Ray Golding Sunset Series - Brilliant Baroque

About this event:

For lovers of Baroque music this is for you. Diana Doherty particularly wanted to perform the Duet by W.F.Bach with Adam Walker and so begins this journey back in time. Our very own Winterschool strings take to the stage with pianist Kevin Chow but be ready for the Devil to put in an appearance. Italian magic at its best!

Evening Series - Metamorphosen

About this event:

The culmination of this program is the great Metamorphosen by Strauss. Our Artistic Director believes this to be one of the most moving chamber works in the repertoire and the musical references to Beethoven add to its emotional depth. However, this concert refers to change and we think you'll be astonished by both the Mendelssohn and sparkling Ligeti miniatures. Add in some delicate Asian flavour and Poulenc's reference to Mozart and this will be a musical rollercoaster.
