Over the past 13 years, PSMF has established itself as an icon on the classical music calendar in Australia and we are seeking further Council support to ensure the ongoing high-quality performances professional musicians for local audiences. Each year we run at break even and do not have a sustainable and solid base to build on.

This project is an annual event held in January each year, and as such we are asking to be considered for a series of three years as we aim to get ourselves to a sustainable future. After three years we will aim to have a stronger financial base that can rely more on internal revenue raising and corporate sponsorship dollars. Has funding previously been sought for this project?

These works have long held a fascination for Peter, and he draws upon many years of meditations upon them to craft a truly captivating experience.

Taking its name from the influential 16th-century Spanish harpist Ludovico, the Band is acclaimed for its performances of music from the 16th to the 18th centuries, including the great works from the Italian and Spanish Baroque. Formed in 2002, the ensemble emerged from the desire to create a predominately plucked basso continuo band, whilst highlighting the solo repertoire of early plucked instruments. The ensemble has collaborated with leading soloists, such as Genevieve Lacey, Liane Keegan, Brenton Spiteri and Jane Edwards in programs ranging from early English Folk music to 17th-century Italian song. In 2006 Ludovico’s Band and vocal ensemble e21 collaborated on a theatrical presentation of Monteverdi’s Eighth Book of Madrigals, including the mini-opera Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, which has been performed in Castlemaine, Ballarat and the Sydney Opera House Studio. The group has performed extensively throughout Australia, for Musica Viva Australia; Melbourne Festival; Ballarat Organs of the Goldfields Festival; Historic Houses Trust Sydney; Sydney Opera House, and ABC Classic FM.Ludovico’s Band released its first CD – The Italian Ground – in 2007, and performed Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo: favola in musica for the Queensland Music Festival the same year.

Jean-JacquesRousseau claimed he was ‘the greatest master of harmony of Italy, that is to say, of the whole world’, though some felt this was a little overstated. Porpora had a successful career as an opera composer in his lifetime. He too was an influential teacher; famous students include the castrato Farinelli and Haydn. Mancini was Director of the Conservatorio di Santa Maria as well as being first organist and maestro of the Capella Reale in Scarlatti’s absence – who was a great influence on his compositions.

Famed and loved in his lifetime, he was mourned in poetry, song and statue on his death. Employed by the city of Utrecht to play and tend to the cathedral carillon bells, he was also famously given a pay rise to wander through Janskerkhof public gardens in the evenings, to entertain passers-by on ‘his little flute’. Inspired by van Eyck’s story and music, Pleasure Garden combines excerpts from his work, set within newly-composed music. The project began its life as a kinetic sound installation in Vaucluse House gardens, for Sydney Festival 2016. Its second iteration is a CD, released by ABC Classics. Tonight is its debut as a live performance. Pleasure Garden creates undulating textures and musical patterns that shift, sometimes almost imperceptibly.
