Test Drive the Arts

The Kegelstatt Ensemble

Now in its sixth year of concerts in Adelaide, The Kegelstatt Ensemble is comprised of gifted and passionate young musicians who work together joyfully and fruitfully in bringing great chamber music to life. We take our name from a trio by Mozart – the first to unite a single wind, string and keyboard instrument and place them on equal footing.

Masquerade

SUNDAY 20 MARCH, 3PM
Pilgrim Church, 12 Flinders Street, Adelaide

We return to our roots for our first concert for the year, which focuses on the music of the night. This concert presents Kegelstatt in its original incarnation of clarinet, viola and piano. The velvety timbres of these particular wind and string instruments are well suited to music of half-shades and moonlight tints. Here we showcase Kurtag’s Hommage á Schumann, a set of eerie and fascinating miniatures, between nocturnal musings by Australian composers Paul Stanhope and Brett Dean.
