He has made over 100 ABC studio recordings and broadcasts and presented many recitals with prominent Australian and international musicians. In 2020 he published two contrarian essays with accompanying recordings available as e-downloads from Australian Scholarly Publishing and search for “Brian Chapman”. The first of these essays/recordings – Grief\, Denial and Rage: A Personal Odyssey with Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ Sonata – offers a unique interpretation of the sonata’s first movement\, identifying and eliminating five universally adopted distortions in its execution; these distortions relate to misconceptions about the sonata’s accidental dedication to Countess Julie Guicciardi that were disproved in 1872. The second essay/recording – The Hurdy-Gurdy Man: The sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s ‘Die Winterreise’ – derives from Brian’s long experience with performing and recording Schubert’s Winterreise along with his 2019 creation of a new English singable translation. From his research he concludes that the ironic sting-in-the-tail of the final Winterreise poem has been either accidentally overlooked or wilfully disregarded by almost everyone\, including Franz Schubert and most of the subsequent generations of the Müller/Schubert/Winterreise cognoscenti; Brian has adapted Schubert’s own musical thematic material to align the accompaniment of the concluding verse of Winterreise with the sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s original poem. \n \n \n \n \n Violinist Susan Pierotti Susan Pierotti began learning the violin at the age of six with Stella Nemet and continued her studies with her daughter Mary Nemet at the Victorian College of the Arts and in London where she played with the London Sinfonietta and the London Mozart Players.

He has made over 100 ABC studio recordings and broadcasts and presented many recitals with prominent Australian and international musicians. In 2020 he published two contrarian essays with accompanying recordings available as e-downloads from Australian Scholarly Publishing and search for “Brian Chapman”. The first of these essays/recordings – Grief\, Denial and Rage: A Personal Odyssey with Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ Sonata – offers a unique interpretation of the sonata’s first movement\, identifying and eliminating five universally adopted distortions in its execution; these distortions relate to misconceptions about the sonata’s accidental dedication to Countess Julie Guicciardi that were disproved in 1872. The second essay/recording – The Hurdy-Gurdy Man: The sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s ‘Die Winterreise’ – derives from Brian’s long experience with performing and recording Schubert’s Winterreise along with his 2019 creation of a new English singable translation. From his research he concludes that the ironic sting-in-the-tail of the final Winterreise poem has been either accidentally overlooked or wilfully disregarded by almost everyone\, including Franz Schubert and most of the subsequent generations of the Müller/Schubert/Winterreise cognoscenti; Brian has adapted Schubert’s own musical thematic material to align the accompaniment of the concluding verse of Winterreise with the sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s original poem. \n \n \n \n \n Violinist Susan Pierotti Susan Pierotti began learning the violin at the age of six with Stella Nemet and continued her studies with her daughter Mary Nemet at the Victorian College of the Arts and in London where she played with the London Sinfonietta and the London Mozart Players.

He has made over 100 ABC studio recordings and broadcasts and presented many recitals with prominent Australian and international musicians. In 2020 he published two contrarian essays with accompanying recordings available as e-downloads from Australian Scholarly Publishing and search for “Brian Chapman”. The first of these essays/recordings – Grief\, Denial and Rage: A Personal Odyssey with Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ Sonata – offers a unique interpretation of the sonata’s first movement\, identifying and eliminating five universally adopted distortions in its execution; these distortions relate to misconceptions about the sonata’s accidental dedication to Countess Julie Guicciardi that were disproved in 1872. The second essay/recording – The Hurdy-Gurdy Man: The sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s ‘Die Winterreise’ – derives from Brian’s long experience with performing and recording Schubert’s Winterreise along with his 2019 creation of a new English singable translation. From his research he concludes that the ironic sting-in-the-tail of the final Winterreise poem has been either accidentally overlooked or wilfully disregarded by almost everyone\, including Franz Schubert and most of the subsequent generations of the Müller/Schubert/Winterreise cognoscenti; Brian has adapted Schubert’s own musical thematic material to align the accompaniment of the concluding verse of Winterreise with the sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s original poem. \n \n \n \n \n Violinist Susan Pierotti Susan Pierotti began learning the violin at the age of six with Stella Nemet and continued her studies with her daughter Mary Nemet at the Victorian College of the Arts and in London where she played with the London Sinfonietta and the London Mozart Players.

