Wednesday Lunchtime Concert: Creatures and Landscapes

Creatures and Landscapes

The Wesley Lunchtime concert series presents the delightful and talented Irish pianist Daniel Kearney, who is currently visiting Australia. His concert will explore the unique and creative ways in which composers have used music and the piano to describe nature’s sights and sounds.

Utilizing the perspectives of many different genres including baroque, romanticism, impressionism and folk music, the performer and listener will journey together through time and place. A swan on a French river, a Russian lark, a volcano overlooking the sea in Indonesia, chattering monkeys beside a lake, the soft glow of twilight. These pieces and many more will invite the listener to let their imagination run wild and to enjoy the genius effects, harmonies and rhythms that the composers have used to bring nature to life through music.
