It's happened
The recording sessions for a Virtuosi compact disc at Government House Hobart went well. Virtuosi is extremely grateful to the generosity of His Excellency the Honourable Peter Underwood AO, Governer of Tasmania, for allowing us to use the Government House Ballroom for the recording. The Ballroom has excellent acoustics well suited for chamber music. It's now in the hands of the recording team.
The September Concerts
L-R Paul Taylor, Wendy Page, William Newbery, Miranda Carson, Chris Waller, Lucy Carrig-Jones, John Panckridge, Stephen Martin
Those on our email and mailing lists will now know about the upcoming concerts in September.
Franz Berwald's Grand Septet in B flat was a concert favourite in the 1800s. It was first published in 1828, the same time as Schubert's Octet, and it uses the same instrumentation as Beethoven's Septet.
From this classical piece we will take you to a more contemporary mode, an octet by Jean Françaix (1912-1997) one of the most frequently played French composers today.
You can enjoy these wonderful pieces on:
| Friday | 12th | September | 7pm | Meadowbank Estate Cambridge | 6248 4484 | |
| Saturday | 13th | September | 11am | Peppermint Bay Woodbridge | 6267 4088 | |
| Sunday | 14th | September | 2pm | Devonport Regional Gallery Devonport |
Please call the vineyards and make a reservation if you want to enjoy a meal after the concerts.
