Programme
This is a rare treat: virtuosi, most more often seen in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, perform works from the lyricism of Schubert’s song and the luminosity of Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, K581 to the drama of Dvořák's Piano Quintet, Opus 81.
Julie Lea Goodwin (soprano), Francesco Celata (clarinet) and Vivian Choi-Milton (piano) open with Schubert’s The Shepherd on the Rock. Andrew Haveron (violin 1), Alexandra Osborne (violin 2), Tobias Breider (viola) and Catherine Hewgill (cello) complete the two quintets.

About the Artists
The Sydney Soloists are an ensemble of musicians with distinguished careers in orchestral, solo and ensemble performance. Most are principal performers in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. As a chamber ensemble, they perform with passion, intelligence and masterful technique.
Artistic Director Francesco Celata described the special qualities of the group "The core of the Sydney Soloists are orchestral players who know each other very well; we work together every week. Often we are joined by guest performers, whom we know well. So when we come together in a chamber group there is a natural rapport, a shared musical understanding and similar style. That familiarity is essential; it gives us a firm base, so that we can develop our ideas for the pieces we perform. It is very satisfying to work as a group, all contributing ideas and working towards musical consensus and a beautiful performance."
