Guitarist Matt Withers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Woollahra Philharmonic Orchestra presents its final concerts for 2017 with Suite Seduction<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 a program of Debussy, Westlake and Mozart treats.<\/p>\n

Debussy’s Petite Suite <\/em>opens the programme, a delightful piece\u00a0<\/em>bubbling with Parisian sparkle and brilliance, it is charming, flirtatious and elegant.<\/p>\n

For this concert, the WPO welcomes star guitarist Matt Withers, of Guitar Trek<\/em> fame, to perform Nigel Westlake\u2019s ice-cold\u00a0Antarctica Suite<\/em>. Composed originally for the film of the same name, this stunningly beautiful work fuses the romanticism of the guitar with the precision of a classical orchestra to capture the diverse and enigmatic landscapes of the southern continent\u2019s dramatic, frozen landscape.<\/p>\n

Matt is an ambassador for Australian music, a well-established teacher, performer and mentor for musicians globally. He has performed with esteemed artists including William Barton, the Carl Pini Quartet and various national orchestras whilst maintaining strong commitments in the leading Australian chamber music groups Guitar Trek, alongside Timothy Kain, AM and the Brew Guitar Duo. Matt is also proud to have performed, recorded and commissioned Australian works and his commercial albums appear on on ABC Classics (Australia) and Soundset Recordings (USA).<\/p>\n

The final work is Mozart\u2019s stormy Symphony in G minor, No 40<\/em>. Its driving rhythms, dark harmonies and intricately weaving textures create a soundscape of intrigue and mystery, while simultaneously an elegant and refined work of art, perfect in form and structure.<\/p>\n

The WPO welcomes to the podium for the first time, conductor John Buckley who has enjoyed a long, successful career spanning thirty five years as a conductor, multi-instrumentalist, adjudicator, clinician and music educator. John has been the Music Director of the Corrective Services, NSW Band, Music Director of both the Sydney Wind Symphony and the Wind Symphony at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, an active clinician and adjudicator for the Sydney Eisteddfod, Engadine Band Festival, and the NSW School Band Festival.<\/p>\n
