Rigg Bequest Classic Music 2026 - in Special and Sacred Spaces
Across Time and Tradition: Music for Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano
Robert Schubert - clarinet, Matthew Angus - bassoon, and Robert Chamberlain - piano, trace a musical journey that spans centuries, styles and cultures, in the warm acoustics of St John's Anglican Church, Camberwell.
Uniting Classical clarity, Romantic lyricism and contemporary re‑imagining, this program ranges from the intimate poetry of Schumann’s Abegg Variations and Glinka’s enthralling Trio Pathétique, to the elegant conversational forms of Lefèvre and Kreutzer, where clarinet and bassoon speak with wit, balance and grace. These European traditions are refracted through the voice of Australian‑Chinese composer Julian Yu, whose reworking of Glinka’s Romance and vivid Uygur Dance bring folk melody and cross‑cultural perspective into the present.
Join other audience members and the artists for post-concert refreshments hosted by the Friends of the Team of Pianists.
This program celebrates the enduring power of wind instruments to sing, converse and dance across time, tradition and place.

After interval, brilliant solo pianist Kevin Suherman performs works by Schumann and Liszt: Liszt's rapturous arrangement of Schumann's 'Widmung' (Dedication) and the kaleidoscopic scenes of Schumann’s Carnaval Op. 9.
