WELCOME

It’s been wonderful to see new audiences at UKARIA over the last few months, along with the return of patrons who’ve been attending our concerts for years. The Garden Terrace has added a new dimension to our cultural program, which has continued to flourish despite the lingering challenges of COVID-19. We’re particularly excited to see international artists return to UKARIA. The great Flamenco guitarist Paco Peña opens the season with the Grigoryan Brothers, before celebrated Spanish pianist Javier Perianes makes his debut with a beautifully constructed meditation on love and death. Legendary Finnish pianist Olli Mustonen plays Beethoven’s extraordinary final Sonata in C minor, Op. 111, and his program also includes all fifteen of Bach’s Sinfonias. In addition, you can hear Olli in a twilight recital with Richard Tognetti, followed by a Q&A and dinner with the artists. Three years ago we announced British violist Lawrence Power as the curator of UKARIA 24 for 2020. Universally praised for his ‘profound musical personality’ (Sunday Times), Lawrence has helped redefine how we think about the viola. In his hands, the instrument is achingly expressive, replicating the singing qualities of the human voice and transcending definitions of technical mastery. Whilst it was a huge disappointment that our weekend event could not go ahead as planned in 2020, we’re especially glad the stars have aligned to enable Lawrence not only to deliver the weekend in October this year, but to bring with him Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang, Swedish cellist Torleif Thedéen, and Italian pianist Alessio Bax. It’s remarkable to witness musicians of this calibre in such an intimate and special place, their art buoyed by you – our wonderfully receptive audience – and the light and landscape of UKARIA.

PACO PEÑA AND THE GRIGORYAN BROTHERS

Guitarra

FRIDAY 19 AUGUST 7.30PM

Once described by Guitar Player magazine as the ‘world’s greatest living guitarist’ and by The New York Times as a ‘virtuoso, capable of dazzling an audience with technical abilities beyond the frets of mortal man,’ Paco Peña embodies both authenticity and innovation in flamenco. As guitarist, composer, dramatist, producer and artistic mentor he has transformed perceptions of this archetypal Spanish art form. Guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan are counted amongst the finest Australian musicians of their generation, blessed with an uncanny ability to perform so seamlessly as a duo that they play and ‘breathe’ as one. The brothers have shared the stage with Paco on several occasions, most notably on Slava’s first international tour at the age of eighteen. They reunite in 2022 for the Australian tour of Guitarra, showcasing the precision and artistry of the acoustic guitar in a collaboration that combines the fiery flourishes of flamenco with the harmonious and colourful tones of classical music – a perfect synthesis of two musical worlds. This concert is generously sponsored by Knightsbridge Wealth Management.

JAVIER PERIANES

Love and Death SUNDAY 21 AUGUST 2.30PM

Spanish pianist Javier Perianes has garnered international renown as an artist of exquisite finesse and intelligence. Career highlights include appearances with the Vienna, New York and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestras, the Chicago and Boston Symphony Orchestras, Orchestre de Paris, the Royal Concertgebouw and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Charles Dutoit, Gustavo Dudamel, Simone Young and Vladimir Jurowski. Signed exclusively to harmonia mundi, Javier’s acclaimed recordings of Manuel de Falla, Mompou, Mendelssohn, Grieg, Debussy and Chopin have set new benchmarks. Performing in Australia with the Sydney and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras, Javier also makes his debut at UKARIA. Javier frames this recital around the most profound vicissitudes of human existence, love and death, exploring their inevitability and co-dependence, but also their capacity to transcend and console. United through their testaments to tragedy and transience, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Granados and Wagner are revealed here as the keenest of musical philosophers: their suffering ennobles our own, and says, more powerfully than words could ever express, ‘I too have experienced this: you are not alone.’

EMILY SUN AND ANDREA LAM

Nocturnes

SUNDAY 28 AUGUST 2.30PM

Since first capturing the world’s attention in the awardwinning documentary Mrs Carey’s Concert, Londonbased Australian violinist Emily Sun has won the hearts of audiences around the world. In 2021 she partnered with award-winning Australian pianist Andrea Lam to record Nocturnes – their debut album for ABC Classic. While both musicians have established an increasingly international presence, we’re delighted their touring schedules have aligned in Australia, allowing them to perform together at UKARIA for the first time.

