Arthur E. Bridge AM Simon Tedeschi Guest artist (piano) Simon Tedeschi is often described by critics and musical peers as one of the finest artists of his generation. He has performed in recital and in concert in cities throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Central America and Australia. Over the years Simon has earned many international prizes and scholarships, including first prize in the keyboard section of the Royal Overseas League Music Competition in London (2002), the Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year and a Queen's Trust Overseas Study Award. More recently, Tedeschi was awarded a Centenary of Federation Medal from the Prime Minister of Australia. In 2000 Tedeschi signed a recording deal with Sony Music Australia. He has recorded with Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (under Alexander Briger) and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (under both Richard Bonynge and Benjamin Northey). Simon has performed for many high profile figures including Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark, and various world leaders during the APEC Cultural Event in Sydney (2007). He is the Roving Ambassador for The Australian Children's Music Foundation, and patron for both the Bowraville Cultural Festival and the Blue Mountains Concert Society. The versatility and scope of Tedeschi's appeal is exemplified by his collaboration with acclaimed musicians across different genres and styles - Tedeschi is a one of the rare Shostakovich (1906-1975) Quintet for Piano and Strings in G minor, Op. 57 (1940) (30 mins) classical pianists able to cross over into jazz improvisation. He was the last pianist for Simon Tedeschi (piano), Huy-Nguyen Bui (violin), Airena Nakamura (violin), Tobias Breider renowned US jazz musician Larry Adler, who remarked he was the best pianist he ever (viola), Teije Hylkema (cello) worked with. Simon also played the hands of acclaimed pianist David Helfgott in the Oscar-winning movie Shine, and was the subject in Cherry Hood's striking portrait that 1. Prelude: Lento 2. Fugue: Adagio 3. Scherzo: Allegretto 4. Intermezzo: Lento won the 2002 Archibald Prize - Simon Tedeschi Unplugged. In early 2009 Simon 5. Finale: Allegretto performed for the G'day USA celebrations in Carnegie Hall (to celebrate Inauguration Day) and was named the recipient of the 2009 Legacy Award from the Creativity Founded in the early 1920s by graduates from the Moscow conservatory, the Beethoven Foundation. Most recently Simon has appeared as soloist with the Sydney, Queensland, quartet was already firmly established as one of the finest chamber groups in the Soviet Christchurch and Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestras. Union by the time Shostakovich began building his own reputation. In 1940, impressed by the composer’s first string quartet, the ensemble approached Shostakovich proposing he write a work they could perform together. The result was this Quintet, an assured and articulate creation, made richer by a musical fluency that enabled the composer to effortlessly borrow from the language of previous eras. The Prelude and Fugue that form the work’s opening movements finely illustrate the composer’s mastery of contrapuntal techniques. The wild abandon of the third movement’s Scherzo and Trio contrasts with the more subdued, regretful slow fourth movement, while the classical architecture of sonata form supports the final movement’s rousing gestures. The work was first performed in November 1940, and in 1941 it received the Stalin prize – awarded for achievements that advanced the Soviet Union or the cause of socialism. Indeed, the piece was so enthusiastically received that violinist Dubinsky recalls: David Rowden "For a time the Quintet overshadowed even such events as the football matches between the main teams. The Quintet was discussed in trams, people tried to sing in Artistic Director/Founder the streets the second defiant theme of the finale…” David studied clarinet with Francesco Celata from the age of eleven. He played in the No doubt the success of the work played a part in cementing the relationship between Sydney Sinfonia and Sydney Youth Orchestra before being awarded a scholarship to Shostakovich and the Beethoven quintet, who went on to premiere all but two of the study at the Royal Academy of Music, where he won the Geoffrey Hawkes Prize for composer’s 15 string quartets. clarinet performance in his final year. His teachers in London were Angela Malsbury and Mark Van de Wiel. While overseas, David also studied in Italy with Anthony Pay at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana Siena, and in France at the Academie de Villecroze with French clarinetist Paul Meyer. David also performed in the Pacific Music Festival for three consecutive years from 2005 in Japan. Since returning to Sydney, David has performed as a freelance orchestral musician with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, The Queensland Orchestra, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and as a guest principal clarinet with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. As a chamber musician, David has performed as a guest artist with the Australia Ensemble and the Sydney Soloists. In 2005 David founded the Sydney Omega Ensemble. In 2007 David’s performance of Inferno by Sydney composer-performer Margery Smith was nominated for the “Best Performance of an Australian Composition” in the APRA/AMC Classical Music Awards. David also premiered a double chamber Clarinet Concerto by George Palmer, with renowned clarinetist Dimitri Ashkenazy, the recording of which has been broadcast on ABC Classic FM. In 2011 David was a finalist in the ABC Young Performer of the year awards performing the Copland Clarinet Concerto with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. David is also currently the Curator of the 2013 House Music series at Government House, Sydney. David is a Buffet-Crampon artist and currently performs on the new Divine clarinets. Sydney Omega Ensemble Louis Spohr (1784–1859) Septet for Flute, Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon, Violin, Cello and Piano in A The Ensemble was established by its Artistic Director David Rowden in 2005, when he minor, Op. 147 (1853) (33 mins) and 10 other young musicians sought to redefine Sydney's classical chamber music Simon Tedeschi (piano), Lisa Osmialowski (flute), David Rowden (clarinet), Andrew Barnes (bassoon), Michael Dixon (horn), Huy-Nguyen Bui (violin), Teije Hylkema (cello) landscape.

Yet although he was once accorded similar standing to musical greats such as Beethoven, The Ensemble was identified early for its commitment to new Australian music, its 2007 Spohr’s music faded into relative obscurity soon after the composer’s death.

