Newcastle Conservatorium 2014 Program

20 Feb, 2014  Thursday Musica Viva presents Kelemen Quartet. Combining youthful brilliance with the finest Hungarian tradition, the Kelemen Quartet’s energetic flair and striking charisma adds a thrilling modern zest to their performance of music from their great compatriot Bartok alongside a world premiere by Ross Edwards and well-known masterpieces. 7.30pm
27 Feb, 2014  Thursday Song Company. Fire of Love. From the courtly romance of the troubadours to the sensuous madrigal musings of Marenzio, this concert explores the fire of emotion. 7.00pm
20 March, 2014
Thursday
Musica Viva presents Sitkovetsky Trio. This award-winning trio of acclaimed young solosits is conquering the globe with its unusual blend of dazzling virtuosity and heartfelt, thoughtful artistry. Their delight in playing together reaches out across the footlights to touch audiences in music by Smetana, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and a new work by Carl Vine. 7.30pm
27 March, 2014 Thursday Free Lunchtime Concert. American cellist Eugene Friesen four time Grammy Award Winner. Friesen has broken new ground for the cello, using it in a wide variety of non-classical settings and creating new techniques to expand its role as a solo and accompanying instrument 1.00pm
10 April, 2014 Thursday Free Lunchtime Concert. Romano Crivici. Crivici’s music has its roots in pop, contemporary, classical and native Australian sources…simple, haunting melodic patterns. 1.00pm
15 May, 2014Thursday Musica Viva presents American Brass Quintet. In their first Australian appearance for four decades, the world’s leading ‘high priests of brass’ bring their rich-toned and perfectly matched sound to this unforgettable, masterly concert, spanning the centuries from the grandeur of Renaissance Venice to the high-octane excitement of the 21st century. 7.30pm
4 Sept, 2014Thursday Musica Viva presents Imogen Cooper. One of the greatest pianists of her generation, Imogen Cooper CBE makes a long overdue return to Australia for this special program highlighting her poetic, insightful interpretations of the composers closest to her heart: Brahms, Schubert and Schumann. 7.30pm
25 Sept, 2014Thursday Musica Viva presents Borodin Quartet. The legendary Borodin String Quartet is approaching its 70th concert season, so every concert glows with the unmistakable authenticity of experience and knowledge: the power behind the mighty ‘Borodin sound’, heard at its finest in music by Shostakovich and Beethoven. 7.30pm
8 Nov, 2014Thursday Musica Viva presents Ray Chen with Timothy Young. Raised in Brisbane, jet-setting virtuoso Ray Chen is one of the brightest stars in the new generation of violinists. His first national recital tour (with the sensitive accompaniment of Timothy Young) has all the spectacular fireworks you could wish for, from the elegant finesse of Mozart and Prokofiev to the exuberant acrobatics of Sarasate. 7.30pm
