Adelaide Festival presents

An Ancient Song

Poème: Chamber Landscapes

Ancient themes, as interpreted for flute by the composers Debussy and Jolivet along with a song of motherhood by Outi Tarkiainen, open the series. The concert ends with a thrilling display by gifted virtuosi in Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence, a work inspired by surroundings of breathtaking beauty, fitting for a festival inspired by the gardens of UKARIA and its views of rolling hills beyond.
