CSO Down South: Water and Wild
Thu 10 Apr 2025 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Tuggeranong Arts Centre, 2900
Description
Free-flowing music for flute, piano and cello, inspired by water, breath, spirit and song. Debussy’s Syrinx takes its name from ancient Greek lore. Pursued by Pan, god of the wild, the nymph Syrinx is transformed into river reeds – from which we fashion ‘pan’ pipes. Water mythology also permeates Amy Beach’s ‘Water-Sprites’ Pastorale, which ripples with opalescent textures. Pan was associated with shepherds, lonely figures in the wilds of nature. A Classical work with a Romantic streak, the ‘Shepherd’s Lament’ in Carl Maria von Weber’s piano trio in g minor calls to us as from the hills, full of yearning and virtuosic flourishes.
