Notturno: An dem Fluss (by the river)

  • Glebe Town Hall 160 Saint Johns Road Glebe, NSW, 2037 Australia (map)

Notturno presents their first program in 2024 - An dem Fluss (by the river) - at the lovely Glebe Town Hall.

Taking a cue from the primary work in this program, the Grand Trio pour Guitare, Flûte et Alto by Jospeh Kreutzer, Notturno look to presenting works from composers that lived and worked by Germany’s greatest river system, the Rhein and the Main.

Kreutzer lived most of his professional life in Düsseldorf, Beethoven was naturally the famous son of Bonn, Scheidler was employed in Mainz, but was forced to flee to Frankfurt when Mainz was laid under siege, and Küffner never seemed to escape his work at the provincial centre of Würzburg.

Apart from Beethoven, all these performer composers have escaped the attention of the modern music world, and it’s our great pleasure to bring them to you for an evening concert.
