Benaud Trio: Cawrse & Fanny Mendelssohn
Sat 1 July @ 14:00 - 15:00
$40 – $50ORNAMENTAL
While Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn were as prodigious musicians as one can imagine, Fanny was regularly left standing in her brother’s shadow. Felix’ talent was celebrated, while their father declared Fanny’s musicianship to be an ornament to her domestic life.
This performance title Ornamental celebrates the life, the music, and the relationship between these two great composers.
Opening with the Melbourne premiere of Anne Cawrse’ Songs Without Words, this unapologetically lyrical piece was composed for the trio in 2020, while Fanny Mendelssohn’s substantial and dramatic Trio Op.11 rounds out the afternoon of music.
