An Encounter with History… Music and Gender Identity

​

Hear music from woman composers of all ages … Australian composer Dulcie Holland and the nineteenth century German Romantic Clara Schumann. Holland’s work is imbued with tradition. Sydney Symphony Violist Rosemary Curtin will perform Holland’s viola sonata written in 1932 on the Australian viola (made by AE Smith) on which the work was likely first performed by Rosalind Gumpertz.

​

In addition to Curtin performing sonatas by Brahms and Holland with pianist Jeanell Carrigan, the PhiloMusica event on December 12 will feature songs and Romances by Clara Schumann performed by the talented young singer Ines Paxton and violinist Goetz Richter and smaller works by Dulcie Holland.

​

The performance at 2 pm on December 12 is introduced in a philosophical pre-concert talk on Music and Identity commencing at 1 pm by Goetz Richter, convenor of the Kendall PhiloMusica series. Attendance at the pre-concert talk is free with admission to the concert.

​

All proceeds from the event benefit the Kendall National Violin Competition.