Steele and Roy Shepherd. Brian has performed widely in Melbourne\, interstate and overseas\, including the United States\, Mexico\, Germany and China. He has made over 100 ABC studio recordings and broadcasts and presented many recitals with prominent Australian and international musicians. In 2020 he published two contrarian essays with accompanying recordings available as e-downloads from Australian Scholarly Publishing and search for “Brian Chapman”. The first of these essays/recordings – Grief\, Denial and Rage: A Personal Odyssey with Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ Sonata – offers a unique interpretation of the sonata’s first movement\, identifying and eliminating five universally adopted distortions in its execution; these distortions relate to misconceptions about the sonata’s accidental dedication to Countess Julie Guicciardi that were disproved in 1872. The second essay/recording – The Hurdy-Gurdy Man: The sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s ‘Die Winterreise’ – derives from Brian’s long experience with performing and recording Schubert’s Winterreise along with his 2019 creation of a new English singable translation. From his research he concludes that the ironic sting-in-the-tail of the final Winterreise poem has been either accidentally overlooked or wilfully disregarded by almost everyone\, including Franz Schubert and most of the subsequent generations of the Müller/Schubert/Winterreise cognoscenti; Brian has adapted Schubert’s own musical thematic material to align the accompaniment of the concluding verse of Winterreise with the sting-in-the-tail of Müller’s original poem. \n \n \n \n \n Violinist Susan Pierotti Susan Pierotti began learning the violin at the age of six with Stella Nemet and continued her studies with her daughter Mary Nemet at the Victorian College of the Arts and in London where she played with the London Sinfonietta and the London Mozart Players. Since then\, Susan has enjoyed a career spanning symphony\, opera and ballet orchestras\, chamber music\, recitals\, theatre\, film\, live broadcasts\, television\, teaching\, reviewing and adjudicating. She has been closely involved in commissioning\, performing and recording contemporary music with numerous groups for over four decades. Susan has worked extensively with several Australian orchestras and with Orchestra Victoria from 1990 where she was the 1st Violin Section Leader for 17 years. She was appointed concertmaster of Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra in December 2016 and has recently led Geelong and Ballarat symphony orchestras. She is an Accredited Editor with the Institute of Professional Editors\, her work being shortlisted for the inaugural Rosanne Fitzgibbon Award for the best edited Australian book. She is the National Editor of Stringendo\, the magazine of the Australian Strings Association and her history of the association\, Molto AUSTA\, was published in 2022. She has published two books\, Manuscript to Market and Losing My Parents. \n \n \n \n \n Cellist Rosanne Hunt Rosanne Hunt grew up surrounded by music\, being the youngest child of iconic Melbourne cello teacher\, the late Marianne Hunt\, and the younger half-sister of renowned musical twins\, violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch and the late cellist Tanya Prochazka. After commencing cello studies with her mother as a six-year-old she was soon playing in orchestras and as a teenager led the Australian Youth Orchestra cellos on their 1984 European tour. After starting medicine at University\, Rosanne decided instead to pursue cello further with Christian Wojtowicz in Hobart and then with the extraordinary philosopher-cellist Anner Bylsma in the Hague. After a later detour into organic farming she returned to cello studies with Irene Sharp in San Francisco\, resulting in Rosanne’s becoming an effective and passionate cello teacher. Her varied and stimulating career has including playing with the Australian Chamber Orchestra\, touring Europe several times with the contemporary group ELISION\, and playing baroque cello with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra. Rosanne organises and plays with the Melbourne Baroque Orchestra\, which celebrates its 10th year this year (www.melbournebaroqueorchestra.com)\, has recently performed Bach’s Fifth Cello Suite at the Melbourne Recital Centre\, and has upcoming concerts with Forest Collective and the Inventi Ensemble. She is a teacher of cello and chamber music at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School and also has many private students of all ages and stages! Rosanne appeared this past January in Flinders with the the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra chamber players as part of the Peninsula Summer Music Festival. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Brian Chapman\, Pianist\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Susan Pierotti\, Violinist\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rosanne Hunt\, Cellist\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings & Refreshment Complimentary light refreshments will be served at Interval.
