WELCOME The seasonal changes of nature remind us that there are forces at work in the universe that are infinitely larger and more complex than ourselves. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a timely affirmation that we must learn to listen to nature once again, and to surrender whatever grand plans we may have had for the future to the natural current of time and life. With international border restrictions still in place, it will be some time before we are able to present artists from overseas. The months of silence in the concert hall have precipitated several changes to the way we release our cultural program. Our annual season launch has been replaced by four quarterly releases, and our traditional series-based programming has been given a more organic, flexible architecture, like nature itself. In Summer–Autumn, we showcase some of Australia’s most extraordinary creative minds more intimately than ever before: current social distancing requirements mean that reduced capacities are likely to be in place for each event. We remain optimistic that, before too long, these restrictions will ease. As always, we will keep you informed through our newsletters. To offset some of the demand for tickets, we’ve negotiated additional performances for many of these events, which we will announce as required. It is our great pleasure to invite you back to UKARIA to experience once more the rejuvenating force of live music in nature.

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET WITH SHARON GRIGORYAN
Haydn and Schubert
Photo: Jacqui Way
FRIDAY 29 JANUARY 11.00AM
‘If only your pure and clean mind could touch me, dear Haydn, nobody has greater reverence for you than I have.’ – Franz Schubert (1797–1828) Dale Barltrop | Violin I Francesca Hiew | Violin II Stephen King | Viola Michael Dahlenburg | Cello Sharon Grigoryan | Guest Cello
10
Universally recognised as the ‘father of the string quartet’, Haydn made over sixty contributions to the genre. Composed in 1769, the dramatic String Quartet in D minor, Op. 9 No. 4, was the first to utilise both the minor mode and the four-movement form that would become defining features of the works of Beethoven and Schubert.
Composed in the final weeks of his life, Schubert’s String Quintet in C (1828) pushed the boundaries of the conventional quartet by adding the warmth of an additional cello, creating an even greater variety of contrasting sonorities and textures. This concert commemorates the passing of the baton from Sharon Grigoryan to Michael Dahlenburg (the new ASQ cellist), creating a unique opportunity to hear them both in the same concert.
Duration Approximately one hour without interval. Note Devonshire tea will be served prior to the performance from 10.00am.

TARYN FIEBIG, SALLY WALKER AND TAMARA-ANNA CISLOWSKA
Enchanted Gardens SUNDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2.30PM
The shade is soft and my master sleeps, A cone-shaped silken cap on his head, And his long yellow nose in his white beard. But I am still awake, Listening to the song Of a flute outside that pours forth Sadness and joy in turn, A tune now languorous now lively, Which my dear lover plays. And when I draw near the casement, Each note seems to fly From the flute to my cheek Like a mysterious kiss. – Tristan Klingsor, La flute enchantée
Helpmann Award-winning soprano Taryn Fiebig joins acclaimed musicians Sally Walker (flute) and Tamara-Anna Cislowska (piano) to explore the exquisite combination of soprano, flute and piano. Featuring works by Delibes, Massenet, Ibert, Saint-Säens, Ravel and others, this program evokes the meditative, healing qualities of French gardens – at a time when the UKARIA garden is itself at its most enchanting. Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after the performance.

SOPHIE ROWELL, JULIAN SMILES, DAVID GRIFFITHS AND AURA GO
Quartet for the End of Time FRIDAY 12 FEBRUARY 6.30PM
SATURDAY 13 FEBRUARY 6.30PM
2020 This concert has been rescheduled from the 2020 Season Sunset: Approximately 8.11pm ‘Between three and four in the morning, the awakening of birds: a solo blackbird or nightingale improvises, surrounded by a shimmer of sound, by a halo of trills lost high in the trees. In the middle section are the impalpable harmonies of heaven. In the piano, sweet cascades of blue-orange chords, enclosing in their distant chimes the almost plainchant song of the violin and cello. The abyss is Time with its sadness, its weariness. The birds are the opposite to Time; they are our desire for light, for stars, for rainbows, and for jubilant songs. Music of stone, formidable granite sound; irresistible movement of steel, huge blocks of purple rage, icy drunkenness. The angel appears in full force, especially the rainbow that covers him (the rainbow, symbol of peace, wisdom and all luminescent and sonorous vibration). Its slow ascent to the acutely extreme is the ascent of man to his god, the child of God to his Father, the being made divine towards Paradise.’
MENU Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Trio in E flat, Op. 1 No. 1 Béla Bartók Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin and Piano, Sz. 111 Olivier Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time Duration Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note Both performances feature the same program. A two-course dinner will follow at 8.30pm (separate booking required).

