Beethoven gems

Fragments Ensemble is bringing its signature quality live chamber music to the Sunshine Coast. Leading the ensemble is internationally recognised soprano Judit Molnar. She will be joined by Frank Fodor (violin and viola), Nathan Smith (cello) and Janet Brewer (piano), all highly esteemed instrumentalists.

To celebrate Beethoven’s 250th anniversary this all-Beethoven programme will include selected Lieder accompanied by piano or piano trio, including “O wär ich schon mit dir vereint” from Fidelio, the delightful “Romance” for viola and piano, the devilish Twelve Variations on Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus” for cello and piano and the fantastic Gassenhauer Piano Trio Op. 11.

What better way for this ensemble to hold its premier performances but in the revamped Cooroy Memorial Hall with the newly restored and donated Petrov piano. The performers are looking forward to supporting and contributing to this vital Cooroy community.

Concerts will be held 2 and 4pm Saturday 19 September at Cooroy Memorial Hall. Ticket prices are $28 adult and $25 concessions. Reservations are very highly recommended. To book seats please visit www.fragmentsensemble.com/ For further information phone 0417 789 164.
