Art Song Canberra Annual Report 2006 Art Song Canberra Inc. www.artsongcanberra.org SEASON OF SONG 2017 In 2017 Art Song Canberra will present seven recitals of fine art song by an outstanding array of first- rate artists, most widely experienced on the world stage. Background Art Song Canberra was founded as the A.C.T. Lieder Society in 1976 by a small group of devotees led by Eleanor Houston OAM of Covent Garden fame. Art Song Canberra’s purpose is to foster and extend the love of art song. This is done mainly by: presenting the Season of Song, an annual series of high quality concerts, to its members and the general public; providing development opportunities such as masterclasses for talented, developing singers; and conducting Members’ Soirées, gatherings of members to sing and play together in a social setting, in the manner of the earliest Lieder societies. In each year of its life the society has presented a series art song recitals. The great majority of the society’s artists have been highly accomplished both in Australia and internationally. Singers have included such noted Australians as Sally-Anne Russell, Greta Bradman, Merlyn Quaife AM, Nicholas Dinopoulos, Christopher Allan, Louise Page OAM and Christina Wilson. Overseas-based singers have included Susan Burghardt (USA), Tanya Aspelmeier, Knut Schoch, Erwin Belakowitsch and Australian Sally Wilson (Germany), Rebecca Ryan (New Zealand), Thomas Weinhappel (Austria) and Bruce Cain (USA) who appeared with guitarist David Asbury. Pianists have included (from Australia) Andrew Greene, Andrea Katz, David Miller AM, Leigh Harrold, Phillipa Candy, Alan Hicks and Nigel Butterley. Overseas-based pianists have included Roy Howat (UK) and Australians Mark Kruger (Germany) and Stephen Delaney (Austria). Recital programs have ranged widely from such classics of the Lieder repertoire as song cycles of Schubert and Schumann to fine art song by an immense variety of composers including Australians Horace Keats, Nigel Butterley and Betty Beath. Season of Song 2017 Season of Song 2017 will begin in late February with a recital with romantic theme by husband-and- wife duo Christina Wilson and Alan Hicks. Sally Wilson and Mark Kruger gave a recital for Art Song Canberra in 2010. Not long returned to Australia after some years living and working in Germany, they will make a return appearance in April. In May Louise Page and Phillipa Candy with clarinettist Rachel Best Allen will perform a program including Schubert’s wonderful “Shepherd on the Rock”. Sonia Anfiloff and Ben Connor will again visit from Vienna to perform with Alan Hicks in July. Rising stars Julia Wee and Lucus Allerton will in September perform a program of songs sung by the renowned soprano, Jessye Norman. Alan Hicks will return to the platform with Jill Sullivan, co- founder of Art Song Perth, and violist Robert Harris in October to perform a program with a nocturnal theme including the wonderful Brahms Alto Rhapsody. In the final concert in November Susan Ellis, accompanied by Dianna Nixon, both widely known in the Canberra musical scene, will present a fascinating program featuring two 19th-century poets, Mary Gilmore and Emily Dickinson. In September Art Song Canberra will present a masterclass for performers of art song given by its Patron, renowned soprano Yvonne Kenny AM. The masterclass is generously sponsored by the Wesley Music Foundation. All will be welcome to join the audience to observe a leading pedagogue in the field of art song at work. High-resolution pictures of all artists are available from the press kit page of www.artsongcanberra.org Admission to the concerts includes a complimentary program and light refreshments: Full price $35; Seniors, pensioners, Friends of ArtSound FM, Friends of Wesley Music and Musica Viva subscribers $30; Art Song Canberra members $25; Full-time students $15. Page 2 of 12 pages Sunday 26th February DANGEROUS ROMANTICS 3pm, Wesley Music Centre, National Circuit, Forrest Christina Wilson (mezzo-soprano) and Alan Hicks (piano) Drenched in scandal, iconic Romantic poets Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and Paul Verlaine wrote sublime verse of intense emotion and free self-expression, inspiring generations of composers. This recital explores the luscious fruit of that inspiration in works by Reynaldo Hahn, Gabriel Faure, Claude Debussy, Frederick Septimus Kelly, Roger Quilter and Graeme Koehne.

Sunday 2nd April A BREATH OF FRESH AIR 3pm, Wesley Music Centre, National Circuit, Forrest Sally Wilson (mezzo-soprano) and Mark Kruger (piano) Traversing a wide range of composers and styles centring around Alban Berg’s youthful and deeply expressive Seven Early Songs, the duo selects and curates their repertoire not for its reputation or historical interest, but for its sheer emotional impact and to showcase Ms Wilson’s exceptional dramatic talent. This allows both the artists and audiences to stay creative and engaged in what is a moving and intriguing concert not to be missed! Sally Wilson Sally Wilson has performed in Europe, the UK, the USA, Asia and Australia for the past twenty years in opera, concert, chamber music and recital.

Her repertoire now includes roles such as Abigaille (Nabucco), Ariadne (Ariadne auf Naxos), Leonora (Il Trovatore) and Lady Macbeth, but she also continues to sing classical, baroque and modern repertoire. Her most recent role debut was Agathe (Der Freischütz), and she just performed the role of Nefertiti, once again, in Phillip Glass's opera, Akhnaten.

    A Message from CCS President, Alison White I warmly welcome you to the Albert Hall and our performance which celebrates this lovely venue and relives some of the great concerts which were held here in Canberra’s early years. There is something for everyone in this afternoon’s concert and I would like to acknowledge all the talented local Canberra artists who have contributed to the program and of course our creative and talented conductor and Artistic Director, Tobias Cole. I would also like to thank the very hard-working members of the Canberra Choral Society committee and choir members who devote hours of their time to the choir and without whose hard work we could not possibly put on these performances. The Canberra Choral Society relies in major part on funding from ticket sales and donations and I gratefully acknowledge those donors who have so generously supported this concert. You too can choose to support us and by doing so help us to present high quality and creative performances for Canberra audiences. All donations to the Canberra Choral Society are tax deductible. Our next performance will be the Australian premiere on period instruments of the Handel oratorio Theodora, with acclaimed soprano Greta Bradman, guest conductor Brett Weymark from Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and our own Tobias Cole, along with many other talented musicians and singers. This concert will be performed in the Canberra Playhousea first for the CCS and a really exciting venture. We look forward to seeing you in the audience on Sunday 23 June. In the meantime I hope you enjoy today’s entertaining program.

It is the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Wolfgang Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. His musical talents revealed themselves at a tender age. Well before his teens father Leopold took him and his likewise gifted older sister Nannerl on several tours through Europe. Soon he became a widely known and admired child prodigy of an unsurpassed class of his own. Already at eight years old his first music was being published. It was the beginning of an astonishing career. The sheer amount of music he wrote is, with hindsight, incredible and of high quality. Amadeus must have written very fast to manage composing the over 600 works he left to posterity. His manuscripts hardly contain any deletions. Mozart’s versatility is impressive too. He wrote anything from simple canons for keyboard to large-scale symphonies and operas on a great variety of librettos.
