Blackheath Chamber Music Festival: Concert 4 Labyrinth

Clarinettist Lloyd Van’t Hoff joins the dynamic Chroma Quartet for this intimate program that spans fiery contemporary energy and deep Romantic expression. Each work inhabits an intensely personal emotional world. Johannes Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet unfolds like a meditation through memory and resignation, circling back on itself in its final pages. And Holly Harrison’s Spitfire propels us into something restless, and searching energy that twists, turns, and refuses a straight path. Leoš Janáček’s String Quartet No. 2, Intimate Letters is famously bound to his obsessive correspondence: a maze of longing, volatility and confession.

Blackheath Chamber Music Festival brings exquisite and unusual classical music concerts to Blackheath, for the upper Blue Mountains region, over a three-day weekend—introducing exceptional Australian musicians who frequently perform in major Concert Halls around the world. Experience superb concerts in the beautiful village of Blackheath over the Anzac Day weekend, as the autumn foliage is at its stunning best.
