About the concert

Their performance in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall features Ligeti’s fabulously inventive Bagatelles, extracted from his Musica Ricercata, alongside some of the most well-known music written for wind and piano including Poulenc’s exuberant Piano Sextet and Francaix’s witty, L’Heure Du Berger, a tour de force of frivolous perfection! Svetlana Bogosavljevic will feature in the Concerto for Cello and Winds by Australian clarinetist and composer Paul Dean.
