First annual Chamber Music Festival in Goulburn, NSW

Hume Conservatorium is excited to deliver the first annual Chamber Music Festival in Goulburn.

From the 16 -18 September Goulburn will come alive with music from across the region.

…featuring Gala performances from Ensemble Offspring, The Sydney Chamber Choir, and Simon Tedeschi and George Washingmachine.

At the Friday night Gala Ensemble Offspring’s very own musical mavericks Claire Edwardes (marimba) and Jason Noble (bass clarinet) join forces with acclaimed American harpist Emily Granger to unearth masterpieces from the depths of living musical imagination for their three monolithic instruments. An eclectic and engaging program that showcases three unique instrumentalists at their peak.

On Saturday morning local artists Richard Lane and Glenn Amer will take audiences on a trip down memory lane with Songs they Danced to. Prior to the morning concert you can learn a few quick steps for free with the Goulburn Social Dance Club. The Duo will bring to live songs for you to dance to, to fall in love to to life songs such as Blue Moon, The Way You Look Tonight and A Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Saturday Afternoon extraordinary concert pianist, Simon Tedeschi, is one of Australia’s best-loved classical musicians, performing everything from Mozart and Chopin to Debussy and Prokofiev for orchestras, festivals, and venues around the world, from Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall. With a long-harboured love of jazz, and three celebrated albums of Gershwin’s music to his name, tonight Tedeschi teams up with jazz vocalist and violinist, George Washingmachine, for something a little different – Gershwin favourites and classic jazz standards by Cole Porter, Oscar Peterson, Fats Waller and more.

Saturday Evening will be the Gala performance at St Saviours Cathedral with schools and Hume Conservatorium’s community choir Vocalocal performing with the Sydney Chamber Choir. Followed by a very special performance of Paul Stanhope’s Requiem. The Requiem has been nominated in the Apra Amcos Art Music Awards for Work of the Year Choral and will be an incredible opportunity to see this work. See classikON’s review of the premiere of this work here.

Both Friday and Saturday nights the Festival Club Cabaret will feature local acts Glenn Amer and Richard Lane and The Mike Baker Organ Trio.