Composed in a prisoner-of-war camp during World War II with the only instruments available to him, Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time was first performed outside and in the rain, for an audience of around 400 fellow prisoners and guards in Stalag VIII-A. It is now recognised as one of the masterpieces of the twentieth century.

WILLIAM BARTON
Birdsong at Dusk
FEATURING VÉRONIQUE SERRET SATURDAY 20 FEBRUARY 6.30PM Sunset: Approximately 8.04pm ‘I was inspired to write Birdsong at Dusk at a friend’s beach house in Mango Avenue in Mackay, in far north-western Queensland. The waves of the ocean were floating upon the sand while the birds were singing their song. With a piano close to the verandah, I began to write: overlooking the inlet on a low tide, the sun drifting to meet the sky, I listened to the birdsong at dusk.’
Duration Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note A two-course dinner will follow at 8.30pm (separate booking required).

– William Barton The ancient Peramangk country surrounding UKARIA is full of memory: funerals and ceremonies have been held at the Mount Barker Summit for thousands of years. Although much of the language and cultural practises of the original custodians have not survived, the existence of UKARIA ensures that the site remains a meeting place for music. In an unmissable union of light, landscape, Indigenous traditions and Western classical music, ARIA-Award winning didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton joins Véronique Serret (violin) to play ‘chamber music at its most primal and contemporary’ (Gramophone). As the last golden rays of sunlight illuminate the summit and the sky turns to flame, the deep, powerful, buzzing drones of the didgeridoo commune with the chromatic slides of stringed instruments, becoming indistinguishable from the chorus of birdsong in the garden.

DAVID GRECO AND ERIN HELYARD
Die schöne Müllerin SUNDAY 21 FEBRUARY 2.30PM ‘So sing me your magic music And flow where you will flow Wherever you may lead me I’m more than glad to go.’ – Wilhelm Müller (1794–1827)
Following their 2018 recording of the great song cycle Winterreise, David Greco (baritone) and Erin Helyard (fortepiano) continue their historically informed exploration of the great song cycles of Schubert with Die schöne Müllerin (The Fair Maid of the Mill). This iconic work follows a young miller, his unrequited love for the miller’s beautiful daughter, and the brook that seems to speak to him and act as a mirror for his growing sadness. At turns joyful and spring-like, at others heartbreaking and despondent, it is a complex and beautiful set of songs that has been recorded countless times by many of the greatest performers of the twentieth century. David and Erin present a very different Müllerin; an interpretation that retains all the beauty of the work we know and love, but also reveals new colour, expression and personality as Schubert might have intended it. Duration | Approximately seventy minutes without interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after the performance.

GRIGORYAN BROTHERS
This is Us
SATURDAY 27 MARCH 2.30PM SUNDAY 28 MARCH 2.30PM A smiling, sepia photograph and a lock of hair in a golden locket: memento of personal grief. A Thylacine pelt from Tasmania: symbol of extinction, transience; an irretrievable past. A cricket bat used and autographed by Sir Donald Bradman: a benchmark of national achievement. A rusted gate from the entrance to the Kinchela Aboriginal Boys Training Home in northern NSW: a testament to a dark, brutal past. These objects evoke powerful stories of Australian history. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the opening of the National Museum of Australia, guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan have selected eighteen evocative objects from the collection in Canberra, composing deeply personal responses to them that take us through histories of early Indigenous Australians to the making of contemporary Australian society. Beginning with their own experiences of migration and familial reinvention, this unique project will exhibit some of these priceless artefacts in concert experiences that collectively highlight moments of the continent’s complex history. The project breaks new ground in advancing our cultural life and sustaining our collective sense of who we are, suggesting new ways of collaborating in a world searching for ways to cope with technological change and the existential threats of our times. Commissioned by the National Museum of Australia with support from Ulrike Klein AO. Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Both performances feature the same program and exhibit the same objects. Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after each performance.

