CSO Down South closes its 2024 chamber series with a presentation of piano works which pay homage to heritage, exploring familial connections in works by Dvorak, Suk and Mendelssohn. Be enchanted by Elena Kats-Chernin’s Calliope Dreaming, a modern Australian masterpiece featuring evocative rhythms and mesmerising melodies, allowing your imagination to take flight. Experience the warmth and nostalgia of Dvorak’s Songs my Mother Told Me, a journey through the heart of Czech folk traditions, full of old-world rustic charm and heartfelt emotion. We end with the sublime and hauntingly beautiful Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op.49 by Mendelssohn, a work full of timeless elegance and enchantment, showcasing the precision of Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s Piano Trio.
