WELCOME Whilst travel restrictions and border closures continue to disrupt the livelihoods of artists around the world, we have been overwhelmingly fortunate in South Australia. Not only have we been able to continue presenting exceptional artists from interstate, our luck improves yet again in this season: two world-class artists will also be joining us from overseas. Legendary British pianist Stephen Hough returns to UKARIA in September, courtesy of his dual citizenship of Australia and the UK. We’re also delighted to welcome the Principal Horn of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Katy Woolley, for a recital with Konstantin Shamray. Katie Noonan’s new Australian Vocal Ensemble makes its debut; Emily Sun, Richard Narroway and Vatche Jambazian celebrate their collective homecomings, and James Crabb leads a star-studded ensemble inspired by Astor Piazzolla’s original quintet. October will mark a special milestone, with the opening of our newly renovated alfresco dining space. Its completion coincides with another milestone – the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s inaugural UKARIA festival, which we’re fortunate to have been able to reschedule from the 2020 Season. Patrons joining us for the weekend will be able to dine with the musicians in the new space, with brunch, lunch and dinner options available. We invite you to dream with us once more in the presence of some of the most inspiring hearts and minds.

WINTER Wading through mists of the mountains’ breath the wet white air, once thought to be spirits of the dead, and adding our quota … This chill that pulls neat water from the air – a touched leaf trickles, rolls tears along the blade. Then the brief downpour. Gullies, like washing machines switched on, Churn soil downhill. The bush path is a tunnel into mist, where every spider’s web is seen flagged out with silver buoys. The lorikeet shuffles dejected feathers, sipping weak nectar. A huntsman crosses the path, half crushed beneath the rain’s broom; it walks on grass stalks, a blind tightrope walker feeling in eight directions. Hairs on a banksia leaf Repel drops and store the dryness (tomorrow there may be fire). – Mark O’Connor (b. 1945)

ORAVA QUARTET

Driftwood

SUNDAY 1 AUGUST 2.30PM

‘Folk music is the music of all the small places. It is the local music, but as such it is also the music of everywhere and everyone. Like rivers, the melodies and dances have flowed slowly from region to region: Whenever a fiddler stumbled on a melody, he would play it and make it his own before passing it on.’

Daniel Kowalik | Violin

– Danish String Quartet

Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

The charismatic young musicians that comprise the Brisbane-based, Deutsche-Grammophon-signed Orava Quartet have become familiar faces at many of Australia’s chamber music festivals. Their interpretations display a bold and reinvigorating freshness, and their unique artistic synergy has been consistently praised by critics in Australia and overseas.

For their second appearance at UKARIA, Orava begins with two beguiling Nordic folk tunes arranged by the Danish String Quartet from their celebrated Wood Works album. Then comes Erwin Schulhoff’s first String Quartet – strongly influenced by Czech folk dance – followed by Alexander Borodin’s sumptuous second String Quartet: a love letter to his wife of twenty years, evoking the couple’s first meeting in Heidelberg.

EMILY SUN, RICHARD NARROWAY AND VATCHE JAMBAZIAN

Homecoming

SUNDAY 8 AUGUST 2.30PM Since winning the Royal Overseas League’s Commonwealth Musician of the Year in 2016 and the ABC Young Performer of the Year in 2018, Australian violinist Emily Sun has established an international presence as an exceptional soloist and chamber musician. Her ‘searing and poetic’ tone (Guardian) has echoed through the vaults of London’s Buckingham Palace and Wigmore Hall, the Louvre in Paris and the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow. Recently appointed Lecturer in Cello at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, Richard Narroway is the 2020 Freedman Classical Fellow. He earned degrees from The Juilliard School and Northwestern University, before completing his Doctorate at the University of Michigan. Touring the complete Bach Cello Suites around outback Australia led to the recording of his debut album, which has been streamed over one million times and lauded by Gramophone as ‘an adventure in expressive possibility’.

Ross Edwards Piano Trio Dmitry Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 1 in C minor, Op. 8 Felix Mendelssohn Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49 Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after the performance. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

Pianist Vatche Jambazian recently returned to Sydney after completing a Master’s degree at The Juilliard School and a Doctorate at the Manhattan School of Music. His prize-winning performances in the Los Angeles International Piano Competition and the Australian National Piano Award in 2018 have helped affirm his reputation as one of the most exciting Australian pianists of his generation. Emily, Richard and Vatche celebrate their collective homecomings by joining forces for the first time at UKARIA.

