Dear Friends, I am writing to give you advance notice of the tenth Coriole Music Festival, to be held on Saturday 3rd May and Sunday 4th May 2008. Music Director, Christopher Burrell has been a guiding musical influence in the Festival since its inception, and this year continues to bring us truly wonderful music and an exciting range of artists, all of whom enjoy both national and international reputations. Performers include the Flinders Quartet from Melbourne; string players Dimity Hall and Julian Smiles and pianist Ian Munro from Sydney; soprano Rosalind Martin and violist Keith Crellin from Adelaide; and Roy Howat from London, a leading interpreter of French music. This year's Festival presents music from two different eras - classical Vienna, and Paris of the late 19th - early 20th century. We will hear two great classical quintets, Mozart's C major viola quintet, and a work inspired by this, the Schubert C major cello quintet. The Festival will also explore the flowering of 19th century French music with a range of works by Couperin, Fauré, Chabrier, Debussy and Ravel. Coriole Music Festival, with food and wine, takes place in the informal and delightful setting of Coriole Vineyards in South Australia's beautiful McLaren Vale. Our barrel room has a wonderful acoustic for chamber and vocal music. After each of the concerts, the musicians and audience have the opportunity to get to know each other over Coriole wines and delicious food prepared by Tina Llewellyn from "The Rolling Pin". Reservations are now open and as seating is limited, we advise you to book early. Payment will be charged in April. There is normally no written confirmation of your booking. However please ask for confirmation if required. Tickets and final programme will be forwarded in early April. I would be grateful to receive details of anyone you think may be interested in our festival but who may not be on our current mailing list. Alternatively we can email this offer for you to forward to other music-lovers.
