Don't miss our very first concerts of our 2010 series, entitled 'Haydn The Bold, Haydn the Beautiful'- Love and Loss; Storm and Stress; Classical Symmetry and the emergence of Romantic Spirit.
This is the story of Haydn’s little heard Opus 20 quartets and his later regal Opus 77 quartets, with the beautiful textures and warm sounds of gut stringed instruments. Visit an age of eighteenth century elegance and intrigue with twenty-first century time-travellers Ironwood. We take you on a dramatic musical journey in a program which includes a beautiful miniature by Boccherini, and a world premiere by Australian composer Damian Barbeler, Silk Panels for gut stringed instruments of the classical age.
