Selby & Friends Tour 1 – The Living Tradition

The 20th Season of Selby & Friends in its current format opens with a return of two special guests who wowed audiences two years ago – Alexandra Osborne and Clancy Newman.
This dynamic duo joins Kathy for a concert comprising two works that pay tribute to an earlier popular tune and two works that stand on their own as sublime examples of the early Romantic period composed shortly before their authors’ untimely deaths. The trio by Fanny Mendelssohn was requested numerous times by members of our audience along with the Schubert in our audience survey and whilst Beethoven’s cheeky late work has no connection to Australia’s great northern Kakadu National Park, we do open the season with a treat by our own Elena Kats-Chernin
