For the first time, you will hear the Apollo Trio 'in sonata form', as they re-group to present two duo-sonatas, including the familiar and exciting 'Kreutzer'. Concluding the concert is the unmissable Trio in E flat major, considered by many to be the composer's finest.

3rd and 4th August, 2007Outback to Schubert |
Apollo Trio : Maria Lindsay - violin, Thomas Tsai - cello, Daniel Herscovitch - piano
The vast journey of this program begins with Sculthorpe's unmistakeable sounds of the Australian outback. After a touch of the late romantic by Bloch and Bridge, let the sheer beauty of Schubert's masterpiece take you to a 19th century salon in Vienna, where his Trio in B flat ingeniously captures the essence of each instrument and the very soul of the Piano Trio.
