Golden Blues

Selby & Friends' 2024 Season opens with a brilliant program of variety, virtuosity and soulful melody.

Bringing together again the dynamic ensemble of violinist Alexandra Osborne and cellist Clancy Newman with Artistic Director Kathryn Selby, who together stunned audiences in 2023, we present a combination of trios and duos – a global favourite by Arvo Pärt, an Australian Premiere by our guest cellist, the gorgeous Schumann Fantasy Pieces – and we top and tail with an early Beethoven piano trio and Dvořák’s masterpiece. All in all, a completely satisfying and fascinating season opener.
