Classical symphonies at Pearl Beach on long weekend

Pearl Beach residents will have the opportunity to listen to some classic symphonies over the June long weekend when the Pearl Beach Progress Association presents the Long Weekend Music Festival.

Held at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall from June 11-12, the Festival will offer two days of music in an intimate setting.

Opening the Festival on Saturday afternoon will be Estivo Trio, three talented young musicians of talent and passion, who will play pieces by Mozart, Rachmaninov and Mendelssohn.

Australian concert pianist and chamber musician Tamara-Anna Cislowska will perform on the Saturday evening with pieces by Bach, Haydn, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, and Rachmaninov.

Sunday afternoon will see the The Song Company, an acapella ensemble of six who will perform vocal chamber music from Monteverdi, Gombert and Mundy.

The finale concert on Sunday evening features Classical to Coltrane, a string quartet featuring the talents of Peter Garrity, Ziva Altman, Leo Kram and Francis Yoon, and jazz trio Rodric White, John Conley and Raphael Strazz.

The concert opens with Haydn's Sunrise string quartet, followed by some Mancini-like arrangements including well known movie themes, Bach's adagio Arioso and Albinoni's Adagio.
