Katie Yap
Timeless Bach with one of Australia’s great modern violists.
Brisbane-born, Melbourne-based violist Katie Yap brings her signature warmth to a morning of Bach in The Peter and Ruth McMullin Beacon.
The flowing arpeggios of J.S Bach’s Cello Suite No.1, reimagined for viola, give way to the quiet familiarity of Bach's beloved chorales. Contemporary works including Emily Sheppard's deeply intimate Aftermath and Leilehua Lanzilotti's meditative ko'u inoa are interspersed throughout the program, drawing old and new into gentle conversation. As the sun streams in, let Katie's storytelling and sound start your week on a high.
Duration: 1 hour (no interval). Please note, running times are approximate and subject to change.
Morning Tea: Enjoy a delicious complimentary morning tea before this Beacon Bach performance. The Beacon opens one hour before the performance, giving you plenty of time to settle in.