KAT Y WOOLLEY WITH KONSTANTIN SHAMRAY

Interstellar Calls SUNDAY 15 AUGUST 2.30PM

The soaring, resplendent tone of a French horn is surely one of classical music’s most satisfying timbres: in orchestral settings, it is almost invariably the horns that make the spine tingle and the pulse quicken. After six years as Principal Horn of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London (a position she won at just twentytwo years old), Katy Woolley was appointed Principal Horn of Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in 2019. Katy has performed as guest Principal Horn with many of the world’s greatest orchestras – including the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Gothenburg Symphony and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra – and has held teaching positions at the Royal College of Music, the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. In Australia for a special residency at the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), Katy Woolley gives her UKARIA debut with much-loved Russian pianist Konstantin Shamray. Exploring the gradients between darkness and light, their program showcases the full emotional and virtuosic range of the horn, from the birdsong of Messiaen to the fanfare of Beethoven.

EMMA DONOVAN PAUL GRABOWSKY SATURDAY 21 AUGUST 7.30PM

2020 This concert has been rescheduled from the 2020 Season. ‘That Emma Donovan is an extraordinary singer is no secret. During the recording of Archie Roach’s Tell Me Why, Emma joined us in the studio for a duet with the great man on ‘Just a Closer Walk With Thee’, a tribute to Mahalia Jackson. Her command of gospel music was immediately and excitingly evident.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Tickets Adult (A) $65 Concession (C) $60

Emma’s voice is rich, powerful and glowing, and I can’t wait to share the stage with her for the first time as we explore her favourite gospel classics, including songs written by her grandfather.’ – Paul Grabowsky AO

TANGO JAM 2

Concierto para Quinteto SUNDAY 22 AUGUST 2.30PM

‘In essence then, if classic is what remains as a model and universal is what belongs to everyone for all time, Piazzolla’s tango is universal and classical music even if he called it “music of cafés”, a creation immortal and luminous nonetheless, like a star that has become substance in the sounds of the soul.’ – Horacio Ferrer (1933–2014) In 1960 Astor Piazzolla put together the ‘First Quintet’ – an ensemble comprised of a violin, an electric guitar, a double bass and a piano, with Piazzolla himself performing on bandoneón. The formation remains the most authentic expression of the Nuevo Tango style. Scottish accordion virtuoso James Crabb is Australia’s leading Piazzolla authority, and has long dreamed of establishing his own quintet. With Sydney Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Andrew Haveron on violin, 2019 Freedman Classical Fellow Rohan Dasika on bass, young jazz superstar Joshua Meader on guitar, and award-winning pianist Stefan Cassomenos at the keyboard, this is about as good as it gets. Together they play music by Tomás Gubitsch, Gustavo Beytelmann, Antonio Agri and José Carli in a program framed by the works of Astor Piazzolla, culminating in the great Concierto para Quinteto. Just try to resist the urge to dance.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served during the interval. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

RACHAEL BEESLEY, NATASHA KRAEMER AND SIMON MART YN-ELLIS

Ayres and Arias SUNDAY 29 AUGUST 2.30PM

Australian violinist Rachael Beesley has devoted her life to the art of historically informed performance. As Co-Founder, Co-Artistic Director, and Concertmaster of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, she has worked closely with the late Richard Gill AO, and in 2006 she co-founded the acclaimed period ensemble Ironwood. She regularly leads chamber ensembles such as Ludovico’s Band, Salut! Baroque, and Accaddemia Arcadia, and has performed on over fifty recordings for labels including Harmonia Mundi, BIS, and ABC Classic.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served during the interval. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $45 Student (S) $25

Rachael joins Baroque cellist Natasha Kraemer and theorbist Simon Martyn-Ellis for a program showcasing rarely heard gems from the Baroque repertoire. Music by Bach, Corelli and Biber – presented alongside excerpts from Nicola Matteis’ Ayres and arias from The False Consonances of Musik – will shimmer and sparkle in the high-resolution acoustic of UKARIA.