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 Dining Options | Lentil soup with hot crusty bread can be pre-booked to enjoy before the concert ($15 per person).

At the heart of their program are two of the cornerstones of the repertoire: Mozart’s effervescent Violin Sonata in B flat, K.454, and Gabriel Fauré’s first Violin Sonata, full of rapturous melodies and audacious harmonies. The first half closes with three of Astor Piazzolla’s most intoxicating tangos. Floating like silken threads around these masterworks are exquisite, dream-like miniatures: the moonlit beauty of Debussy’s Clair de lune, and the yearning Nocturne by Lili Boulanger, one of the great poetic voices of French music.

SPRING ‘Now thin mists temper the slow-ripening beams Of the September sun: his golden gleams On gaudy flowers shine …. And in the feathery aster bees on wing Seize and set free the honied flowers, Till thousand stars leap with their visiting: While ever across the path mazily flit, Unpiloted in the sun, The dreamy butterflies With dazzling colours powdered and soft glooms, White, black and crimson stripes, and peacock eyes, Or on chance flowers sit, With idle effort plundering one by one The nectaries of deepest-throated blooms.’

ORAVA QUARTET

Driftwood

SUNDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2.30PM * This concert has been rescheduled from its original date of Sunday 1 August 2021.

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, the quartet will share music with which they have a deep personal affinity. They begin with Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 6 (the first work they ever played together) and conclude the first half with their signature showpiece: Wojciech Kilar’s Orawa, a symphonic poem inspired by highland folklore, evoking a river that flows through mountainous terrain at the Poland-Slovakia border. The folk theme drifts into the second half with two beguiling Nordic folk tunes arranged by the Danish String Quartet from their celebrated Wood Works album, followed by Elena Kats-Chernin’s For Theodora – a new work commissioned by Katrina Samios in memory of her mother. It tells the story of a Greek-Australian family’s connection to their heritage in four movements, representing four generations. The concert will culminate with Pavel Fischer’s Mad Piper quartet, drawing on Scottish, Czech, Bulgarian and Romanian folk music.

Daniel Kowalik | Violin David Dalseno | Violin Thomas Chawner | Viola Karol Kowalik | Cello Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served during the interval. Dining Options | Roasted cauliflower soup with hot crusty bread can be pre-booked to enjoy before the concert ($15 per person). Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

‘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.’ – Danish String Quartet

RICHARD TOGNET TI AND OLLI MUSTONEN

Debussy, Janáček and Bach SATURDAY 1 OCTOBER 6.00PM

Undoubtedly one of the most distinguished musicians Australia has ever produced, Richard Tognetti is a household name. He holds honorary doctorates from three Australian universities, was made a National Living Treasure in 1999, and celebrated his thirtieth anniversary as Artistic Director and Lead Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) in 2020. In this very special UKARIA event, Richard is joined by legendary Finnish pianist, composer and conductor Olli Mustonen (a longtime friend of the ACO) for a twilight recital, featuring music by Debussy, Janácek and Bach. After the performance, Toby Chadd (Director of Artistic Planning at the Australian Chamber Orchestra and a Director of UKARIA) will host a Q&A with the artists, followed by dinner in our beautiful Garden Terrace.

OLLI MUSTONEN

Bach and Beethoven SUNDAY 2 OCTOBER 2.30PM

‘Detail after detail is finely articulated, as though etched with the point of a needle […] the clarity and extraordinary finesse yield something I can only describe as visionary.’ – BBC Music Magazine Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra, Olli Mustonen has a unique place in today’s music scene. Following the tradition of great masters such as Rachmaninov, Busoni and Enescu, Mustonen combines the roles of composer, pianist and conductor in an equal balance that is quite exceptional, often bringing them together in fascinating triple-role performances. During an illustrious career spanning thirty-five years, Mustonen has brought his extraordinary musical insight to many of the world’s most significant orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, New York and Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestras, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw, Marinsky Theatre Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris and all of the London orchestras. A unique opportunity to see one of the world’s most exciting pianists in an intimate setting, Olli Mustonen makes his UKARIA debut performing music by Bach and Beethoven.

