Showcase Concert Two - 29 July 2012

Rhapsody

Sunday 29 July 2012, 3pm

QPAC Concert Hall Intimate Mode

George Gershwin’s iconic masterpiece, Rhapsody in Blue, was one of the first mainstream piano concertos to crossover into the world of jazz. Starting with the famous (impossible to play) clarinet glissando, it is a fun, brilliant and virtuosic feat for all.

In this program we feature two other rhapsodies: Debussy’s Premier Rhapsody for clarinet featuring Southern Cross Soloists member Paul Dean, and Dean’s own composition, Rhapsody for Southern Cross Soloists – a world premiere.

Paul has insisted on the inclusion of the contraforte (a groundbreaking re-invention of the sometimes awkward contrabassoon) in his piece, so we welcome contraforte expert Brock Imison of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

We will also be joined by Principal Trumpet of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Sarah Wilson, in the Gershwin and in a delightful trio sonata by Vivaldi.

Soprano Margaret Schindler will also fascinate with the intriguing songs of Aaron Copland based on the haunting poetry of Emily Dickinson.
