Streeton Trio: Golden Summer
Event Date: 31/03/2019, 02:30 pm
One of Australia’s premier chamber ensembles, the STREETON TRIO, present a delightful afternoon
Book-ending the hearty classics are Kats-Chernin’s Butterflying, Sculthorpe’s evocative Night Song and Piazzola’s Buenos Aires Summer.
The trio’s namesake, Arthur Streeton’s ‘Golden Summer, Eaglemont’ has become one of
the defining images of Australian art and the Streetons explore the many facets of summer in this evocative program.
Beethoven’s Piano Trio in E flat is one of his most good-natured chamber works, while the Brahms opus 8 trio,
written early in his life and later extensively revised, is hugely popular for its broad lyricism and sweeping romantic gestures.
Elena Kats-Chernin’s Butterflying, originally for children’s choir, is heard here in a delightful trio arrangement.
Sculthorpe’s Night Song, in his own words, “is concerned with solitary thoughts at night, while becalmed on a distant sea”.
And finally, Astor Piazzolla’s Four Seasons, are a homage to Buenos Aires, Piazzola’s hometown, and the city that gave tango to the world. "Summer" (Verana Porteno) depicts the hot, lazy summer days Piazzolla spent in Buenos Aires and is infused with the melodic yearning and rhythmic vitality of the tango.
