Festival of Turtles
Classical Music Concert
Featuring “Kurrajong Ensemble”
Wednesday 8th of May, 6:30pm for a 7pm start
Tickets: Adults $25pp Students $5pp
Kurrajong Ensemble will present a varied programme of music from the 18th century to the present day. For the C18th music Fran and Keith will be using flutes which are exact replicas of the instruments used at the time and have an entirely different sound from modern instruments. The difference between the modern instruments and the C18th ones is enormous - most people who play one don't also play the other, because of the big differences in both technique and musical gesture required … Fran and Keith were among the pioneers of this in Australia.
The salon music of the C19th provides some beautifully crafted repertoire from a time when most people played an instrument and would play together as recreation. This music is deceptively easy-listening on one level but surprisingly well crafted, fun to play, and sometimes flashy. Fran has composed some new works for Kurrajong Ensemble and we will present at least one of these in the concert.
The TACC Bar will be open to purchase drinks from 6:30pm and during intermission. Light nibbles will be provided during intermission.
