel Ensemble returns to the Eileen Joyce Studio at the University of WA's Conservatorium of Music. With its intimate atmosphere, warm acoustics, and serene outlook to the grove of pine trees, this stylish concert room provides the perfect setting for this enjoyable event..
