Elder Conservatorium After Hours Concert - Future Memories

Beethoven - Trio in B-flat major, Op. 11
Poulenc - Sextet for Piano and Winds, Op. 100
Keith Crellin - Piano Trio
Mendelssohn - Octet for Strings in E-flat major, Op. 20

A stellar assembly of Conservatorium staff and alumni gather for a special gala concert, at once demonstrating the artistry and collegiality of our community, while raising funds to support our ongoing mission. Beethoven’s Gassenhauer Trio displays a rare combination of clarinet, cello and piano. Good-humoured Poulenc produced his light-hearted, satiric sextet whilst a member of Les Six and by sixteen Mendelssohn was already a highly experienced composer when this “miracle of the 19th century” flowed from his pen as a birthday present for a violinist friend. Crellin is widely known as a leading Australian solo and chamber violist, as well as for his long-term teaching at the Elder Conservatorium, but here demonstrates another string to his bow.

**Box office: Open 45 minutes prior to the concert
