Ironwood is busy rehearsing for its' next lot of concerts - Brahms String Sextet G major; a Georges Onslow String Quintet & a Mendelssohn 'Capriccio' - a lovely little fragment for string quartet. Quite a departure from the last couple of weeks of classical and modern repertoire.
Great fun, and great to explore all the portamento, shifting and vibrato of the 19th century. Ironwood this week is made up of Alice Evans & Lisa Stewart (violins); Nicole Forsyth & Valmai Coggins (viola); Danny Yeadon & James Beck (cell0).
We have two concerts in this series - Thursday 3 July at Elizabeth Bay House and Saturday 5 July 5.30 for 6pm at North Head, Manly in the Former Artillery School Ballroom,Sydney Harbour Trust, North Head Sanctuary. Elizabeth Bay House is sold out, but if you'd like tickets for the North Head one, ring 0419 484 323 to reserve one, or at the door on the night.
Lisa took the photo above, which looks toward Fairy Bower and Shelley Beach, Manly, just below North Head. Paradise, eh? Next concert series on a tropical island, perhaps?....
