…a delightful one-hour concert which summed up the essence of chamber music – the chance to listen with eyes as well as ears…
Concert wrap
The CSO’s 2021 season is officially underway following yesterday’s sold-out performances of Chamber Classics: Forgotten Romance.
Kirsten Williams and Susanne Powell opened the performance with Clara Schumann’s yearning first Romance for violin and piano, with sunlight streaming through the windows of Canberra’s historic Albert Hall. They were joined by Tor Frømyhr, Patrick Suthers and Max McBride for an exuberant performance of Schubert’s lively Trout quintet.
Chamber Classics continues in July 2021 with Old Friends, an homage to the friendship and professional association of Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák.
