Eileen Joyce Studio
University of Western Australia
Celebrate the magic of "Mozart and Friends" with this intriguing concert of musical treasures.
The programme explores a fascinating but little-known musical genre from the turn of the nineteenth century, when many popular operas and symphonies were masterfully transformed into chamber music settings so that music lovers could recreate works they had enjoyed at concerts and theatres.
Featuring selections from Mozart's best loved operas - "The Marriage of Figaro," "Don Giovanni," and "The Magic Flute" - arranged for flute and string trio, alongside Haydn's final symphonic work, his splendid "London" Symphony, skilfully arranged for quartet.
These works will be complemented by an expressively lyrical Early-Romantic quartet by Mozart's contemporary, the Italian maestro Giovanni Battista Viotti (1755-1824).
The venue is the Eileen Joyce Studio at the University of WA's Conservatorium of Music. With its intimate atmosphere, warm acoustics, and outlook to the grove of pine trees, this elegant concert room provides the perfect setting for this enjoyable event.
Artists are Emily Gunson (flute), WA Symphony Orchestra's principal second violin Zak Rowntree, Bourby Webster (viola), and WASO cellist Nicholas Metcalfe.
Don't miss this entertaining recital of transformed treasures!
