PERFORMANCE: UWA Music presents The Irwin Street Collective: MAGNIFICENT FORTEPIANO

Led by internationally acclaimed performers and academics Cecilia Sun, Sara Macliver and Shaun Lee-Chen, the Irwin Street Collective is committed to daring and novel approaches to the playing, teaching, and researching historically informed performance practices.

The Viennese fortepiano came into its own by the end of the 18th century not only on the concert stage, but also as a key chamber instrument. Cecilia Sun will be joined by students Jude Holland and Andy Li to perform Mozart’s virtuosic Sonata in D Major K. 488 for two pianos in a rare presentation on two period instruments. Also on the program, Honours student Rachael Liu and recent honours graduate Gabrielle Scheggia will sing some gems from the rich song repertoire, including works by Mozart, Schubert, Clara Schumann, and Haydn’s dramatic cantata Arianna a Naxos.
