MATTUTINO: Isabel Hede, Gemma Kneale & Georgina Lewis
Isabel Hede, violin
Gemma Kneale, cello
Georgina Lewis, piano
PROGRAM
David LANG wed
Stuart GREENBAUM 800 million heartbeats
Clara SCHUMANN Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 17
Gabriel FAURÉ Après un Rêve, Op. 7 No. 1 (arr. A. Eguchi)
"The work is clear, something rarely seen; it demonstrates a calm mastery of the formal artistic medium that we would not have expected of a woman composer."
- Neue Berliner Musikzeitung
This program's centrepiece is the ferocious and intensely romantic Piano Trio of Clara Schumann, which is regarded by many as her most mature work. Clara wrote the work in 1846, at the age of 25, after giving birth to her fourth child. The work was intended to be dedicated to her friend and fellow composer Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, but Fanny died before its completion, and the work has no dedication.
Bookending the trio is David Lang's 'wed', from a larger body of work called 'memory pieces'. Stuart Greenbaum's '800 million heartbeats' grapples with this nominal number, which is attributed to a creature's lifespan, acting as "a heightened metaphor for life, measured in heartbeats, and the journey that fill its course". The program comes to a close with an arrangement of the sumptuous art-song 'After a Dream' by French romantic composer Gabriel Fauré.
Mattutino is our monthly Sunday morning concert series.
One hour of music at 11am.
Stay for a complimentary sherry and some nibbles after the concert.
Tickets $25
Tickets are available on the door for concerts that haven't sold out prior.
Tempo Rubato is a cashless venue, please bring a card/electronic device for all purchases.
