Thanks for your patience while I was concentrating on recovery from shoulder and then knee replacement. With a lovely mix of new and old friends, we’ll be bringing you a delicious, predominantly French piano trio program to start and then two groups featuring wind instruments, including a W&F first, the bassoon!

I first heard the brilliant Todd Gibson-Cornish when he was just 15 and since then, his career has taken him all over the world. We’ll play a fascinating and even funky program for bassoon and strings, including two Australian premieres, which I’m sure will give a new appreciation for just what this instrument can do.

Lastly, a group of Melbourne’s musical leaders who need no introduction, including the inimitable David Griffiths, join forces to present two of the best clarinet showcases ever written – Weber and Brahms Quintets – along with Germaine Tailleferre’s only string quartet.

We look forward to seeing you at Scotch College, Camberwell Uniting Church, St Stephen’s Richmond and Tempo Rubato.