SPRING Oh, season of changes – of shadow and shine – September the splendid! My song hath no music to mingle with thine, And its burden is ended; But thou, being born of the winds and the sun, By mountain, by river, Mayst lighten and listen, and loiter and run, With thy voices for ever. – Henry Kendall (1839–1882)

EMMA PEARSON, SALLY WALKER AND TAMARA-ANNA CISLOWSKA

Enchanted Gardens SUNDAY 5 SEPTEMBER 2.30PM

This concert has been rescheduled from the Summer–Autumn Season. Earlier this year, beloved Australian soprano Taryn Fiebig passed away after a long battle with cancer. Originally scheduled to perform in this concert back in February, it was sadly not to be. Acclaimed musicians Sally Walker (flute) and Tamara-Anna Cislowska (piano) remained committed to giving this performance in Taryn’s memory, and we’re delighted to have been able to secure award-winning soprano Emma Pearson to perform in her stead. Featuring works by Delibes, Massenet, Ibert, Saint-Saëns, Ravel and others, this program evokes the meditative, healing qualities of French gardens – at time when the UKARIA garden is itself becoming its most enchanting.

Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after the performance. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

STEPHEN HOUGH

Hats Off

SUNDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 2.30PM

‘The most perfect piano playing conceivable’ – Guardian Not since the golden age of Franz Liszt has a musician combined the roles of concert pianist, composer and writer with as much success as Stephen Hough. Named by The Economist as one of Twenty Living Polymaths, his catalogue of over sixty recordings has garnered eight Gramophone awards, several Grammy nominations, and the prestigious Diapason d’Or. Revered for the imaginative architecture of his programs and his magisterial command of the instrument, Stephen Hough has secured his place as one of the legendary pianists of our time. Ahead of a new album for Hyperion (due for release in September), Stephen returns to UKARIA for a fascinating exploration of Chopin and Schumann. The relationship between these towering figures of Romanticism is one of the most intriguing: not long after they met in Leipzig, Schumann dedicated his Kreisleriana, Op. 16 to Chopin. Feeling obligated to reciprocate, Chopin dedicated his second Ballade to Schumann. What might Schumann have written about Stephen Hough if he were alive to hear him in this program? Schumann’s famous words about Chopin from his first review in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung spring instantly to mind: ‘Hats off gentlemen – a genius!’

Alan Rawsthorne Bagatelles Robert Schumann Kreisleriana, Op. 16 INTERVAL Stephen Hough Partita Fryderyk Chopin Ballade in A flat, Op. 47 Nocturne in E flat, Op. 9 No. 2 Nocturne in F sharp, Op. 15 No. 2 Scherzo in B flat minor, Op. 31 Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served during the interval. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

ANDREA LAM WITH DALE BARLTROP AND MICHAEL DAHLENBURG

Mozart, Frank and Brahms SUNDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 2.30PM

Praised for her ‘melting lyricism, filigree touch and spirited eloquence’ (The Australian), award-winning pianist Andrea Lam has recently collaborated with Dale Barltrop and Michael Dahlenburg at the ASQ’s 2021 Dunkeld Festival of Music. Holding degrees from the Yale School of Music and the Manhattan School of Music, she has appeared as a soloist with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia and Christchurch Symphony Orchestras, along will all major Australian symphony orchestras. Currently Co-Concertmaster of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and First Violinist of the Australian String Quartet, Dale Barltrop has also appeared as Concertmaster of the Australian World Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle. He has been engaged as a soloist with the MSO, and with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra with whom he also served as Concertmaster from 2009–2016. Michael Dahlenburg is the newly appointed Cellist of the Australian String Quartet. Before joining the ASQ in November 2020, he served as Principal Cellist and regular Guest Conductor for the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra. A founding member of the Hamer Quartet, Michael has performed with ensembles including the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Flinders Quartet, and Celia Craig’s ARCADIA ensemble. Piano trios by Mozart and Brahms bookend this program, which also includes the Australian premiere of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s Four Folk Songs for Piano Trio, originally commissioned in 2012 by Andrea’s New York-based ensemble, the Claremont Trio.

