Performing alongside one of Melbourne’s most celebrated string quartets (The Song Quartet) and maestro Rhodri Clarke on an exquisite grand piano, these Scholars will transport you to other worlds — of folk tales in taverns, of grief and of the divine. With works by Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, Brahms and more, Charmingly Chamber is sure to be an uplifting and moving musical afternoon.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be enraptured by the sounds of strings, voices and piano coming together in perfect harmony.
The performance will run until approximately 5pm with a 20 minute interval.
