A monumental classic of the chamber music repertoire paired with a rare musical gem.
What do you do when your aristocratic piano student has a sore finger and skips out on his weekly lesson? Write him a new piano trio to play, of course. Jessica Cottis offers one word for Beethoven’s ‘Archduke’ trio: sublime. Then the words spill out: monumental, intimate, serene, dramatic, playful… but above all, sublime. There’s a reason this work is considered one of the greatest examples of its genre.
Ludwig van Beethoven is a household name. Emilie Mayer (1812–1883) is not. But she was esteemed in her time – one of the few 19th-century women to compose symphonies – and her music deserves to be much better known. Jessica Cottis has chosen her last published work, the exquisitely beautiful Notturno for violin and piano, and we think you’ll agree: this too is sublime.

CSO wind virtuosos step into the spotlight.
An ever-changing musical kaleidoscope suffused with joy and affection. You’ll hear Mozart and Poulenc at their self-declared best and all four composers are writing music for instruments they adored, playing to their strengths.
Mozart’s Quintet was an experiment: a concerto for piano and winds that won him ‘extraordinary applause’ at its first performance. But despite the virtuoso piano part and brilliant wind writing inspired by the orchestras he’d heard in Paris and Mannheim, this is chamber music at heart – intended for his Viennese friends.
At the other end of the program is Poulenc with music from 1920s Paris. The language is different but the spirit is the same: engaging and fun. Poulenc’s Trio is a joy to perform, and just as delightful to hear. We stay in Paris for Tomasi’s ‘Countryside Concerto’ – a lively 1930s vision of dancing in the gardens of Versailles. Tailleferre, the only female member of Les Six, is our third Parisian, represented by a dreamy Romance for solo piano.

Following triumphant performances in Australia and the UK, Musica Viva Australia is thrilled to present A Winter’s Journey touring to Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
A Winter’s Journey is a reimagining of Franz Schubert’s Winterreise, a collection of songs mapping a winding path from love to despair, anger and hope. Lindy Hume directs acclaimed British tenor Allan Clayton and Australian pianist Kate Golla. Central to the drama are video projections created by David Bergman (The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dracula) who uses iconic artist Fred Williams’ glowing visions of Australia to create a landscape of the emotions.

In this evocative program, music carries both contemporary interpretations and age-old folktales, populated by mysterious and elusive figures.
Canberra composer and pianist Sally Whitwell is widely known for her setting of Byron’s poetry, She Walks in Beauty.
Whitwell opens this program with a new commission exploring ghostly stories from the Capital Region.
In Miriama Young’s Grey Ghost, live piano melodies are expanded and transformed by an immersive soundscape. This stunning piece draws inspiration from the kōkako, a bird native to New Zealand’s South Island. Believed to be extinct, unverified sightings and tantalising clues of the ‘Grey Ghost’ nevertheless persist.
Andrew Ford’s award-winning Tales of the Supernatural explore ghostly folktales from across northern Europe, including Sweden, Scotland and England. Framed by a sung dedication in Finnish to a lover, these stories are characterised by otherworldly figures and steeped in grief, love and longing.
The program closes with an exciting new commission to be announced in 2025.

Join CSO concertmaster Kirsten Williams and pianist Edward Neeman when Rachmaninoff’s Red Riding Hood meets Franck’s violin sonata in a musical journey where myth meets melody. The performance opens with Elgar’s Chanson de Matin (Morning Song) and its contemplative companion, Chanson de Nuit (Song of the Night) for violin and piano. Debussy’s haunting The Sunken Cathedral rises from the depths of the Breton legend of an underwater cathedral off the coast of the Island of Ys. It rises at the composer’s instruction until the music swells to fortissimo. Rachmaninoff’s Études-Tableaux tells the tale of folk heroine Little Red Riding Hood meeting the growling wolf in the piano’s low register. Cesar Franck’s Sonata in A Major concludes the program: a chamber music favourite bursting with lyricism and playful spontaneity

One of Australia’s leading violinists, Kirsten Williams has performed widely as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician, in concert and on ABC radio. In 2019, she was appointed Concertmaster of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra (CSO).
In 2021, she led the Australian National University’s (ANU) Women in Music program. Kirsten studied with Alice Waten at the Sydney Conservatorium and with Igor Ozim in Switzerland. She then joined the Royal Opera House Orchestra at Covent Garden and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, touring and recording widely. On returning to Australia, Kirsten was appointed Associate Leader of the Australian Chamber Orchestra. She has also appeared as guest Concertmaster of the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, the Sydney Philharmonia and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
From 2000 to 2019, Kirsten was Associate Concertmaster with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. A dedicated teacher, Kirsten has a central role in the CSO’s Kingsland Pathways Program, leading the Canberra Symphony Youth Chamber Orchestra for advanced players aged 11 to 19, and working with the Kingsland Fellows. She has also worked with the Sydney and Australian youth orchestras and has joined the teaching staff at the ANU School of Music. Kirsten has a passion for music for healing: she has recorded two CDs for the Australian Bush Flower Essences and, in 2014, was named Volunteer of the Year for her work playing in the Intensive Care Unit at Westmead Children’s Hospital. That same year, she became patron of the Goulburn Strings Project, designed to bring music education to children in low-socioeconomic, regional contexts.