TINALLEY STRING QUARTET WITH JOHN BELL
Beethoven’s Letters SATURDAY 10 APRIL 2.30PM SUNDAY 11 APRIL 11.00AM SUNDAY 11 APRIL 2.30PM
2020
This concert has been rescheduled from the 2020 Season
Voted Australia’s favourite composer in the ABC’s Classic 100 survey by nearly 130,000 people, Beethoven remains classical music’s most iconic revolutionary. Beneath the rigour of his string quartets lies a humanism embodying the ideals of fraternity, enlightenment and democracy. While this music is often an affirmation of resilience, his letters reveal an inner life tortured by circumstance. To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, the Tinalley String Quartet take us through some of the most enduring chamber music ever written, while Shakespearean actor John Bell weaves a narrative from eighteen of Beethoven’s letters, culminating with the devastating Heiligenstadt Testament. Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Each performance features the same program. Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after the 2.30pm performances. Complimentary morning tea will be served prior to the 11.00am performance.

PHILIP QUAST WITH ANNE-MAREE MCDONALD SATURDAY 17 APRIL 7.30PM After his hugely successful appearance at The Adelaide Cabaret Festival in 2019, multi-award-winning actor and singer Philip Quast makes his debut at UKARIA – the first in a series of musical theatre concerts curated by Simon Gleeson. A three-time Olivier Award recipient, Philip has starred in major musicals, plays and films across the UK, the US and Australia. Best known for his definitive portrayal of Javert in Les Misérables, other notable roles have included Georges Seurat in Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, and Emile de Becque in Rogers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific. His film and television credits include Hacksaw Ridge (2016), Truth (2015), Picnic at Hanging Rock (2018), Janet King (2016) and Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries (2015). Accompanied by Anne-Maree McDonald at the piano, Philip will share the stories and songs that have defined his remarkable career, from his humble upbringing on a turkey farm in Tamworth, to the glitz and glamour of West End and Broadway. Often hilarious, sometimes outrageous, and always authentic, this ‘enchanted evening’ will be the next best thing to having the much-loved Play School presenter in your own lounge room.

DAVID GRIFFITHS WITH TIMOTHY YOUNG, SVETLANA BOGOSAVLJEVIC AND THE AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET
Brahms: The Complete Works for Clarinet SUNDAY 18 APRIL
‘A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why.’ – Percy Bysshe Shelly (1792–1822)
11.00am Sonata for Clarinet and Piano in F minor, Op. 120 No. 1 Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano in A minor, Op. 114 Followed by Light Lunch
By the age of fifty-seven, Brahms was all but done with composition. Fortunately, he shared a special bond with Richard Mühlfeld (his ‘dear nightingale’), who managed to coax the composer out of his autumnal repose for one last swansong. These post-retirement years were remarkably fruitful: the Clarinet Trio and Quintet were composed in a single summer in 1891, and two additional sonatas for clarinet and piano followed in 1894. Mühlfeld had revealed the clarinet’s true range of character, awakening new musical possibilities. Melbourne-based clarinettist David Griffiths has been playing these twilight masterpieces for years. He joins pianist Timothy Young, cellist Svetlana Bogosavljevic and the Australian String Quartet to perform the complete cycle of works for clarinet, described by Jan Swafford as ‘the only true love songs to an instrument Brahms ever wrote’.

