The Omega Ensemble is a Sydney based chamber group led by their charismatic young Artistic Directors, Maria Raspopova (piano) and David Rowden (clarinet).
The ensemble formed 13 years ago and has a solid reputation and a dedicated, growing audience for their spirited and intelligent presentations of the chamber repertoire and their performances of new Australian works. 'Chamber music is the core of all good music-making: fine musicians sharing expressions of beauty, passion and reflection in close communication with one another and their audiences. It is a joy to participate both as performer or listener - so I am delighted to support the Omega Ensemble.'Ravel String Quartet in F major | Fauré Piano Trio in D minor
Arensky Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor | Mozart Trio in E flat major
The players will explore the intricate shadings of these four strong works in a performance ranging from playful and delicate to daring and robust.
Maria and David have brought together a hand-picked group of musical colleagues especially for these 4 pieces. This is a group of players whose passion and respect for the music will shine through in their performance. The space and clarity found in smaller ensemble works is a perfect platform for soaring musicianship - individually and as a team."Raspopova played with confidence and zest. She shone like gold... here is a pianist who could play anything."- Cut Common Magazine
