"New Letters to Esterhazy"
Violin Recital by Rupert Guenther
MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE
Part of a world premiere national tour
Don't miss the national tour of New Letters To Esterhazy Sonata 1. This Sonata is a set of exquisite improvisations for violin performed by the artist. Each movement depicts imaginary letters from the artist in 21st century Australia sent back in time to Austrian musician Joseph Haydn in the 18th century Austro-Hungarian court of Esterhazy. New Letters To Esterhazy was one of 5 new albums of the artist’s improvisations commissioned and recorded by ABC Classic FM. The music of this sonata is full of sunlight, appreciation and hope, yet tenderly handles moments of despair, the winter darkness, and delicate new growth with great compassion.

"Music From Inside the Pyramids"
WA TREASURES GALLERY, HACKETT HALL, WA MUSEUM BOOLA BARDIP
Come on a journey in music and mythical imagery spanning thousands of years and be immersed in the world of ancient Egypt, which laid out so many of the universally adopted rituals, symbols and truths present in all the popular religions throughout history and which are still in use to this present day. The concert moves through the cradle of civilisation to the many divergent forms of evolving cultures in humanity’s timeless search for meaning, healing, and the universal tendency of humans to embark on a quest for wellbeing in their “afterlife”.
