Concert 2 - Songs Sacred and Profane

In a coup for the Coriole Festival, the second concert begins with the world premiere of a Sonata for Cello and Piano by legendary Australian composer, Richard Mills, performed by Simon Cobcroft and Anna Goldsworthy. Soprano Lorina Gore then joins Goldsworthy for the achingly beautiful Op.10 Lieder by Richard Strauss, followed by Felix Mendelssohn’s beautiful and rarely heard Duette-Lieder, also featuring mezzo-soprano Victoria Lambourn. To conclude, the Lyrebird Trio performs one of the most powerful works in the romantic repertoire, Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio no.2 in C Minor.
