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.

Strings and oboe go together like avocado and choc

Strings and oboe go together like avocado and chocolate; try it. An afternoon of delicious music by Musica da Camera proved to be a most appetising experience, says reviewer ROB KENNEDY.

Under the direction of Lauren Davis, the leader of Limestone Consort, a chamber ensemble based in Canberra, which formed in 2012 out of a desire to perform baroque music, but today she led Musica da Camera with Aaron Reichelt, who is one of Australia’s most versatile and experienced oboists.
