Welcome to Mitchell Conservatorium’sMajor Events for 2014.

As the incoming Executive Director,I’m thrilled to be presenting this exciting program to you, the Mitchell community.The following pages demonstrate therichness of relationships we have developed, and the appreciation that these internationally renowned performers feel for your support in the past.

From the youthful exuberance of the amazing Daniel De Borah, through to the experienced mastery of Yvonne Kenny AM, and a generous serving of artistic wisdom from the inimitable Richard Gill OAM, this program is one that any presenter across the country would be proud of.

We are always thrilled to see Simon Tedeschi back in the region, the Alturas’ approach to Latin rhythms is ever-inspiring, and the always stunning, always surprising, Jane Rutter guarantees to delight music lovers of all ages.

Virtuosi in their own fields - Nick Parnell,Paul Meyer and Andrew Robson will stun you, whether you’ve seen them before, or this is your first time; and Sydney’s Omega Ensemble, led by David Rowden, will show why they’ve been described as ‘the exciting new force in chamber music’ (SMH, 2006)

It’s going to be an exciting ride, so settle inand join us for what will be a memorable year.

Music’s greatest ‘hits’ re-imagined by

one of the world’s foremost vibraphone

players and his mallets of steel.

Nick Parnell makes old music new again,

injecting energy into repertoire that

might be familiar to some, but definitely

inspirational to all, as evidenced with

his latest album release, Vibes Virtuoso.

Favourites from classic repertoire,

including Gershwin’s Summertime, are

re-interpreted for a vibrant listening

experience – from the technically

challenging to sheer lyrical beauty in the

space of a heartbeat.

Guest Pianist – Michael Ierace (winner of

the 2008 Royal Over-Seas League Music

Competition)
