Harpist Alice Giles, flautist Jonathan Henderson and violist James Wannan join forces to present a programme centred around French music and contemporary living composers. Together, these three artists bring extensive international experience as soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral performers.
The sonority of the flute, drawn from the human breath, the sombre timbre of the viola's bow across its strings, and the resonant vibrations of the harp combine to create a unique sound world both fragile and richly expressive.
French influence lies at the heart of the programme, whether directly through Debussy's visionary Sonata and his evocative Syrinx, Fauré's luminous Impromptu, or more distantly through the impressionistic language underlying Bax's Elegiac Trio. Alongside these works are two contemporary voices: French composer Bruno Mantovani and Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin.
As the concert unfolds, each musician breaks away as soloist, giving audiences the opportunity to revel in the individual artistry of the performers.
