Our plan has been to bring the top notch players to Albury, but we also want to foster opportunities for local kids
- Helena Kernaghan
NSW Governor David Hurley will be the guest speaker at St Matthew’s Church, Albury, for the event, which will look towards the November festival.
Mezzo soprano Sally-Anne Russell, members of the Orpheus Piano Trio, organist James Flores and promising students Caleb Murray (cello) and Bailey Cardwell (piano) will be among the performers.
Festival artistic director Helena Kernaghan said the launch concert aimed to showcase the excellence on offer in chamber music.
“Our plan has been to bring the top notch players from Australia and international to Albury, but we also want to foster opportunities for local kids,” she said.
“So in the spirit of that, this year we’ve got for the launch a bit of everything.”
“We wanted to cover the cream of the crop from all the different levels.”
