Helen Vidovich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Sirius Chamber Ensemble presents its inaugural concert for 2012 with an innovative programme that welcomes back\u00a0guest flautist Helen Vidovich, visiting Australia from her base in the UK.\u00a0It’s an exclusive opportunity to hear\u00a0this Australian born musician who graduated in Melbourne and furthered her studies with Alison Mitchell and Geoffrey Collins. She\u00a0obtained a Master of Music Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium and\u00a0won an Australian Bicentennial Scholarship in 2006 to continue her studies at the Royal College of Music in London. Vidovich now\u00a0freelances with the orchestra of the Welsh National Opera and with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, as well as performing\u00a0chamber music with the\u00a0Marsyas Trio.<\/p>\n

The Sirius Chamber Ensemble was born from friendships amongst a group of talented freelance musicians.\u00a0Clarinetist Ian Sykes leads the ensemble whose members include bassoonist Alison Evans, Julia Zeltzer playing the French horn, Georgina Price, viola, and cellist Clare Kahn.<\/p>\n

Their\u00a0programme\u00a0is grounded in the classics with the Clarinet Trio Op.11<\/em> by Beethoven, but\u00a0then arrives in\u00a0the 20th century\u00a0with\u00a0Martinu’s Trio for flute, cello and piano <\/em>and\u00a0Nigel Butterley’s The Wind Stirs Gently <\/em>(1992)\u00a0for flute and cello. Things get really interesting with\u00a0the Sonatine et Trio for flute, clarinet and piano<\/em> by Florent Schmitt, Disco Toccata<\/em> for clarinet and cello by Guillaume Connesson, and new arrangements of pieces by Adrienne Albert for flute, clarinet, cello and piano.<\/p>\n

Florent Schmitt (1870-1957)\u00a0was a significant French composer\u00a0and critic\u00a0of the 20th century. He was taught by Faure and Massenet and fraternised with the best – amongst them Stravinsky, Satie and Debussy.\u00a0 He rejected Impressionism but was drawn to Orientalism, Modernism and Jazz. His music was widely popular during the first half of the 20th century, but then fell into obscurity. He was revered enough to be\u00a0awarded the L\u00e9gion d’honneur <\/em>in 1952.<\/p>\n

Guillaume Connesson is an emerging\u00a021st century composer, also born (1970) in France. His music has been performed by the Cincinnati, BBC and Houston Symphony Orchestras and the Philadelphia Orchestra. his Disco Toccata<\/em> was written in 1994. Contemporary American composer Adrienne Albert (b 1941) began her career in music as a mezzo-soprano and is gaining recognition as a composer. SdeS<\/em><\/p>\n
