WELCOME FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
KATHRYN SELBY, AM
Thank you to the members of our extended Selby & Friends audience for being with us
through the 2020 Season, albeit mostly through the wonders of modern technology.
Creating our 2020 live-filmed concerts was a fascinating experience and I am grateful
for the opportunities they provided for staying connected to you whilst supporting
artists and our Australian arts community.
We are excited to return to our concert venues around Australia in 2021 and share
with you once again, in person, our love of music and its immense ability to excite, heal,
cheer, and inspire. Our 2021 Season is brimming with variety, complete with compelling
works by beloved masters and those whose works deserve wider recognition.
Compared to past seasons, circumstances are now quite different in this, our ‘new
normal’, with a great deal of thought put towards keeping artists and patrons safe.
We will be guided by government advice and regulations on venue capacity and social
distancing. We have already made some changes to the way in which we communicate
with you and also, as you will see, to our ticketing system.
My guest artists for 2021 are all well-known to you, representing some of the finest
musicians our beautiful country is lucky enough to have on our shores. Our spectacular
programs will introduce them to you again through the joys and intricacies of the piano
trio genre, its extraordinarily diverse appeal to a wide range of brilliant composers and
the supremely different style and approach with which they tackled its many delights
and challenges.
Selby & Friends’ focus now is to continue to bring you memorable musical experiences,
to foster emerging talents and to support our artists and our arts community as much
as we can. In this, our 15th Season, please join with us in moving forward as I warmly
welcome you back to live Selby & Friends concerts in 2021.

This delightful season opener presents a fascinating glimpse of how three important
composers of the first half of the 20th Century imagined the piano trio in these
powerful ‘miniatures’. All composed within 19 years of each other and from vastly
different European cultures, they contrast and complement the highly developed
piano trio structure produced by Schubert 100 years earlier, at the end of the
Classical Era and on the cusp of the Romantic. Natsuko and Julian join Kathy for the
first time together in this program filled with pathos, song and passion.

Edwards has with the sea and earth of this great land. One of Spain’s great composers
follows with a highly expressive, Neo-Romantic and refined work that embodies
the composer’s Spanish roots with dance and salon music, hints of the gypsy and
the Moor and its many folkloric elements. The beauty and power of Dvořák’s style
exemplifies his fervent nationalist stance in the face of pressure from the prevalent
German tradition, bringing to a close this powerful program whose flavours are
brought vividly to life by three of Australia’s most iconic performers.

strong rebuttal and when four years later in 1896, her own work was premiered by the Boston
Symphony, she became known as the dean of American women composers and a national
symbol of women’s creative power . Englishwoman Dame Ethel Smyth, somewhat marginalized
for being a ‘woman’ composer, was nonetheless a powerful force, encouraged by both Dvořák
and Brahms and known to Clara Schumann. She was also a vigorous member of the suffragette
movement. Often regarded as one of France’s greatest composers, Ravel also went against
the establishment and chose his own path in composition, fusing modern elements with the
baroque, classicism and jazz. Bringing together three of Australia’s powerhouse artists, this
program represents a perfect synergy. Timo-Veikko Valve, Cello

portrait of the composer riding her favourite horse through a deep Bolivian valley.
A Grammy award-winning American composer, Towers’ work is highly evocative,
grounded in a love of the natural world. Given his famous long walks and love of
nature, it seemed only right to include Brahms’ massive youthful, then much later
reworked, B major Trio in the program along with the emotionally driven, very late
Mendelssohn Trio as they both resonate with imagery, passion, humour, song and a
shared love of the natural world. Susie and Umberto work together for the first time
with Kathy in this exhilarating program of ‘big works’ for piano trio.

Highly intellectual, cultured and a formidable force in the musical life of Berlin,
Fanny was also confidante and best friend to her brother Felix who passed away
within months of her own untimely death. Book-ending the season with Schubert’s
second great final piano trio, this program, which brings together two of Australia’s
most gifted musicians of the younger generation with Kathy, is truly an exploration
of youth, song and yearning. It is a fitting close to our dazzling exploration of the
piano trio repertoire this season.
