This concert opens with an extraordinary Suite by eight accomplished Australian composers from every state and territory. Entitled Fire Dances and commissioned by the ABC, it follows the distinctive voices from across the country to create a narrative arc that journeys through the trajectory of a bushfire, from the haze of distant fires through the whirling terror of engulfing flames to meditations on regeneration and regrowth.
To accompany this Suite are two gorgeous works by Robert Schumann whose own narrative changed the way in which music was understood. The iconic Trio by Mendelssohn completes the story with joie de vivre. Returning favourite, Natalie Chee, joins young, brilliant Australian cellist Richard Narroway, who, with Kathy Selby, bring this brilliant concert to life!
