Camerata – Sisters

Featuring:
Monica Curro - violin
Sarah Curro - violin

What to expect:
No sibling rivalry here! Brisbane-born sisters Monica and Sarah Curro make a welcome return home from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to show their musical mettle. The program celebrates old and new, with the iconic concerto affectionately known as the Bach Double and a stunning work for two violins and strings by Richard Mills, played in the 70th birthday year of this distinguished Toowoomba-born composer.

Transfigured Night traces the romantic story of two lovers taking in an evening walk, but even in their state of blissful rapture one of them has a secret to reveal. It’s one of the most passionate, sensual and gripping pieces in the entire string orchestra repertoire.

Program:
Bach Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, BWV 1043
Wild card mystery guest segment
Mills Concerto for Two Violins
Schoenberg Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Op.4
