Chamber music of Europe’s luscious Golden Age

Experience the dreamlike beauty of the music of La Belle Époque, with brilliant music highlighting the harp from impressionist master Claude Debussy, and lyrical romanticism of Camille Saint-Saëns.

During the peaceful decades between wars, a new-found optimism and prosperity fueled striking cultural innovation, creating a Golden Age of art and thought across Europe.

Also in this magical program are exciting new pieces from young Australian composers Andrew Ball and Tristan Coelho, exploring imaginative sounds and textures via collisions of acoustic and electronic instruments.