AUSTRALIAN VOCAL ENSEMBLE

Tumbling Like Stars SUNDAY 26 SEPTEMBER 2.30PM

Avé is a Latin word, used by the Romans as a salutation and greeting, meaning ‘hail’. It is the singular imperative form of the verb avere, which meant ‘to be well’. Katie Noonan is a five-time ARIA Award winning artist who has produced twenty studio albums throughout her eclectic career. Since rising to fame twenty years ago as the lead singer of indie rock band george, Katie has engaged in crossgenre collaborations with Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Sydney Dance Company, Queensland Ballet, guitarist Karin Schaupp, and the Brodsky Quartet.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served during the interval. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

In April 2021, mezzo soprano Fiona Campbell, tenor Andrew Goodwin and bass baritone Andrew O’Connor – all highly acclaimed Australian soloists in their own right – joined Katie to form the Australian Vocal Ensemble (AVÉ), receiving a five-star review in Limelight for their debut concert in Brisbane. Committed to telling uniquely Australian stories, AVÉ will present new works based on the poetry of iconic Australian writer David Malouf, by Stephen Leek, Jessica Wells, Anne Cawrse, Isaac Hurren, Thomas Green, Robert Davidson, Alice Humphries, David Hirschfelder, Iain Grandage and Katie Noonan – alongside new arrangements of music by Bach, Handel and Tomás Luis de Victoria.

Reunion

SATURDAY 2 OCTOBER 5.00PM

2020 This concert has been rescheduled from the 2020 Season. Sunset: Approximately 6.19pm

Helena Rathbone – Principal Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) – shares a special bond with Christopher Moore (Principal Viola of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) and Timo-Veikko Valve (Principal Cello of the ACO). Having played together for over ten years, their synergy is instinctual, almost telepathic. A brilliant, exuberant pianist (Stefan Cassomenos) is all that is needed to form a powerhouse quartet.

Nadia Boulanger Three Pieces for Viola and Piano

Mapping the complex relationships between composers who changed the course of western art music, quartets by Fauré and Brahms are prefaced by masterpieces from two visionary women.

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

Stanhope and Brahms FRIDAY 8 OCTOBER 11.00AM

The twisting motivic cells of Paul Stanhope’s first String Quartet reveal themselves across a series of energetic and evocative tableaux: a brooding, argumentative opening reflects on the shortcomings of Australian politics; a lyrical lullaby recalls the redemptive innocence of childhood; a blues-inflected dance finale culminates in a bravura coda. Brahms wrote his third and final String Quartet in B flat, Op. 67 ‘to avoid facing the serious countenance of a symphony’. Although composed in a single year and described by the composer as ‘a useless trifle’, the work is now considered one of the most flawlessly crafted quartets in the repertoire. Atypically bright, optimistic and full of humour, it makes the perfect conclusion to the Australian String Quartet’s third morning concert at UKARIA for 2021.

Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Complimentary Devonshire tea will be served prior to the performance. Tickets Adult (A) $50 Concession (C) $45 Student (S) $25

ALFRESCO RENOVATIONS In response to the wonderful growth of our cultural program, our alfresco area is currently being reconfigured to provide a larger and more comfortable space for patrons to enjoy at all times of the year. Our architect Anton Johnson has designed the space to maintain the existing atmosphere and connection with the landscape, and truly embrace the garden and surrounding views. The space will be fully enclosed with glass sliding doors that can be opened on warm summer days and closed on cooler winter nights. A retractable glass partition will also give us the possibility to create a separate area for small dining groups, functions and preconcert talks. A polished concrete floor with in-slab heating will greatly enhance the experience for dinners and lunches. A beautiful hemlock acoustic ceiling (like the one currently used in the concert hall foyer) will reduce the ambient noise during periods of congestion and provide a seamless transition into the concert hall. In order to facilitate construction for the upgrade, the alfresco area will be closed to the public from the beginning of April until the end of September. This will have a few implications for your UKARIA experience. We greatly appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Temporary Bar: Refreshments and Afternoon Tea During construction of the new alfresco, refreshments and afternoon tea will be served in our temporary bar on the southern side of the property, adjacent to the artists’ car park and the Ngeringa vineyards. To access the temporary bar, please exit the concert hall and head towards the artists’ greenroom. Our frontof-house team will be on hand to ensure you find your way.

Toilet Access During April–September, access to the toilets will be through the concert hall foyer, adjacent to the main entrance of the auditorium, through what was formerly our staff office. There will be signage to ensure the entrance is clearly visible, and our front-of-house team will be on hand to assist you to find your way. Disabled Parking There are limited disabled parking bays along the driveway on the right of the property, however we encourage patrons who have difficulty walking up the garden paths to attend events with a friend who can drop them near the top before returning down to the main car park at the bottom of the garden. The parking bays near our alfresco (usually reserved for mobility-impaired access) will not be available until the end of September. We apologise for any inconvenience.
