“This is definitely a performance for the history books,” says festival artistic director Roland Peelman, as he invites us to remember the von Trapp family and the Mozart families.
The Röhns are headed by Andreas Röhn, leader of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra for nearly three decades. He will perform alongside his violinist son, Daniel, his daughter Anja (concertmaster of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra) and their mother Kerstin Hindart, a noted accompanist.
Hearing they were in Australia for the wedding of Daniel and Ana, the festival seized the opportunity to have the Röhn family perform.
The family will perform works by Beethoven, Kreisler, Debussy and Dvorak, with the addition of fine wines by Clonakilla, food by Thyme to Taste of Yass and a guided walk around the “garden rooms” of the Crisp Galleries.
The festival’s boast, “chamber music doesn’t get better than this” sounds like nothing less than the truth.
“Summer Lunch in the Garden with the Röhn Family”, The Crisp Galleries, Hume Highway, Bowning, 11.30am-3pm, Saturday, December 5. Bookings to cimf.org.au or 6230 5880.
