IN an unusual combination of talents, Canberra soprano Louise Page joins Argentine-Australian pianist Marcela Fiorillo and percussionist Charlie Martin in a double-headed musical premiere at the ANU School of Music.
First up will be “Mujeres Argentinas” (Mothers of Argentina), a famous composition for voice and piano with lyrics by Felix Luna and music by Ariel Ramirez (the internationally celebrated composer best-known for “Misa Criolla” and author of more than 300 compositions during his lifetime).
The composition is a tribute to eight women active in Argentina’s liberation and later cultural development.
The second half will feature Fiorillo’s new work “Poema Mistico” for piano and percussion, to be performed by the composer and Martin.
Intended as a reflective recital, the event will conclude with a glass of Argentine wine (included in the ticket price).
“Mujeres Argentinas” concert, Larry Sitsky Recital Room, ANU School of Music, 7pm, August 7, bookings via iwannaticket.com.au or tickets at the door.
