Ensemble Lumen: Towards the Light (Daylight Express)

In its debut performance, Ensemble Lumen explores facets of light in all its radiant forms. The program will illuminate the rarely heard music of William Shield, whose melodies once charmed the ears of Mozart and Beethoven. Dai Fujikura brings the solo horn to life in yurayura, conjuring the mesmerising dance of a candle-lit flame. The Australian premiere of Libby Larsen's Trio Noir draws a shimmering sonic parallel between music and the mystery of film noir, while Dohnányi's sweeping Sextet embarks on a dramatic journey through light and shadow.

Performed by Elder Conservatorium Faculty – Lloyd Van't Hoff (clarinet), Emma Gregan (French horn), Lucinda Collins (piano), Anna Goldsworthy (piano), Elizabeth Layton (violin), Stephen King (viola), Edith Salzmann (cello).
