Coolum flautists Sharelle Guest and her daughter Jazzi will be featured when the Pacific Chamber Players present the second in their concert series for 2022 at Palmwoods and Cooroy next month.
Since 2001, The Players have been bringing quality classical music to the Sunshine Coast. Sharelle has been performing with it since 2005 and the group is thrilled to be able now to include the talented Jazzi. The duo will play François Doppler’s Andante and Rondo Op 25.
The Players include Sue Hunkin (oboe), Christy Dykes (clarinet), Neil Heymink (bassoon) and Janet Brewer (piano) and will present music from the Romantic Period–1820 to 1900.
They will perform works for woodwind and piano by French, German, and English composers such as Caprice Op 79 and Bassoon Sonata by Saint-Saëns, Schumann’s highly expressive Romances Op 94 for clarinet and Elgar’s very English Six Promenades.
Called Romantic Illusions, the concert will be held from 2.30pm Sunday, May 8, at Palmwoods Memorial Hall and Sunday 2.30pm, May 15. at Cooroy Memorial Hall.
Both concerts will be preceded by an informative talk by former ABC presenter Nancy Tow at 2pm.
Tickets are $30 adult, $28 concession and $10 school student and are available online at pacificchamberplayers.com or for cash at the door.
