2023 Orange Chamber Music Festival Gala Launch Event to be held in the Derek Pigot Auditorium

Friday 10 March, 7:00pm

Derek Pigot Auditorium, Kinross Wolaroi School - Orange

 

Kinross Wolaroi School will host the launch of the 2023 Orange Chamber Music Festival at a gala event to be held in the school's Derek Pigot Auditorium. 

 

The Gala will feature - for the first time in Orange - Camerata, Queensland's Chamber Orchestra and the Orava Quartet. This event is not to be missed. Presented in partnership with Kinross Wolaroi School with the support of the Australian Cultural Fund.

 

Nineteen musicians from Brisbane, Qld will make the trek to Orange for the first time, for an evening of Tchaikovsky and Elgar, as well as two new Australian compositions by Robert Davidson (Qld) and Nicholas Russoniello (NSW).

 

Camerata, a most vibrant and charismatic chamber orchestra will lead the occasion, opening with the Serenade for Strings in C major op. 48 by the Russian composer. The Orava Quartet, ensemble of residence will conclude as a feature, with Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings op. 47.

 

Another exciting feature at this Gala is the premiere of a new Baritone Saxophone Concerto, in the virtuosic hands of local Jay Byrnes (pictured). Jay is internationally recognised for his affinity to the baritone saxophone and his distinctive tone. Jay Byrnes is a founder of the Orange Chamber Music Festival and a tutor at Kinross Wolaroi School.

The evening promises to be a real treat that will showcase the vision of this Festival. 

 

The Festival Gala is curated by the Festival Director Carmen Nieves, in consultation with the guest ensemble. Carmen is passionate about showcasing the versatility of chamber music, and for this program, the inclusion of Australian music is the reflection of the diversity and freshness of this Festival. Since 2021, the Orange Chamber Music Festival has been hailed for its fresh and refined appeal, whilst showcasing the extensive arts and cultural features of Orange.
