Dear <<First Name>>,

While we can’t run have our usual Virtuosi Series, we’re announcing a brand new initiative streamed to your home featuring professional South Australian musicians from July.

It’s called the the Afternoon Tea concert series and it starts on Wednesday 15 July at 2:30pm with Konstantin Shamray in a solo piano recital.

Next on 22 July is Simon Cobcroft with a solo cello recital and then Charlotte Kelso (mezzo-soprano) with Yundi Yuan (piano) on 29 July.

Each concert is approximately 1 hour long and will be followed by a short Q&A.

The Afternoon Tea concert series is an opportunity for Recitals Australia to provide paid performance opportunities for our professional musicians and continue to provide music through our new digital streaming platform.

View the concerts on our website homepage, Vimeo directly or via Facebook. If the stream is not starting or behaving oddly, please try an alternate link from above or refresh your browser window to give it a kick! Concerts will also be viewable at our website for a period of time after the live performance, so you can both check them out again at your leisure or share them with family and friends!

The concerts are free to watch online, but we'd love your support through a donation which will enable us to continue promoting musician opportunities and these kind of concerts into the future. Donations can be made online at https://recitalsaustralia.org.au/donate.

Detailed program information will be emailed one week ahead of the concert.

Please share this information with your friends.

with Yundi Yuan

The recital is based around love songs in their many forms. From newfound love, to lost love, to devotion and obsession, these songs explore how we express our strongest drives and desires. Music becomes not only the vehicle for declamations of love, but itself can communicate profound emotions that words alone cannot express.

Spring Lunch Hour Series

We also look forward to our Lunch Hour Series program recommencing for Spring on August 5 2020. Full program to be announced in the coming weeks.
