MUSIC REVIVAL NEWS

 


(Right: Christopher Duigan)

Music to Contemplate and Reflect Upon starts Monday August 25.

 

This August, Music Revival Concerts proudly presents Christopher Duigan in an exceptional programme of classical masterpieces that engage, stimulate, and invite deep contemplation.

The concert features Beethoven’s profound Sonata Op. 110, one of his enigmatic late sonatas composed in the final years of his life. 

Complementing this is Liszt’s shimmering and evocative ‘Les jeux d’eaux à la villa d’Este,’ a dazzling piece that captures the essence of water in motion. Debussy’s exquisite Second Book of Images, including the luminous Poisson d’or, adds a quixotic impressionistic touch to the evening.

The programme opens with a distilled selection of Preludes and Fugues from Bach’s monumental Well-Tempered Clavier, setting an inspiring and thoughtful stage for this unforgettable musical journey. Join us to experience these timeless works brought to life with artistry and eloquence.