Legends
2025 Chamber Classics
Rachmaninoff’s Red Riding Hood meets Franck’s violin sonata in a musical melange of legend and lyricism.
We open with Henryk Wieniawski’s Légende: a solo work full of passion and fireworks. A virtuoso of the violin, Wieniawski showcases its technical possibilities, setting the tone for a program inspired by legend and lore.
Debussy’s The Sunken Cathedral for solo piano was inspired by the Breton myth of the underwater cathedral off the coast of the Island of Ys. Only visible when the weather was clear, it rises here at the composer’s instruction until the music swells to fortissimo.
Rachmaninoff’s Études-Tableaux push the pianist to legendary feats of virtuosity. The folk heroine Little Red Riding Hood dances her way into one of these ‘picture studies’ – and meets the growling wolf in the piano’s low register.
We close with Cesar Franck’s Sonata in A Major: a chamber music favourite bursting with lyricism and playful spontaneity.

We wish to invite descendants, veterans, families and friends to join us for a moving and memorable commemorative memorial event like no other. This concert will bring to life the voices of those who served abroad and those who supported the nation at home.
80 years ago on the 15 August 1945, the Declaration of Peace in the Pacific was signed. The Australian War Memorial and the Flowers of Peace will commemorate this historic anniversary with an epic concert that will describe through music, paintings, images, poetry and narrations these defining events. This nationally significant reflection will remember those who served abroad and at home, describing our nation’s supreme efforts to help defeat fascism and deliver a lasting peace.
The concert will be narrated by Australia’s greatest theatre actor, John Bell AO OBE FRSN, performed by the Canberra Symphony Orchestra and the Australian Defence Force’s finest musicians with soloists William Barton, didjeridu; Simon Tedeschi and Edward Neeman, piano; Alice Giles, harp; Dong Ma, erhu; Andrew Goodwin, tenor; Rachel Mink, soprano; Brisbane Chamber Choir, Flowers of Peace Chorus and the Luminescence Children’s Choir.
Christopher Latham OAM, Artist in Residence at the Australian War Memorial and Director of the Flowers of Peace project created the Second World War Memorial: Greater Love, to describe the willingness of that generation to face truly daunting challenges, and to sacrifice their health and happiness for the greater good. “I wanted to describe this idea of a love beyond self, a greater love that took the form of service for the benefit of others, which I find enormously inspiring. It still amazes me what people were willing to sacrifice to achieve a peaceful, free, democratic world.”
In two halves, Act 1 will feature music created in response to the Second World War - a series of eyewitness accounts by those directly affected. Act 2, will tell the story of the Second World War and complete the 12 musical memorials to honour those who fell, and those harmed by their service.
We have commissioned our finest composers to create 15 works. Elena Kats-Chernin AO, Graeme Koehne AO and the Japanese American composer Karen Tanaka are being featured, alongside Andrew Schultz, William Barton, Dr Cyrus Meurant, Julian Yu, Peggy Polias and the British Australian composer Paul Carr. The music of Sergei Rachmaninoff, one of the most beloved composers and pianists of all time, who died in 1943, is also featured. ‘One of the structural elements that will unify the concert will be the 12 musical memorials - six in the first half and six in the second half that function like pillars in this voyage through our history’ said Chris. ‘These memorials are dedicated to Women, Indigenous Australians, the Medical and Nursing Services, the RAAF, the Navy, the Army, the Holocaust, Bomber Command and our Prisoners of War’.
This newly created music will be paired with paintings from the Australian War Memorial Official War Art Scheme created by painters like Stella Bowen, Harold Abbott, Colin Colahan, Sybil Craig, William Dargie, James Flett, Murray Griffin, Ivor Hele, Roy Hodgkinson, Geoffrey Mainwaring, Alan Moore and Nora Heysen.
This multi-faceted approach will create a deeply immersive meditation on Greater Love.
We invite the nation to join us on this unique cultural experience.
Tickets will go on sale to the public on Tuesday, 10 June 2025.
This is your chance to watch internationally acclaimed pianist Dr Stephanie Neeman work live with exemplary musicians in an intimate studio setting.

Free-flowing music for flute, piano and cello, inspired by water, breath, spirit and song.
Debussy’s Syrinx takes its name from ancient Greek lore. Pursued by Pan, god of the wild, the nymph Syrinx is transformed into river reeds – from which we fashion ‘pan’ pipes. Water mythology also permeates Amy Beach’s ‘Water-Sprites’ Pastorale, which ripples with opalescent textures.
Pan was associated with shepherds, lonely figures in the wilds of nature. A Classical work with a Romantic streak, the ‘Shepherd’s Lament’ in Carl Maria von Weber’s piano trio calls to us as from the hills, full of yearning and virtuosic flourishes.
Water flows through the Variations and Rondo on ‘Schone Minka’ by composer and pianist Johann Nepomuk Hummel, a contemporary of Weber. Adapted from a Ukrainian folk song, it tells the story of a Cossack who bids his beloved farewell as he rides away to war along the river Danube.

Joseph Haydn spent much of his life in Hungary, immersed in the rich Hungarian folk tradition.
These influences permeated his compositions, including the free-spirited Piano Trio No. 39 in G Major. The third movement features the Verbunkos, a folk-inspired dance brimming with vigour and purpose, used in the recruitment efforts of the Austro-Hungarian army.
Antonin Dvořak was similarly influenced by folk music: in his case, the sounds of his Bohemian homeland. His Piano Trio No. 4 is full of contrasts: joy and lament, major and minor. The title ‘Dumky’ is a nod to the Slavic tradition of epic poetry, a style that was sung and used in the mythic retelling of great historical events.
