Sounded Beautiful in Bathurst, and will be Outstanding in Orange and Delightful in Dubbo

A poignant moment from Tchaikovsky's wonderful Souvenir de Florence to be performed by Ensemble Six  on Saturday 21st July, at Orange Regional Conservatorium in Hill St at 7.30 PM and in the Macquarie Conservatorium concert hall in Bultje St, Dubbo on Sunday, 22nd July at 3 PM.


Tchaikovsky wrote such a lot of great music, but was often plagued by self-doubt while composing them. That's how he felt while writing this piece, yet it has become one of his most popular works. He found it challenging writing for six string players, instead of the usual four, and decided to write the work as if it were for an orchestra, but only score it for six players. He later rescored it for string orchestra, and a friend also wrote an arrangement for piano duet.


Ensemble Six is a group of Central West musicians, consisting of Doreen Cumming and Alina Zborowski, violins, Nicholas Newell and Fiona Thompson, violas, and Claudia Douglas and Katherine Moses, cellos.


The performance on Saturday 14th July at Mitchell Conservatorium in Bathurst was superb. Most of the performers have some solo parts to play, which showcase their musicality beautifully.
