Described by Limelight magazine as a ‘national treasure’, Ensemble Liaison is one of Australia’s leading internationally acclaimed ensembles.

The program includes Brahms’s late masterpiece the Trio op.114, a work that brought the composer out of retirement to reflect back on a long life with both strength and resignation.

Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess is a love story against all odds and became a symbol of American culture. The hope for a better future despite the cruel evidence of experience is a strong message that shines through. Arranged by Ensemble Liaison, this Concert Fantasy contains all the great tunes from the Opera and a multitude of interactive virtuosic and fun passages for all the musicians.

Argentinian Astor Piazzolla reflects on the people of Buenos Aires and gives his impressions of the seasons though the lens of the Tango, a dance that in essence is all about being in the moment, relationship and love.

To conclude Timothy Young has written a new trio entitled, Distant Waters, based on a theme of questionable significance. Are you curious? - then come along to find out more.
