AUSTRIAN composer Franz Schubert died at the age of 31 at a time when he should have been at his most productive. He left a symphony incomplete, his famous Unfinished Symphony in B Minor. Schubert was, however, best known for his songs (lieder) and chamber music of which he left the world a treasure trove of work.
Somers Chamber Music Society will celebrate the composer’s work with a concert at St John’s Anglican Church, King Street, Flinders on the afternoon of Sunday 5 May. The society’s Homage to Franz Schubert concert features Susan Pierotti, violin, Zoe Knighton, cello and Brian Chapman, piano.
The trio will play:
- Sonatina in G minor for Violin and Piano, D.408.
- Arpeggione Sonata in A minor for Cello and Piano, D.821.
- Trio No. 2 in E flat major for Piano, Violin and Cello, D.929.
There will be an interval between the second and third works. Tickets are $55 and include post-concert refreshments. Bookings: trybooking.com/CPSUV or call the society’s secretary Roger Price on 0403 592 195.
Somers Chamber Music Society has been bringing top-class classical music to the peninsula for more than 30 years.