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

Adès and Beethoven FRIDAY 21 OCTOBER 11.00AM

‘The brilliant, elusive, fantastic world of Thomas Adès is illuminated in a most evocative collection of seven movements for string quartet, titled Arcadiana. Vanishing visions of the idyll – a Utopian world of natural splendour, both aquatic and pastoral – are conjured by an intricate and highly original string soundscape. One of Britain’s most celebrated composers alive today, Adès composed this work in 1994 and since then, it has gained a place as one of the most inventive and exquisitely crafted string quartets of our time. Schubert famously remarked of Beethoven’s Op. 131 quartet, “after this, what is left for us to write?” Indeed, it is with a sense of awe and curiosity that musicians and audiences alike

24


have pondered this work over the centuries. In seven movements that flow one into the next, from darkness to light, from solitude to ecstasy, the sheer impact of this epic journey may only be realised long after its final notes have subsided. With this work, the ASQ will embark on a multi-year exploration of Beethoven’s sublime late quartets, sharing their love and admiration for these timeless masterpieces.’ – Dale Barltrop Thomas Adès Arcadiana, Op. 12 Ludwig van Beeethoven String Quartet in C sharp minor, Op. 131

Dale Barltrop | Violin Francesca Hiew | Violin Christopher Cartlidge | Viola Michael Dahlenburg | Cello Duration | Approximately seventy minutes without interval.

CURATED BY LAWRENCE POWER FRIDAY 28–SUNDAY 30 OCTOBER

‘It’s always a great privilege being invited to share one’s musical interests and passions – especially in such a creative and inspiring environment as UKARIA. When I came here for the first time in 2018 I was taken by the desire to present music in a fresh and interesting way. As a musician I am fascinated by the way in which old and new can coexist. One of the reasons I perform new music and work with composers so often is that it gives me a freedom when returning to the classical repertoire. When dealing with a new score for the first time one is forced to react honestly to the main building blocks of music – rhythm and harmony – without any influence of past traditions. Isn’t this the greatest challenge to us when dealing with Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and all the great composers of the past, to react to their extraordinary scores as if for the first time? The program for these few days takes us all on a journey from some of the greatest seventeenth-century musical innovators, such as Biber and Westhoff, through to the current day with contemporary voices such as Luciano Berio, Olli Mustonen and Garth Knox. I will also present, on film, the Australian premiere of a work written for me by Thomas Adès, one of today’s most important composers, generously co-commissioned by UKARIA. I am honoured to be joined on this musical journey by some of my closest musical colleagues with whom I have collaborated all over the world. We are so looking forward to exploring this fascinating program with you.’

ONCE UPON A TIME FRIDAY 28 OCTOBER 7.30PM

‘In this program I’m excited to explore the potential of storytelling through music. Purcell and Locke give us the perfect overtures for each half with their Curtain Tunes, music expressly written to set the scenes of their respective dramas. The Three Berceuses by Thomas Adès from his opera The Exterminating Angel form a filmed framework for three evocative miniatures by Tárrega, Casals and Cage. Berio’s Naturale invites us into an intense drama between viola, percussion and Sicilian folk songs recorded on the streets of Palermo. Sergei Taneyev is one of the most curious figures in Russian music history. Often referred to as the Russian Bach, his refusal to continue in the tradition of Russian Romanticism led to criticisms of being purely academic and dry. I find his music utterly beguiling and his epic Piano Quintet is the perfect conclusion.’ – Lawrence Power Vilde Frang | Violin Sophie Rowell | Violin Lawrence Power | Viola Torleif Thedéen | Cello Alessio Bax | Piano Amanda Grigg | Percussion Henry Purcell ‘The Masque – Curtain Tune on a Ground’ from Timon of Athens, Z. 632 Thomas Adès Berceuse I from The Exterminating Angel Francisco Tárrega Recuerdos de la Alhambra 28

