STREETON TRIO for Sunday Afternoon Jazz-Inspired Classical Treat

The STREETON TRIO 'jazz it up' at their upcoming edition of the popular Prelude in Tea Sunday afternoon concert series at the Independent Theatre in North Sydney.

Sydney couple violinist Emma Jardine and pianist Benjamin Kopp are joined in this concert by guest cellist, Blair Harris from Melbourne. Together they explore the works of composers who were inspired by Jazz in this fun collection of works from the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries.

The program features 'Joybox', a lively new commission by Harry Sdraulig, the much-loved 'Cafe Music ' by Paul Schoenfield, Fazil Say's effervescent 'Space Jump ' and the Haydn 'Gypsy Trio' which was written in 1795. The link to the "Jazz Inspiration" theme in the Haydn, written in 1795, is the 3rd movement
which is in the Hungarian style, very much the "pop" music of its time! These works are crowned by Maurice Ravel's blockbuster piano trio in A minor.

As always, the concert includes a delicious selection of cakes and refreshments in the price of a ticket.

'Australia's most internationally successful piano trio,' the Streeton Trio was formed in 2008, in Geneva, Switzerland,by three young Australian musicians. In 2010, the trio was selected to be a part of the prestigious European Chamber Music Academy, where it was in residence for three years. Winner of the 2011 Music Viva Chamber Music Competition, the Streeton Trio has been laureate of several prestigious
international competitions and in 2012, the trio was featured as Musica Viva's Rising Stars ensemble. The trio has released four CDs, to international acclaim, which are frequently featured on ABC FM and the MBS Networks.

Named after the Australian Impressionist painter, Sir Arthur Streeton, the trio has received great acclaim for performances in venues such as Wigmore Hall, Het Loo Royal Palace (Holland), Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre, Melbourne Recital Centre,
Trondheim Festival, Apeldoorn Festival, Pablo Casals Festival (Prades) and Bangalow Festival.Recent performances include appearances across the United Kingdom, China, Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Holland, Lithuania, Norway, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland.
