Five of Adelaide’s finest musicians and Elder Conservatorium Faculty – Lucinda Collins (piano), Anna Goldsworthy (piano), Konstantin Shamray (piano), Elizabeth Layton (violin) and Lloyd Van’t Hoff (clarinet) – begin our Daylight Express journey here in Australia, home to some of the world’s most ravishing landscapes and an incredible array of birdlife. The first half of this program takes inspiration from the birdsong and striking vistas of this country with works from Peter Sculthorpe, Nick Russoniello and Ross Edwards. These homegrown soundscapes are juxtaposed with Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, performed in the rarely heard version for two pianos.