NEW PATHS – PART ONE SATURDAY 29 OCTOBER 4.00PM

‘In 1853 Robert Schumann published his famous article ‘Neue Bahnen’ (New Paths) in which he proclaimed the twenty-year-old Brahms to the world. In this two-part concert we will explore this idea of new paths and the extraordinary world of Brahms. As one of our greatest ever musical historians, his obsessions with old music were legendary as was his close relationship with Robert and particularly Clara Schumann, who became an important muse for him: he secretly quoted her name in works such as the G minor Piano Quartet that we hear this evening.’ – Lawrence Power Vilde Frang | Violin Lawrence Power | Viola Torleif Thedéen | Cello Alessio Bax | Piano

NEW PATHS – PART TWO SATURDAY 29 OCTOBER 6.30PM

‘In many ways the early Baroque composer Heinrich Biber represents a new path in history as one of the greatest musical innovators: Battalia à 10 is one of the first pieces of program music ever written. This creative maverick paved the way for future composers, most notably Bach, whose instrumental works stand firmly on Biber’s shoulders.

Heinrich Biber Battalia à 10

Tchaikovsky’s death in 1893 marked somewhat of a turning point in Russian music – Arensky’s neglected masterpiece is dedicated to his close friend’s memory, and touchingly quotes the fifth of Tchaikovsky’s Sixteen Songs for Children, Op. 54.’

EROICO SUNDAY 30 OCTOBER 11.00AM

‘Written for me in 2020, Eroico by Olli Mustonen is a short but frenzied Bach-inspired miniature, and the perfect prelude to this program. Alan Ridout’s heroic take on Ferdinand the Bull leads us to Beethoven’s first String Trio – an extraordinary work that points towards many of his later masterpieces such as the Eroica Symphony, written in the same key.’ – Lawrence Power Vilde Frang | Violin Lawrence Power | Viola Torleif Thedéen | Cello

FINALE SUNDAY 30 OCTOBER 2.30PM

‘Written for me in 2020, Quartet for One by Garth Knox is a creative gem. It tells the story of a violist performing with his quartet colleagues only to realise that it is sadly only him on stage! The neglected Norwegian composer Bjarne Brustad is a fascinating figure in twentieth-century music. His European travels in the 1920s led to him developing a unique voice as a composer, which these duets for violin and viola show perfectly. We finish this weekend of concerts with Fauré’s glorious second Piano Quartet. Comparatively little is known about its history: it was probably composed some time during the years 1885–86, just after Fauré had been awarded the Prix Chartier by the Academy of Fine Arts for his chamber music. The Second Quartet is undoubtedly one of the pinnacles of his chamber music output and it is difficult to understand why this superbly crafted and melodically generous work has never managed to achieve the popularity of the first. The slow movement was apparently inspired by a memory of the evening bells of the village of Cadirac, which Fauré frequently heard as a child. Westhoff’s visionary ‘Imitatione delle campane’ (Imitation of Bells) recreates the sounds of church bells on a solo string instrument – a wonderful musical magic trick.’

Garth Knox Quartet for One Bjarne Brustad Capricci for Violin and Viola Dmitry Shostakovich Sonata for Cello and Piano in D minor, Op. 40 INTERVAL Johann Paul von Westhoff ‘Imitatione delle campane’ from Sonata No. 3 in D minor Gabriel Fauré Piano Quartet No. 2 in G minor, Op. 45 Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval.

NATSUKO YOSHIMOTO AND DANIEL DE BORAH

Regensonate

SUNDAY 6 NOVEMBER 2.30PM

‘Billow, rain, billow down, Wake again my old songs That we sang inside the doorways When the drops sounded outside!’ – Klaus Groth (1819–1899), Regenlied Brahms’ Regensonate – the ‘Rain Sonata’ for Violin and Piano, Op. 78 – is based on themes from two of his Op. 59 songs: Nachklang (Echo) and Regenlied (Rain Song). Clara Schumann described these borrowed melodies to Brahms as ‘blissfully melancholic’, and yet, found hope in the delicately uplifting close of the final movement of the Regensonate. In her correspondence was revealed a touching fragility of spirit: ‘I always wish that last movement for myself at the passage from here to eternity.’

