Acclaimed cellist Zoe Knighton, of Flinders Quartet, will present a benefit concert this month to support Resonance String Orchestra’s vital community music education and performance work in Macedon Ranges and Mount Alexander Shires.
All proceeds will go towards Resonance’s work in empowering regional communities to make great music.
Zoe will perform Charlie Mackesy’s The boy the mole the fox and the horse with movements by Bach.
“Charlie Mackesy’s story about a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse gives us life lessons in a way that can relate to all generations,” Zoe said.
“Every time I play Bach, I have new insights into the ‘human condition’ and find it fascinating that the notes he wrote 250 years ago still seem so contemporary today. Bach and Mackey’s profundity make for a natural pairing, each adding layers of emotion to the other.”
Also on the program is Bach: Largo and Allegro Assai from Sonata No 3 In C Major by Resonance student Thomasina Challender.
Resonance String Orchestra will perform Andante Festivo by Sibelius and Polska from Dorotea, a Swedish traditional arrangement by the Danish String Quartet, rearranged in bespoke trademark arrangements for Resonance String Orchestra by co artistic director Emma Wade.
Castlemaine Anglican Church, 8 Mostyn Street, on Saturday, September 21, at 3pm.
