SUMMARY:Royal Australian Navy 125th Anniversary Concert
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Susan Pierotti and pianist Brian Chapman join forces to present a Duo-Recital comprising a rich and varied selection of works by Ludwig van Beethoven. The concert opens with a perennial favourite – the engagingly melodious “Spring” Sonata in F\, Op.24\, followed by the composer’s final Violin Sonata – the serenely pastoral G major Sonata Op.96. After a short Interval the second half of the program will commence with the beautifully conceived Andante favori for solo piano\, WoO.57\, rarely heard these days in concert but often played by the composer as a favourite salon piece and famously used as such in the hands of Georgiana Darcy in the BBC TV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s most dramatic and heaven-storming Violin Sonta – the fiery and impassioned Sonata in C minor\, Op.30\, No.2. This is a feast of Beethoven chamber music not to be missed! 								\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Program Violin Sonata No. 5 in F\, Op. 24 (Spring) Violin Sonata No. 10 in G\, Op. 96 Interval Andate favouri for solo piano\, Wo0. 57 Violin Sonato No. 7 in C minor\, Op. 30 No. 2 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Program and notes (PDF 397KB) 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Notes\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Tickets Adult/Senior $35 | Concession $30 | Student $15 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Bookings\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n            \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Rosemary’s Book of the Week | Cold River by Margaret Hickey\n                        Cold River Margaret Hickey Don’t miss Margaret who will be...

SUMMARY:Book Sale | Reward yourself with some excellent Autumn reading
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Susan Pierotti and pianist Brian Chapman join forces to present a Duo-Recital comprising a rich and varied selection of works by Ludwig van Beethoven. The concert opens with a perennial favourite – the engagingly melodious “Spring” Sonata in F\, Op.24\, followed by the composer’s final Violin Sonata – the serenely pastoral G major Sonata Op.96. After a short Interval the second half of the program will commence with the beautifully conceived Andante favori for solo piano\, WoO.57\, rarely heard these days in concert but often played by the composer as a favourite salon piece and famously used as such in the hands of Georgiana Darcy in the BBC TV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s most dramatic and heaven-storming Violin Sonta – the fiery and impassioned Sonata in C minor\, Op.30\, No.2. This is a feast of Beethoven chamber music not to be missed! 								\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Program Violin Sonata No. 5 in F\, Op. 24 (Spring) Violin Sonata No. 10 in G\, Op. 96 Interval Andate favouri for solo piano\, Wo0. 57 Violin Sonato No. 7 in C minor\, Op. 30 No. 2 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Program and notes (PDF 397KB) 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Notes\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Tickets Adult/Senior $35 | Concession $30 | Student $15 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Bookings\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n            \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Rosemary’s Book of the Week | Cold River by Margaret Hickey\n                        Cold River Margaret Hickey Don’t miss Margaret who will be...
