Souvenirs of Home - Hourglass Ensemble

Chamber music invoking memories of home.

Australians have a severe case of the travel bug, wanderlust, a searching spirit… but the most precious things are those we long for from home, when we find ourselves in distant lands. 

Firstly, our TRAVELS in two of the greatest masterpieces of chamber music, from trips to Germany and the USA the mighty, endless, autumnal clarinet trio of Brahms, and the quirky, athletic dynamism of Telephone Book by American Michael Torke. 

And in this magical program, our HOME exciting contemporary works from Brazil, and from brilliant young Australian composers Greenaway, Chance, and Muller, exploring the emotionally explosive sonorities from piano trio to breathless flute choir.
