SPECIAL PERFORMANCE Australian soprano, Merlyn Quaife’s decision to walk the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St James) came after a complete physical and emotional collapse. It was a time of reflection, planning, simply being and being simple. Merlyn describes the journey as ‘greater than any performance’ and a fitting way to say thank-you for her restored health. Every church she found empty was an invitation to sing, even if only a few lines. The open road also elicited snippets of a range of songs. Any church mass with a pilgrim blessing was attended (for Merlyn an essential part of the experience). Only rarely did she allow other pilgrims to hear that she is a singer. In her presentation, Merlyn invites you to share some of her experiences, reflections and songs that came to her as she walked 800 kilometres of the Camino de Santiago.

W.A. Mozart: The first concert in the 2009-2010 Concerto Series begins with two reasonably overlooked works. The first violin concerto is a delightful exploration of the composer's own ability on the instrument as, unlike most of his works, the violin concerti originated in his own performance interests. Between the two instrumental concerti, soprano Nathalie Chalkley presents two arias from Mozart's operas, accompanied by the orchestra. Joining this is the only Bassoon Concerto which survives to the modern day, and which still forms a staple of the instrument's repertoire but rarely heard in today's concert halls.

Joanna Hort violin Conductor: Nick Newland J.S. Bach: Opening this concert, Joanna Hort presents Bach's first violin concerto, before pianist Mariko North performs the stunning Piano Concerto No.21 (featured in the Swedish film Elvira Madigan, representing a lazy boat ride on a placid lake and which has led to the nickname of this concerto). Following this, the orchestra continues its journey through Mozart's violin concerti with Irish violinist Aisling Manning performing No.3.
