Adelaide Festival presents

Music for a Summer Evening

Poème: Chamber Landscapes

The final concert embraces the summer evening at UKARIA and celebrates the recently deceased American visionary George Crumb. The weekend began with flute references to the music of ancient masters. In the festival’s concluding performance, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a plausible heir of Orpheus, is introduced through a work also featuring the instrument. Kitty Xiao, a modern musical wizard, opens a door on her ability to imagine the unimaginable in music.
