This special music collection is handpicked because of the memories evoked from her childhood; expect interesting introductions about each piece. Come along and experience gorgeous music by Debussy, Mendelssohn, Vaughan Williams, Saint-Saëns, Arvo Pärt, Fauré, Ravel and groovy Australian music by Matthew Hindson. Guest professional pianist Catherine Guineve-Lynaugh is travelling from Brisbane especially at the invite of Artistic Director Louise King to perform for one night only in Eudlo.
“Musicians simply love playing great music with inspiring musicians for audiences who care,” says Artistic Director and soloist for the concert Louise King. “Expect to be up close and personal as the audience will be seated close to the performers for this intimate concert. We love to meet people after the performance. Catherine and I met playing for the 4mbs luxury New Zealand Cruise Concerts Series in 2012. We discovered a shared joy in salon music and love playing to an appreciative audience. I am excited to bring this stunning nostalgic concert program CELLO BALLADE to Eudlo as part of the dreaming BIG series and on my birthday –what better way to celebrate it!”
