Following Selby & Friends\u2019 thrilling season opener in February, Tour 2 beckons with an eclectic program of friends old and new \u2013 and all at a 10% discount on adult tickets purchased by 5pm tomorrow!<\/p>\n
Artistic Director and pianist Kathryn Selby AM is joined by her special international guests, the popular Finnish Concertmaster from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Vesa-Matti Lepp\u00e4nen, and SSO Co-Principal cellist from Italy, Umberto Clerici, for an evening of chamber music powerhouses and new discoveries!<\/p>\n
Meet Vesa-Matti Leppanen, listen to a radio podcast here.<\/p>\n
The program proudly spotlights these guest artists in C\u00e9sar Franck\u2019s much-loved virtuosic violin sonata and Beethoven\u2019s first cello sonata. The ensemble then comes together in two piano trios: Grammy-award winner Joan Tower\u2019s \u201cBig Sky\u201d, which was inspired by her childhood memory of horseback riding through the Bolivian Andes; and the soul-stirring Shostakovich second Piano Trio, premiered in Leningrad in 1944, which intrigues with sharp contrasts and rhythms from Jewish folk music.<\/p>\n