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 Dining Options | A Ploughman’s Lunch can be pre-booked to enjoy before the concert ($25).

Robert Schumann composed his first Violin Sonata in A minor, Op. 105, over just five days in 1851. Although initially unhappy with the result, with the help of Clara and violinist Joseph Joachim, by 1852 (the year he met Brahms) Schumann was satisfied that the work ‘struck the inmost strings of the heart’. It was in these later years of his life, while struggling with his declining mental health, that he was introduced to the young Brahms by Joachim, and their teacher-mentor relationship was forged. Natsuko Yoshimoto and Daniel de Borah, two of Australia’s finest chamber musicians, will give new life to these two iconic Romantic voices. The Schumann will be paired with Zoltán Kodály’s Adagio for Violin and Piano, while the Brahms is placed alongside the delicate and atmospheric Three Pieces for Violin and Piano by György Kurtág.

ADELAIDE CHAMBER SINGERS WITH UMBERTO CLERICI

The Canticle of the Sun

SUNDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2.30PM

42

‘It’s often stated that the cello is the most human of instruments… so the pairing of it in a simple yet masterly way, with a sublime choir, makes for compositions which fall upon the ear as both contemporary and indeed timeless.’ – Limelight Recently announced as Chief Conductor Designate of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and curator of UKARIA 24 in 2021, cellist Umberto Clerici has a unique artistic synergy with the Adelaide Chamber Singers (ACS). They first performed together at UKARIA in 2019 – with glorious voices and cello singing out from the fading sunlight and into the night.


In the first half, ACS (directed by Christie Anderson) find beauty amongst tragedy in a cappella works by Nigel Butterley, Arvo Pärt, Bob Chilcott and Jake Runestad, and Umberto performs contemplative masterpieces for solo cello by Domenico Gabrielli and Joseph-MarieClément Dall’Abaco. After the interval, cellist and choir become one in Sofia Gubaidulina’s monumental The Canticle of the Sun, inspired by the life and teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi. Composed for Mstislav Rostropovich’s seventieth birthday in 1997, this profound meditation contemplates all interconnected elements (air, water, fire and earth), ‘Brother Sun and Sister Moon’ and the glorification of both life and death.

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 Dining Options | A Ploughman’s Lunch is available to pre-order to enjoy before the concert ($25).

LIOR & DOMINI

Animal in Hiding SATURDAY 19 NOVEMBER 7.30PM

‘If you find yourself thinking no two voices have melded quite as seamlessly since Simon & Garfunkel, you wouldn’t be far off the mark.’ – The Sydney Morning Herald

This project is supported by the Australian Government’s Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) program.

Domini Forster leads you through the dusk-lit corridors of her intricate song-stories, each scene as intimate and lovelorn as tea-stained lace. Her distinctive voice shifts effortlessly from commanding call to lilting, whisper-close falsetto, earning her comparisons to the likes of Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell. Over recent years, Domini has toured extensively with renowned Australian singer-songwriter Lior, and the pair recently formed a collaboration project on the strength of their intrinsic connection as singers. In October 2021 their debut EP Animal in Hiding was released. While they began writing the songs in late 2019, much of the material was developed during Melbourne’s long lockdown, over Zoom from their respective homes. The title track, originally written about the isolation of winter, became the prophetic seed of the project.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Tickets Adult (A) $65 Concession (C) $60 Dining Options | Cheese and charcuterie platters are available to pre-order to enjoy before the concert ($25).

