What a delightful way to introduce the true song masters – Mendelssohn (both Fanny and Felix), Chopin and Schubert! Australian composer Anne Cawrse composed her lovely work as a special commission by the ABC and it reflects on the special relationship between the Mendelssohn siblings. Chopin’s beautiful and only piano trio follows and it is no surprise that it envelops his uncanny ability to create repose, virtuosity and drama. Schubert’s sizable final piano trio, composed shortly before his death, closes this stunning program encompassing the composers we adore for their genius with song. Alexandra Osborne returns for this program with Catherine Hewgill, SSO Principal Cellist, an old friend who is warmly welcomed to Selby & Friends for the first time in 2025.
