Early Music in the Very Round

This is the ninth year of the series which is widely-regarded as an important part of Melbourne's historic music panorama. The Early Arts Guild of Victoria arranges the annual program, with Helga Hill as artistic director.

In addition to featuring established artists, including some from abroad, the project also provides valuable opportunities for the next generation of young musicians and singers - especially advanced performers from the University of Melbourne's Early Music Studio.

Concerts in the series are of one-hour duration and commence at 2.15 p.m. on the first Sunday of each month from April to September at St Cuthbert's Presbyterian Church, 10 Wilson Street, Brighton.

Admission is $5 for persons aged 18 years and over - no charge for those under 18. Advance booking is not required.

June 7

Delicious!
Here's a sumptuous five-course musical banquet prepared by noted gamba specialist Laura Vaughan and leading New Zealand harpsichordist Donald Nicolson. Dishes by Marais, Bach, Schenk, Hume and Louis Couperin have been chosen to "stimulate and balance the humours" in true old-world fashion! Buon appetite!

July 5

Naples circa 1730
Step back to the Neapolitan court and the Teatro di San Carlo! The invitation comes from Jennifer Cook, soprano, Adam Masters, baroque oboe, and David Macfarlane, harpsichord. Their performance of rarely-heard works for voice and oboe by Scarlatti, Pergolesi and Mancini will be another season highlight.

August 2

Concert à deux
A program which has been presented as far afield as Vienna and Cortona now comes to Brighton! Ruth Wilkinson, a teacher of gamba and recorder at the Early Music Studio, will be joined by baroque violin exponent Cynthia O'Brien who will be making a brief return visit to Australia from Vienna. They will play works from the 17th and 18th centuries.

September 6

Organ Centenary
Helga Hill will lead the Early Music Consort, soprano Merrin Torpy and actress Annabel Green in a celebration of the 100th year of the Fincham organ at St Cuthberts. Music will range over four centuries and an Ode to the Organ, published in the Hobart Gazette in 1825, will be presented with historic gesture. At the end - bellringing!
