Concert 3 - Savage Parade
Saturday 21 May 2023 at 11amm
In the 2023 festival finale, the Lyrebird Trio offers the world premiere of a work by major Australian composer Anne Cawrse and a South Australian premiere by Australian composer Justin Williams. Igor Stravinsky uses his sorcery to re-imagine 1950s America in the glittering Septet, followed by Australian Joseph Twist’s irrepressible string quartet, Dancing with Somebody. Finally, soprano Sofio Troncoso joins an ensemble of Australian virtuosi, to traverse the dreamscape of poet Rimbaud’s “savage parade”. Les Illuminations, Benjamin Britten’s visionary song cycle, provides a spellbinding conclusion to the festival.a
