Music is the soundtrack to our lives, featuring in life’s most significant moments. Music triggers memories – but what if we turn that around? What memories spark what sort of music?
Camerata explores the relationship between memory and music in this nostalgic, moving, and humorous concert.
Exploring the theme “eternal memory”, inspired by John Tavener’s Eternal Memory for cello and strings, we have invited audiences to share their eternal or special memories to curate a concert of music inspired by personal recollections.
What a rich tapestry of melodies we have in store! Mozart sits alongside John Tavener; Handel with Anna Clyne. There are moments from Dvořák and Corelli, too.
Camerata will also be joined by distinguished Australian actor and long-term Camerata collaborator, Barbara Lowing, to narrate the concert.
Eternal memories, words, and music will seamlessly weave together in this special concert that is sure to be moving, nostalgic, and hopefully, a little bit funny.
As always, join Camerata in the foyer after the concert to meet the musicians and have a chat.
