Concert 3 - Incandescence

Sunday 19 May 2024 at 11am

The third and final concert opens with the thrilling brutality of Osvaldo Golijov’s Last Round, followed by the world premiere of a new work by brilliant young Australian composer Annie Hsieh. Next, two 20th century masterworks: American master Samuel Barber’s rarely heard yet broodingly beautiful Dover Beach for baritone and string quartet, followed by Erwin Schulhoff’s kaleidoscopic first String Quartet. The 2024 festival finishes in a burst of radiance, with one of the most exciting works to have been composed in recent years, Olli Mustonen’s sublime 2nd Nonet.