  • Alexander Briger: What Makes a Conductor Is Personality
    Alexander Briger: What Makes a Conductor is Personality The Australian conductor tells us about growing up in a musical clan, founding the Australian World Orchestra, and reducing the work load to better enjoy performances and time with his young family. by Jo Litson, 16 May 2019 The Australian conductor tells us about growing up in a musical clan, founding the Australian World Orchestra, and reducing the work load to better enjoy performances and time with his young family. Was there lots of music around you when you were growing up? Yeah, a lot. My mother was a ballet dancer. My uncle Alastair [Mackerras] who lived downstairs was the Headmaster of Sydney Grammar, and he would drive me to school. He was a classical music fanatic. He owned thousands and thousands of CDs, from A to Z, and he was so methodical about it. So, I learnt a hell of a lot of music. Alexander Briger. Photo © Cameron Grayson What instrument did you play? I played violin but I didn’t really take it all that seriously, I have to say. I was much more into aeroplanes, that sort of thing. My uncle was Charles Mackerras, although I didn’t really know him well, he didn’t live here. He would come home to conduct the Sydney Symphony or the opera occasionally. I remember when I was 12, I was taken to a concert that he gave, Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Sydney Symphony, and that was the first concert that I was allowed to go to. I remember just being completely blown away by it and that’s when I started to take music very seriously and to think about conducting.

    Music to soothe your soul Mozartand Brahms 28 + 29 MAY 2021 CONCERT HALL, QPAC PROGRAM | MOZART AND BRAHMS I CONTENTS WELCOME 1 IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE ORCHESTRA 2 FOR YOUNGER EARS 4 DEFINTION OF TERMS 8 LISTENING GUIDE 10 ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES 14 SUPPORTING YOUR ORCHESTRA 24 MUSICIANS AND MANAGEMENT 26 II PROGRAM | MOZART AND BRAHMS WELCOME Today we are very privileged to welcome back to the QPAC stage one of the world's greatest oboists - Diana Doherty. The oboe is a notoriously tricky instrument with several parameters that make it hard to master, none more so than the temperamental double reed at the top. These are hand- made by the oboist from a weed similar to bamboo (Arundo Donax for those playing at home). There are but a handful of oboists in the world who are invited to perform as soloists outside of their country, and Diana is one of them. One of my first trips to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as a teenager was to witness Diana perform the Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto. I marvelled at her gloriously resonant oboe sound, especially as she was 37 weeks pregnant! Nearly a decade later I watched Diana premiere Ross Edwards' Oboe Concerto, dressed (as instructed by the composer) as a wild bird, whilst undertaking dance choreography. I can’t think of any other oboist in the world who can pull off these jaw-dropping feats. Today, Diana performs the most famous work from the oboe repertoire - Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C. Diana is one of those oboists who makes the instrument sound like a human voice, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy her breathtaking rendition of this charming yet virtuosic concerto.

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

Sparks will fly as acclaimed pianist Simon Tedeschi joins forces with Adelaide percussionist Nick Parnell in a musical celebration of rhythm, colour and vitality. Blurring the lines between classical and jazz, this spectacular show will include Simon’s signature work - Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue - and the dazzling, Brazilian-inspired Bem-Vindo. “This collaboration came about after Simon and I met in Sydney more than a year ago. It wasn’t long before we realised that we both have a passion for not only classical music, but for jazz as well,” Nick explains. “We decided it would be fun to play music together because we both share the same sense of adventure in exploring different styles of music. It’s going to be exciting to see what happens in the performance!” Virtuosi will be the very first time Nick and Simon have collaborated on stage and the performance is set to be explosive! Both artists have recently returned from extended overseas performances tours. Nick is fresh from a performance and research tour of the USA, France and the UK after winning the prestigious “Dame Roma Churchill Fellowship”.

The TDO was created in 2010, and was an immediate success, drawing musicians from around Australia to Hobart for the inaugural performance. The response for more performance opportunities for orchestral players is evident by the large number of TDO applicants for both the 2010 and 2011 seasons. This demand led to the creation of another new initiative by the Conservatorium of Music, the TDO Sinfonietta , which will be continuing in 2011. This ensemble performs the chamber music repertoire of the 20th- Century and works composed for mixed orchestral ensemble. With a repertoire of known favourites, this ensemble of more intimate proportions than the TDO, is designed for orchestral musicians with advanced chamber instrumental skills. The TDO and TDO Sinfonietta are about investing in the future of Australian music. Our mission is simple: Australian orchestral musicians, not employed in full-time positions with orchestras, need more opportunities to perform. We want our community and audience to get involved! Have you ever wondered how an orchestra works? Or, perhaps, you’ve always wanted to know what the Conductor does.

Dirigés par des grands noms de la scène internationale de l’opéra, pour la direction musicale comme pour la mise en scène, ils abordent tous les aspects du processus de création, dans des conditions professionnelles. L’orchestre et les étudiants des classes de chant du Conservatoire de Paris donnent l’opéra de chambre The Turn of the Screw, composé en 1954 pour la Biennale de Venise par Britten. « La cérémonie de l’innocence est noyée », chantent Miss Jessel et Peter Quint, morts dans des conditions mystérieuses, et qui hantent maintenant le manoir où Flora et Miles sont envoyés avec leur nouvelle gouvernante. Fondé sur une nouvelle fantastique d’Henry James datant de la toute fin du XIXe siècle, l’opéra de Britten est dirigé par Alexander Briger, familier de ce répertoire (il a notamment dirigé en Australie, dont il est originaire, The Rape of Lucretia et A Midsummer Night’s Dream, dans une mise en scène de Baz Luhrmann), et que les Parisiens connaissent pour l’avoir apprécié dans les opéras de John Adams, Nixon in China et I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky au Théâtre du Châtelet.
