Arboria Festival: Emma Matthews & The Chimera Quartet
About
1pm Soprano Emma MatthewsWinner of seven Helpmann Awards, nine Green Room Awards, and the Remy Martin Australian Opera Award (among others), the fabulous soprano Emma Matthews joins Arboria in its inaugural year to sing Samuel Barber’s moving and evocative concerto for soprano voice Knoxville Summer of 1915, lovingly arranged by Tommaso Pollio for the Chimera Quartet. Set to text from the novel A death in the family, by acclaimed American author, James Agee, Knoxville is a moving portrait of a child on the cusp of adolescence soaking up the sounds of their neighbourhood and family home. Also included in this program by Chimera Quartet (Tommaso Pollio, Melinda Forsythe, Rebecca Glorie and Geoff Bourgault) works by Shostakovich, Mendelssohn and the unmistakable tango stylings of Astor Piazzolla.
