Music Matinee Newsletter March 24

Dear Friends of Music Matinee,  

We thank Charlie Wu for a simply wonderful recital and all those present will join us in wishing him the very best in his music career. We are sure he will continue to bring much joy to audiences in the future.

Our next concert is on Tuesday 1st of April at 1.00 at The Scots’ Church (please if possible be seated by 12.45). We are delighted to welcome for the first time to Music Matinee Pianist Chritelise de Graf and Guitarist Meredith Connie .  

They will play a selection of songs by Australian composers Margaret Sutherland, Anne Cawrse, some of Meredith Connie’s own compositions to poetry by Enheduanna, High Priestess in the  Akkadian era a powerful and privileged woman of her time. This will finish with the wonderful All Things Conspire by Elana Kats Chermin to Judith Wright’s poem.

 The performance ends with a change of scene with a selection of pieces put together by Berlioz for family and friends for pleasure based on snippets from opera and other pieces of music which gave him and his friends delight as we’re sure it will our listeners today.

 We thank Christelise and Meredith for introducing us to so many Australian works as we value being able to support both composers as well as musicians .

 Full details of the program and notes are available on our website
