Sprightly and soulful 18th Century Chamber Works.
Christ Church Concerts will host a significant musical collaboration as leading early music specialists unite for "Hop, skip and jump!". This afternoon performance traces a
millennium of Western musical tradition through the lens of the recorder, featuring the "sprightly and soulful" 18th-century chamber works of Telemann, Albinoni, Boismortier, and Schickhardt. While the concert specifically celebrates these Baroque masters, the performers bring a vast historical scope to the stage that reflects a thousand years of repertoire, ranging from Ruth Wilkinson’s expertise in Medieval music and the complex ars subtilier to Rodney Waterman’s pioneering recordings of 16th-century Venetian Renaissance ricercate.
The quintet—comprised of Kamala Bain, Ruth Wilkinson, Rodney Waterman, Nicholas Dinopoulos, and Ann Morgan—brings a distinguished collective pedigree to the program. Their
shared achievements span the globe, with members having appeared with prestigious ensembles such as the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Pinchgut Opera, and the Akademie für Alte Musik Bruneck, as well as touring extensively for Musica Viva. Beyond the concert hall, they have collectively shaped the field of early music through landmark recordings for ECM Records and the ABC, and through leadership roles at the University of Melbourne, the NZ School of Music, and the Conservatorium
van Amsterdam.
This performance offers an unmissable
opportunity to hear these world-class musicians explore the various instrumental combinations this specialised program affords.
