The enchanting combination of flute and harp unites two young soloists
in a recital celebrating Spain’s national dances and folk music.
About this Event In today’s deadline-driven world, there are so few
moments of spontaneity to be experienced. Freedom is scarce and time
is a limited resource for many. Everything is pre-programmed and
scheduled in, and our emotions are anticipated ahead of time. One rare
exception occurs in live music performance. Especially when it comes
to chamber music, being part of the audience allows us to feel close
to the music as it unfolds. Permit yourself an hour to switch off,
recharge and disconnect from deadline mode. Rebel against your
smartphone. Dare to get nothing done! From your seat, you have the
chance to lose yourself in the music being played right in front of
you. We invite you to sit back, let your mind wander and share this
rare exchange of music between performers and audience, only
achievable in the intimacy of the chamber music salon. Music can only
speak for itself when it is played, and heard. The creative moments of
live performance which remain unpredictable for musicians and
audiences alike can’t be described in advance. The effect can only
be felt through our exchange with you, thanks to your presence in the
concert hall. PROGRAM Presented in collaboration with Delmar Gallery,
Trinity Grammar School, the enchanting combination of flute and harp
unites two of Australia's vibrant young soloists, Jonathan Henderson
and Emily Granger, in a recital celebrating the rich heritage of
Spain’s national dances and folk music. Redolent with Spanish
motifs, two robust miniatures by Jacques Ibert and Alphonse Hasselmans
beautifully evoke the flamenco guitar. Paris-dwelling composers
Maurice Ravel and Emmanuel Chabrier yield elegant interpretations of
the Habañera, owing to their long-standing admiration of Spanish
culture from neighbouring France. A cornerstone of the Spanish
Baroque, Les Folies d'Espagne of Marin Marais offers a suite of
variations adapted for solo flute. At the heart of this recital sits a
deeply evocative rêverie – Manuel De Falla’s melancholic Nocturno
, and the widely popular Seven Spanish Folksongs , a cycle in
strikingly diverse regional styles imbued with Hispanic flair.
François Borne's Fantasie Brillante on Themes from Bizet’s Carmen
spins the flute in virtuosic threads around a charming opera melody
potpourris, not without the infamous Habañera, Chanson Bohème and
beloved Toreador. works by MAURICE RAVEL, MARIN MARAIS, GEORGES BIZET,
JACQUES IBERT, EMMANUEL CHABRIER, MANUEL DE FALLA and more This
concert is approximately 60 minutes in duration, no interval with a
reception to follow. ARTISTS Emily Granger | Harp Jonathan Henderson |
