Soprano Sonia Anfiloff is the new artistic director of National Opera, replacing Peter Coleman-Wright, who left, disaffected, last year.

Anfiloff, a dramatic soprano and a masters graduate of the ANU School of Music who first burst on the opera scene as Dido in Caroline Stacey’s Dido and Aeneas at The Street Theatre back in 2010, is also head of choirs at Canberra Girls Grammar School and voice teacher and examiner at the School of Music.

After graduating and receiving the Kornfeld Scholarship, she spent nine years in Vienna, returning in 2020 to Canberra, where she was born and bred, with her daughter Odette.

There is something about a performance by top-clas

There is something about a performance by top-class musicians who’ve played together for decades, says reviewer MICHAEL WILSON.

There’s no fuss: no apprehension about what other players might do in the moment. So it was for the final concert of the Selby & Friends season, when Kathryn Selby (piano) was joined by Julian Smiles (cello) and Dimity Hall (violin) for a varied and challenging program of piano trios connecting Germany, France, Spain and Latvia.

In this intimate venue, each musician introduced pieces in their personal styles. Like any good host, Selby made sure her guests shone throughout, even at times where the piano line dominated. Fresh from their farewell tour as one half of the Goldner String Quartet, Hall and Smiles blended seamlessly when that was required, and emphasised discordance when called for, especially in the program’s title work by Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks.

One of the oldest of 14 pony clubs around Canberra, the club says it is facing “an onslaught of existential crises, from rising lease rates to potential land redevelopment, which cast a shadow on [its] future.”