VIKA BULL PAUL GRABOWSKY THURSDAY 22 APRIL 7.30PM FRIDAY 23 APRIL 7.30PM SATURDAY 24 APRIL 7.30PM
2020 This concert has been rescheduled from the 2020 Season For thirty years, Vika Bull’s glorious voice has been one of the most emotionally charged sounds on the Australian musical landscape. Since a multi-platinum conquest of pop radio with The Black Sorrows in the late 1980s, she’s forged pathways into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of her Tongan ancestry. Her rich solo vocals and instinctive harmonies have spawned eight albums with her sister Linda, as well as studio and concert performances with Paul Kelly, Renee Geyer, Kasey Chambers, John Butler and Dan Sultan. Since 2013 Vika has taken the lead in At Last: The Etta James Story, playing to packed houses throughout Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Come and experience the essence of Vika’s art in an intimate exchange with Paul Grabowsky. Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval.

KRISTIAN WINTHER, UMBERTO CLERICI AND DANIEL DE BORAH
Schumann and Ravel SUNDAY 25 APRIL 11.00AM SUNDAY 25 APRIL 2.30PM
2020 This concert has been rescheduled from the 2020 Season ‘… Schumann invited much of our pianistic writing… of our harmonic feeling… we must place very, very highly – perhaps higher even than all the others – a musician who, with the seven wretched notes of the scale, somehow expresses so fully what lives in the human heart.’ – Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) The charismatic Italian cellist Umberto Clerici is a musician we’ve built a strong connection with over the years. Outside of his demanding schedule, one of his great joys is playing chamber music. When we invited Umberto to put together an ensemble, he expressed a desire to play with Kristian Winther (violin) and Daniel de Borah (piano). Put the three together, and you have a powerhouse trio – perfect for this program, which concludes with Ravel’s masterpiece, composed upon the outbreak of World War I. Robert Schumann Piano Trio No. 2 in F, Op. 80 Maurice Ravel Piano Trio in A minor Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Both performances feature the same program. Complimentary morning tea will be served prior to the 11.00am performance. Complimentary afternoon tea will be served after the 2.30pm performance.

INCREDIBLE FLORIDAS: CHAMBER LANDSCAPES CURATED BY KIM WILLIAMS FRIDAY 5–MONDAY 8 MARCH It’s uncommon knowledge that corporate leader Kim Williams is a composer and passionate philanthropic advocate for new Australian music. His 2017 Peggy Glanville-Hicks lecture, one of the most inspirational public statements on art ever delivered in this country, was triggered by anger at a former Prime Minister’s refusal to deem Peter Sculthorpe worthy of a State Funeral, and an anxiety that art music, ‘as core to my being as breathing,’ was in danger of becoming irrelevant to most. It was also peppered with wit and fun. Riffing on his friend Christopher Hogwood’s Academy of Ancient Music (which took its name from a seventeenth-century ensemble specialising in music two decades old, and, on occasion, pre-historic relics from a century ago), he proposed a hypothetical ‘New Academy of Ancient Australian Music’ to ‘promote… fresh creative adventure and to know and honour our creative past.’ The 2021 Adelaide Festival proudly gives him that opportunity: Incredible Floridas is an entertaining and mind-expanding weekend that honours our musical elders and mounts a bold assault on cultural amnesia. A stellar Australian cast performs not only major works by Sculthorpe, Glanville-Hicks, Richard Meale, Margaret Sutherland, Ross Edwards, Percy Grainger and Alfred Hill, but also those of the current generation that stand on their shoulders. All this alongside seminal European music of the twentieth century that deeply informed their styles.
34
Yes, there is challenging material, but the curator’s hand balances it with ‘ancient’ and more recent hits: Elena Kats-Chernin’s Wild Swans Suite, Grainger’s Handel in the Strand, Satie’s Gnossiennes, Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night and in a rare outing, the ‘other Right of Spring’: a theatrically authentic Pierrot Lunaire in all its glorious 1912 weirdness. There is even a screening of an experimental film by Peter Weir, and poetry readings will preface each fascinating program. Choose a concert, choose a day if you must but attendance for the entire weekend should be mandatory. It’s a UKARIA experience like no other.
