PROGRAM

Our program is a reflection of who we are as musicians and what inspires us. We open our concert with a lively Sonata by Scarlatti and follow with a set of Schubert inspired works by Johann Kaspar Mertz. We continue with a with a new arrangement for two guitars of Australian composer Maria Grenfell’s Di Primavera. Then come the juxtaposition of two pieces by Ross Edwards, a lullaby Emily’s Song and the lively and joyous Djanaba. We then play an interesting arrangement of a string quartet work, Puccini’s Crisantemi; an elegy full of expression. Finally the concert closes with a celebration of Brazilian music by Clarice Assad, with her three movement Brasileirinhas. The work explores many elements of traditional Brazilian music and is an exciting virtuosic conclusion.
