Brisbane Baroque is honoured to present the exclusive Australian concert debut of the internationally renowned American virtuoso mezzo soprano Vivica Genaux.

Our tripartite celebration of the music of Antonio Vivaldi begins with a Gala Concert featuring Brisbane's Camerata of St John's and the first Australian concert appearance of the magnificent American mezzo soprano Vivica Genaux.

Famed not only for the beauty of her voice and extraordinary technique but also for her vibrant character portrayals, Genaux is consistently lauded as one of the pre-eminent interpreters of baroque and bel canto music. She has appeared with some of the most famous early music ensembles in the world including Europa Galante under Fabio Biondi, Le Concert Spirituel with Herve Niquet, with Christophe Rousset's famed Les Talens Lyriques and Rene Jacob's Akademie für Alte Musik in Berlin.

Making a welcome return to the QPAC Concert Hall after their sensational major debut there last year, is Brisbane's youthful Camerata of St John's under the direction of Brendan Joyce, and with the acclaimed Erin Helyard on harpsichord. Their appearance in the QPAC Concert Hall in the inaugural Brisbane Baroque last year caused a sensation.

The program comprises some of Vivaldi's most exuberant virtuoso arias and a selection from his set of twelve concertos known as La Stravaganza, works that some connoisseurs prefer to his better known Four Seasons.
