Reveries, romance & rousing romps abound in Coastal Cadenzas

Soprano, Judith Molnar

Are you partial to Puccini, or a mix of Mozart, Bizet and Gershwin? Then a concert of light classics in the new chamber music series Coastal Cadenzas is for you.

A lonely shepherd hears his echo amongst the ravines. Tove kisses roses to death in Castle Gurre. Clara sings the blues in Catfish Row. Love knows no law, and Musetta knows no shame! The livin’ is easy but the singin’ ain’t and it’s coming soon to Noosaville and Caloundra

Luckily for us, Queensland’s most delightful diva Judit Molnar is in town for an afternoon concert with her friends Sacha Gibbs-McPhee on clarinet and Janet Brewer on piano.

Joyful and profound works by Mozart, Schubert, and Weber are paired with light classics from Puccini, Bizet, and Gershwin by your local musical sommeliers at Coastal Cadenzas.

Schubert’s “Shepherd on the Rock”, Bizet’s “Habanera” and Gershwin’s “Summertime” will certainly delight the most discerning listener. As will Spohr’s Six German Lieder, and an aria from Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito.

The performances are 3.00pm Sunday 23 June at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Hall, Noosaville and Sunday 7 July at CCSA Hall, 1 Nutley Street, Caloundra.

Tickets are available online at www.sachagibbsmcphee.com/performances or cash at the door. Adults $40 / Concessions $35.

This is the second concert by Sacha’s ensemble Coastal Cadenzas following the extremely popular inaugural concerts in February with QSO leader Warwick Adeney.
