Duo Vermilion

Event Date: 14/08/2016, 03:30 pm

Warming “WINTER’S ROMANCE” CONCERTS
Local international stars Maria Lindsay and Matthew Brooks bring their latest concert program to two venues in August, as thrilling DUO VERMILION continues its spectacular rise.

Performances of Beethoven, Strauss and Tommy Tycho highlight their winter afternoon concerts
in Sydney’s East (Sun 14 August) and the Blue Mountains (Sat 20 August).

Duo Vermilion is the product of a long-standing musical collaboration of violinist, Maria and pianist, Matthew.
Sharing a deep-seated passion for classical music, they delight in connecting with new audiences and
– as Maria says – sharing the wonder, magic and romance of beautiful music.

Their Winter’s Romance recitals this August, to be performed in both Maroubra and Blackheath,
will feature sonatas by Beethoven and Richard Strauss, as well as the Persian-flavoured Violin Concerto by legendary Australian maestro and composer Tommy Tycho – a work he wrote for Maria!

Tycho was musical director at Channel 7 for 15 years, directed countless Royal Command Performances
and conducted all ABC Symphony orchestras before his death in 2013.
His compositions for the concert platform, stage & screen number more than 1500!
His Violin Concerto reflects influences from his native Hungary, as well as Russian and Persian themes
from his time as personal pianist to the Shah of Iran.

Refugees are “dirty skunks”. Thrown into processing centres, they face deportation at a moment’s notice. Teams scour the country searching for skunks and the ‘handlers’ protecting them. Informers are everywhere. In one night the masks and motivations of skunks and handlers alike are stripped away. The ending will surprise and subvert audience assumptions.

The Last Five Years

Event Date: 12/08/2016, 07:30 pm

THE LAST FIVE YEARS is a contemporary song-cycle musical that ingeniously chronicles the five year
Lane Cove Theatre Company follows up its recent hit productions of Away, Godspell and The Vagina Monologues with a timely
musical theatre ‘two-hander’ that is (simultaneously) the first and last word on relationships… and all in magnificent song!
Written by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs For A New World), THE LAST FIVE YEARS is a contemporary song-cycle musical that
ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it.

Cathy and Jamie's relationship has lasted five years. As the story begins, Jamie (Brent Dolahenty of Ryde) is at the beginning of the relationship
and Cathy (Belinda Humphries of Lane Cove) is at the end. With inter-cutting scenes, we watch Jamie move forward in time as Cathy moves backward.

Funny, honest, and intimate, and with an exuberantly romantic score, THE LAST FIVE YEARS
takes a bold look at one young couple’s hope that love endures the test of time.

Lane Cove Theatre Company’s all new production is directed by Lochie Beh (Lane Cove) and stars Belinda Humphries (Lane Cove) as Cathy
and Brent Dolahenty (Ryde) as Jamie. Musical director is Keiren Brandt-Sawdy (Sutherland).

Psychoanalyst Margaret Ford, the author of a best-seller on compulsive behaviour, compromises her professional reputation when she offers to help one of her patients settle his gambling debts.
Drawn into the seedy world of Chicago poker clubs and seduced by a charismatic hustler, Margaret starts out on what she thinks is an academic study but finds herself caught up in complex and dangerous con.
Playwright Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors; Harvest) has taken the cult film written and directed by David Mamet, and created a taut, funny and sexy noir-thriller about obsession and the lengths we go to get what we desire.

Beethoven, Brahms And Tommy Tycho

Event Date: 06/08/2016, 05:00 pm

Beethoven, Brahms & Tommy Tycho Violin Concerto: Balmain Sinfonia debuts at its new home.
Beethoven, Brahms & Tommy Tycho Violin Concerto:
Balmain Sinfonia debuts at its new home in Leichhardt.

The Balmain Sinfonia returns to its inner west heartland and a new home when it performs
for the first time at the Italian Forum in Leichhardt on Sat 6 August.

The Saturday afternoon 5pm concert features Brahms’ Symphony No.1, the popular Beethoven Leonore Overture and star violin soloist
Maria Lindsay playing Tommy Tycho’s Violin Concerto – a piece written for her by the legendary Australian maestro.
The Balmain Sinfonia was founded in 1991 by its artistic director and conductor Gary Stavrou.

Originally performing in Rozelle and Balmain, in recent years it has been Macquarie University’s resident orchestra.
Now it returns to its heartland and a new home in the lively, colourful and charming Italian Forum
with its comfortable and well-appointed auditorium and surrounding restaurants, bars and shops.

Stavrou said the move to the Italian Forum was very exciting and would improve audiences' experience
with excellent lighting and acoustics as well as the delightful restaurants and cafes nearby.
The Saturday 5pm timing was chosen specifically to suit dining and parking options.

Of the program he said new and returning fans of the orchestra would enjoy a varied ‘treat’.
He described the Leonore Overture of Beethoven as ‘a miracle of dramatic music’.
“This rollercoaster of a work covers enormous emotional range from the poetic to the utterly heroic.”

In the Brahms’ Symphony the orchestra promises a work “inexhaustible in its power to thrill and transport listeners”.

Tommy Tycho’s violin concerto is an Australian work with influences derived from the composer’s native Hungary as well as Russian and Persian themes from his time as personal pianist to the Shah of Iran.
Tycho was also musical director at Channel 7 for 15 years, directed countless Royal Command Performances and conducted all ABC Symphony orchestras before his death in 2013.
