Moonlight Serenade

Music

The Giants of Classical Music all together for one magical moonlit evening - Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, set against the backdrop of a full moon and the lush sounds of tropical rainforest surroundings.

These three iconic composers - pinnacles of the classics - will be featured in a programme of the very best of their Chamber Music that carries the listener to a bygone world where time passed more slowly and indulgence in the fine music was norm. Performances of their eras came to life in a colourful range of venues from sacred church cloisters to Duke's palaces, elegant society drawing rooms, and even Bohemian studios. The romance and grandeur of these masterpieces is eternal and to hear these three particular works in a single concert is a journey to cherish.

Works featured are

Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suite performed by master cellist

Markus Stocker

currently Senior Lecturer in Cello, Griffith University, Brisbane

Queensland Conservatorium

Beethoven Piano Trio in Bb, Opus 97 "Archduke"

and

Brahms Quintet for Piano and String Quartet in f minor, Opus 34

Malcolm Cole - viola

Caroline Lloyd Doolan - violin

Kirtley Leigh Paine - violin
