GOETHE & SCHUBERT
The connection between Goethe & Schubert is an obvious one, with Schubert’s
settings remaining among the most remarkable musical interpretations of the
poetic genius. It is reported that Goethe did not necessarily appreciate
Schubert’s creative intrusions into what he considered to be completed works
that did not require musical setting.
THE ARTISTS
A/Professor Michael Halliwell—a
baritone and scholar with an interest in
the relationship between words and music—has translated and published works on the music and
poetry of Shakespeare, James, Patrick White and others.
He will be able to enlighten us further on this complex relationship.
Dr Jeanell Carrigan
is Lecturer in Ensemble Studies at the Sydney
Conservatorium and a sought-after ensemble pianist. She was awarded a Doctorate
of Philosophy from the University of Wollongong and has authored an annotated
guide to Australian post-1970 solo piano works, the only such guide in
existence.
Jeanell has recorded a number of CDs performing
piano works by the Australian composer, Phillip Wilcher.
