Chamber Music in Adelaide

Coriole Music Festival

The Coriole Music Festival comprises 3 chamber concerts held over one weekend in the Barrel Shed at Coriole Vineyards – an informal and delightful setting with a wonderful acoustic for chamber and vocal music. Each year’s festival explores music of a different period or region of the world. The 2010 festival will focus on instrumental music of JS Bach, the development of Beethoven’s writing for string quartet, and French music for flute and harp. Performers include the Goldner Quartet, Geoffrey Collins (flute), Alice Giles (harp), Ian Munro (pianist and composer), Julian Smiles (cello), and Dean Newcomb (clarinet). After each concert, the musicians and audience have the opportunity to get to know each other over Coriole wines and a delicious meal prepared by Tina Llewellyn of the “Rolling Pin”.
