Guest soloists are Ermanno Brignolo, guitar &amp; Mauro Colombis, piano.<\/p>\n<p>Argentinian Guastavino \u2013 who has been described as the \u201cSchubert of the Pampas\u201d \u2013 was a prolific 20<sup>th<\/sup> century composer of melodious and lyrical songs, accompanied by guitar or piano. Indianas is a cycle of 6 songs for mixed chorus, with the piano often behaving more like a guitar! The influence of Latin American folk rhythms is strong, while the texts, passionate declarations of love, evoke nature in all its beauty and cruelty.<\/p>\n<p>Castelnuovo-Tedesco ultimately made his name as a major Hollywood film score composer. However, his family can be traced back to the Jewish expulsion from Spain in 1492 to exile in Florence\u2026 and then \u2013 ironically \u2013 escape to the US from persecution in fascist Italy. Inspired by the great romantic poets of all eras and nations (famously Aeschylus, Virgil, Keats, Wordsworth, Whitman and Shakespeare) his \u2018Gypsy Romances\u2019 for choir and guitar are set to verses by the iconic Spanish poet Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca. Sensuous, dramatic and passionate, they tell of orange and olive groves, dancing in the street and weeping guitars.<\/p>\n<p>Dividing his time between Australia and his native Italy, Ermanno Brignolo is an acclaimed guitar virtuoso performer, recording artist and teacher \u2013 known especially for his authentic interpretations of classic 20<sup>th<\/sup> and 21<sup>st<\/sup> century pieces. Mauro Colombis is a versatile Italian pianist from the town of Pordenone where he lived before moving to Australia in 2005. With Masters degrees in piano performance from the Moscow and Venice conservatoriums and a Bachelor in Drama, Arts and Music Studies (University of Bologna), he has given celebrated solo and chamber music concerts across Europe and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Under the direction of founding conductor, the experienced and versatile Margot McLaughlin, Coro Austral is an auditioned chamber choir which primarily performs 13th to 21st century music from Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. These include Renaissance Spain and Portugal, Mexican Baroque, Brazilian classical and contemporary folkloric songs from Chile, Argentina and the Caribbean &#8211; as well as a range of works from Australia and elsewhere. Formed in 2010, it has introduced often previously little-known choral music to Australian audiences. In 2017 Coro Austral toured Cuba to great acclaim!<\/p>\n<p>Conductor, Margot McLaughlin With Ermanno Brignolo, guitar &amp; Mauro Colombis, piano<\/p>\n<p>Tickets $35 \/ $30 concession \u2013 refreshments by gold coin donation<\/p>\n<p>Book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stickytickets.com.au\/91627\">www.stickytickets.com.au\/91627<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sydney\u2019s specialist Spanish and Latin American a cappella choir, Coro Austral under Artistic Director Margot McLaughlin, unearths \u2018hidden treasure\u2019 for music lovers&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"sls_format":[],"class_list":["post-26760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shows"],"acf":{"deck":"","is_featured":false,"media_type":"standard","audio_embed":"","video_url":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Coro Austral Presents TESORO: Treasures for Choir, Guitar &amp;