Animal in Hiding features songs that are rooted in intimate storytelling. Underpinned by intricate guitar, Lior and Domini’s close vocal harmonies are the focal point of the songs, harking back to the iconic folk duos of the 1960s. ‘In singing together, Domini and I discover a pair who can weave in and out of each other’s shadow. Somehow, we sense one another’s vocal nuances in real time. It is a rare musical synergy, one we felt compelled to capture in a collaborative project.’ – Lior

Ngaiire’s distinctive flair and style has won her wide acclaim, with her performances likened to a ‘magic show’ in The Sydney Morning Herald. This ‘magic’ is reflective of an artist between worlds, in her own words, ‘as slow and breezy as a New Islander but also as stubborn and passionate as a Highlander. A bit Australian but also a bit Kiwi.’ Working across these intersections, Ngaiire’s music consistently embraces the space in-between. Her recent album 3 emerged from a 2017 trip to Papua New Guinea, with her music responding to the environment and landscapes of her home country. This collaboration of Ngaiire and Paul Grabowsky promises new imaginings of past and present work from two artists especially conscious of space, and their place within it.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Tickets Adult (A) $65 Concession (C) $60 Dining Options | Cheese and charcuterie platters are available to pre-order before the concert ($25).

TIMO-VEIKKO VALVE AND AURA GO

Transcendence

SUNDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2.30PM

Last year, Timo-Veikko Valve (Principal Cello of the Australian Chamber Orchestra) and Aura Go (Coordinator of Piano at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music at Monash University) pulled off an astonishing feat of Beethovenian struggle, resilience and triumph when they performed the complete cycle of Cello Sonatas three times over one weekend to accommodate a COVID-reduced capacity of just 60 patrons per concert. Now that such restrictions have lifted, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to invite them back for an equally transcendental sequel. ‘There are a number of threads running through the program. One is the story of the cello and piano duo sonata through time – from Bach, through Beethoven, to Mustonen. Another is Bach himself – with Beethoven, Kate Moore and Mustonen paying homage to Bach in different ways in their quest for transcendence. And there is a more personal thread, particularly in the second half. We pay tribute to Jaakko Kuusisto, whose song cycle Tänaä Aamuna was dedicated to and performed by Tipi’s sister Liisa. We’ve discovered that these songs work beautifully on the cello – and also work very well with Helvi Leiviskä’s Cantabile. Kate’s solo work is dedicated to cellist Lidy Blijdorp and is a kind of “portrait piece” inspired by Bach and bell-bird calls. Mustonen’s Sielunlintu (Soul Bird) continues the bird theme, this time from ancient Finnish mythology in which the soul is carried by a bird at the time of birth and death.’ – Aura Go

Johann Sebastian Bach Sonata for Viola da Gamba and Keyboard in D, BWV 1028 Jean Sibelius Malinconia, Op. 20 Ludwig van Beethoven Sonata for Piano and Cello No. 5 in D, Op. 102 No. 2 INTERVAL Jaakko Kuusisto Tänä Aamuna, Op. 2 Helvi Leiviskä Cantabile Kate Moore Lidy’s Piece Olli Mustonen Sielulintu (Soul Bird) Sonata for Cello and Piano Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval.

SUMMER ‘My love is full of summertime, With doves a-swing in lilac trees, And magpies thick as summer leaves, Singing a fine, full-throated ease. The gold-white sunlight, thick as milk All through the silent leaves lies spilt, The summer birds dart, blue as silk. My love is full of summertime.

ANDREW HAVERON, KRISTIAN WINTHER, TOBIAS BREIDER, UMBERTO CLERICI AND KONSTANTIN SHAMRAY

Beethoven and Korngold

SATURDAY 3 DECEMBER 6.00PM

52

‘This project continues the experience of UKARIA 24 in 2021. Last year, when we knew that we had to isolate for two weeks according to border restrictions, we decided that the best way to enjoy that time together and to react to six very hard months without being able to play was to challenge ourselves with the most difficult program possible; and at the same time, create a program based on everyone’s individual dreams. It resulted in a festival with a great variety of pieces but the one that united the four of us the most was one of the last Beethoven quartets, Op. 131 – repertoire that usually scares even the most experienced quartets. It is definitely not for four individual players who meet, rehearse for two weeks and then play! But this became, at least for me, an amazing journey.


