Event Details
Modern Australian works for flute and piano collide with boisterous Beethoven, as young soloists Alex Raineri and Jonathan Henderson continue their ongoing collaboration with an exuberant recital of music bursting with inventiveness and imagination. A commotion of childish tantrums unfurls in Beethoven’s Rondo a Capriccio Op.129 (better known as The Rage over the Lost Penny), twisting and turning unapologetically in a heavy-handed romp over the keys. Alongside a special commissioned work by Melbourne-based composer Lisa Cheney, Paul Dean’s Falling Ever Deeper escalates virtuosity to new heights. A joyous offshoot of the 18th Century divertimento tradition, Beethoven’s Serenade in D Major Op. 41 promises to delight with its joyful disposition–a spritely march, skipping presto and closing contredanse all dazzle with excitement.
