Our concert will be filled with rippling, soulful, and evocative music celebrating exotic harmonies and folk melodies of Eastern European heritage. It explores the Russian roots of Kats-Chernin, Scriabin, Bresnick, and Glass, the Hungarian Bartók doing Bulgarian dances, and speech rhythms of the Moravian Janáček. The music begins in the late 19th century, journeys through the 20th century, and concludes with a 2021 world premiere. Please scroll down for the complete program.
Anna McMichael and Lisa Moore performed Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time two seasons ago at the Tyalgum Music Festival NSW and we’re so happy to finally play some duos together – particularly now during this artistic drought. They had our first duo rehearsal this week and are super inspired and energized to perform such great music together – and especially for an audience.
Melbourne Digital Concert Hall has built a stellar platform for the presentation of concert music and the support of musicians today.
Thank you MDCH!
