St Alban's Anglican Church Hall, 3 Pembroke St Epping, Sydney NSW
Enjoy the baroque brilliance of Vivaldi and Purcell through to the 19th century flair of Tivadar Nachez and beyond in a celebration of the changing seasons from Spring to Christmas.
Dubbed musically combustible for their vibrant performances (Criticks UK), the Camerata's Baroque Reborn features* the vibrant Vivaldi Four Seasons: Spring and L’estro Armonico: Concerto for Four Violins alongside selections from his majestic Gloria and Christmas concerto Il Riposo. Shakespeare-inspired works including the beautiful duet and chorus from Purcell Tempest and a new setting of Ophelia’s Song by Camerata director Imogen Coward come together with seasonal vocal gems from across the centuries. The Camerata's love of dance music and championing performer-creators comes to the fore in the virtuosic Nachez Gypsy Dances.
Directed by musicologist-performer Dr Imogen Coward, Baroque Reborn features the Camerata ensemble with soloists Taliesin Coward, Christopher Porteous, Jeremy Tan, Joanna Lun, Leon Coward (violins), Sophia Clark and Justin Shenouda (cellos), and soprano Ngaire Kirwan, whose previous appearances as soloist/chorister include with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Joubert Singers, Vox, Polyphony and the Welsh choir Cantorion.
Reflecting the Camerata’s and guest artists’ ethos of supporting music making for youth in Australia, profits from this concert will support the work of the Australian Children’s Music Foundation
