Two of Australia’s most accomplished pianists, Geoffrey Tozer and Ian Munro, team up to form a piano duo to play some of the celebrated works in the piano four-hand literature. This will be their inaugural performance together.

The centrepiece of the program will be the Schubert Fantasy in F Minor. They will also play works by Mozart, Fauré and Satie, and a new work composed especially for the concert by Ian Munro.

Kangaroo Valley Hall

Located within the village, Kangaroo Valley Hall has extensive on and off-street parking. Level access and amenities are available.

Hear Australia’s favourite soprano, Yvonne Kenny in recital, accompanied by Andrea Katz. For this wonderful event we have commissioned our renowned local composers, Martin Wesley-Smith and Andrew Ford to each compose a song for Ms Kenny. The program will also include works by Schubert and Liszt.

Marquee

Located on the oval of the Kangaroo Valley showgrounds, the Marquee has ample off-street parking.

One of Australia’s most popular guitar quartets, Guitar Trek is unique because it uses all the instruments in the guitar family (from bass to soprano) and performs an unusual repertoire, much written especially for this ensemble.

Led by one of Australia’s most respected guitarists, Timothy Kain, this group has been wowing audiences with their virtuosity. Their program will include works by Holst, Piazzolla and De Falla, and will feature two brilliant Australian works: Six Fish by Nigel Westlake and Songs and Marches by local composer Martin Wesley-Smith.

A rare chance to hear the brilliant Brett Dean playing in recital with one of Australia’s most sought-after pianists, Ian Munro. The program will include a Brahms sonata, works by Dean, himself a wonderful composer, and ensemble works including other festival musicians, such as the magnificent Debussy Trio, where Dean will be joined by Alice Giles (harp), and Geoffrey Collins (flute).

Marquee

Located on the oval of the Kangaroo Valley showgrounds, the Marquee has ample off-street parking.

Match Percussion’s Daryl Pratt and Alison Eddington will perform Water Settings written by Pratt about the local water bodies, including Jervis Bay and Seven Mile Beach. Pratt’s work documents his response to the region, especially during his time as Artist-in-Residence at the Bundanon Estate. Match will also play the gentle Djilile by Peter Sculthorpe and Cross Hatch by the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu.

The second half of this concert will feature the world premiere of Andrew Ford’s Elegy in a Country Graveyard which takes the Robertson cemetery as its focal point. The cemetery is as old as Robertson itself, and Ford’s Elegy evokes its past and present through the memories of local people. Their voices, together with environmental sounds, are woven into a rich tapestry of sound with local choirs and the Southern Highlands Concert Band. The production of the tape part of this work is a co-production with the ABC’s Listening Room.

Elegy in a Country Graveyard is a musical work unique to the area. This will be its world premiere performance. This concert is supported by Shoalhaven Arts Board.