So, why not another of those philosophical works, a piece that even Beethoven didn’t dare to imagine presented for a public performance? So we decided on his thirteenth string quartet, Op. 130, with the original finale, the Grosse Fugue. Igor Stravinsky described it as “an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever.” I also wanted to include an honorary Adelaidian who had been an integral part of UKARIA 24 with us last year, Konstantin Shamray. After the amazing discoveries of the Taneyev Quartet and Schnittke Quintet, we thought that the extremely luxurious and late Romantic Korngold Piano Quintet, composed by the Jewish-Viennese master when he was twenty-four before being forced to emigrate to the US, would be an exciting pair with the very late Beethoven.’

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval. Dining Options | A two-course dinner will follow at 8.00pm (separate booking required). Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25

MORGAN PEARSE WITH ANTHONY HUNT AND THE AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

Whither Must I Wander SUNDAY 4 DECEMBER 2.30PM

Performing as Figaro in The Barber of Seville, Morgan Pearse’s debut performance with the English National Opera in 2015–16 announced a baritone of uncommon allure and magnetism. Renowned for his clarity of tone and enthralling performances, in 2016 he also won the prestigious Cesti Competition. Beyond the operatic stage, his recital programs from the Wigmore Hall to the Melbourne Recital Centre have confirmed him as an artist of refined and rare interpretive talent.

Ralph Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel (arr. Quentin Grant for baritone and string quartet)

Anthony Hunt is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied as a repetiteur in the specialist opera course. From 2013 he was Chorus Master with Opera Australia, until returning to Adelaide in 2020 as Chorus Master and Head of Music at State Opera South Australia, and as Director of Music at St Peter’s Cathedral.

Hugo Wolf ‘Harfenspielder I: Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergibt’ from Gedichte von Goethe

The Australian String Quartet joins Morgan for the peripatetic pleasures and pitfalls of Robert Louis Stevenson’s verse – set with the singularly deft touch of Ralph Vaughan Williams and arranged for baritone and string quartet by Quentin Grant. Samuel Barber’s brooding Dover Beach concludes the first half. After interval, Morgan and Anthony continue the program’s eastward amble with the elegant songs of Gabriel Fauré, finishing with Hugo Wolf’s late-Romantic lieder.

Duration | Approximately two hours, including a twenty-minute interval.

Samuel Barber Dover Beach, Op. 3 INTERVAL Gabriel Fauré L’horizon chimérique, Op. 118

Selections from Mörike-Lieder

Note | Complimentary afternoon tea will be served during the interval. Tickets Adult (A) $55 Concession (C) $50 Student (S) $25 Dining Options | A Ploughman’s Lunch can be pre-booked to enjoy before the concert ($25).

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

Mozart and Shostakovich FRIDAY 16 DECEMBER 11.00AM

‘The heart-wrenching key of D minor featured prominently in works throughout Mozart’s short life – his Requiem, the Overture to Don Giovanni and the great Piano Concerto No. 20, to name a few. The brooding drama of this key also plays a central role in his Quartet, K. 421, the second of six quartets that Mozart devoted to his great mentor, Haydn. The operatic melodrama and heightened pathos of this music pervade the quartet with tragic undertones, yet there is the sense that this is Mozart bearing his soul through the intimate conversation of four voices. Shostakovich also turned to the string quartet to express some of his most intimate and deeply held thoughts. The Ninth Quartet is no exception, being dedicated to his third wife in 1964, a period of relative calm after years of tumultuous personal and political turmoil for the composer. The five interconnected movements of this work continue the intense, highly personal style of the preceding quartets, while also foreshadowing the more bleak and sparsely textured quartets that were still to come. Yet this work stands apart from those around it in offering a glimpse of optimism and even a hint of rare, unabashed exuberance.’

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 Dmitri Shostakovich String Quartet in E flat, Op. 117 Duration | Approximately one hour without interval. Note | Complimentary Devonshire tea will be served prior to the performance from 9.45am. Tickets Adult (A) $50 Concession (C) $45 Student (S) $25
