A pianist who The New Yorker described as “New York's queen of avant-garde piano”, Lisa Moore has performed with the London Sinfonietta, Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Sydney, Canberra and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras to name just a few, and has played under the baton of luminaries like Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, David Robertson and Edo de Waart. She's appeared in venues from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, and been part of over 30 albums. Lisa has made her career performing music of living composers.

Since recording this interview, Lisa is happy to announce the release in early 2025 of the new album from Crux Duo, a collaboration between herself and clarinettist Lloyd Van't Hoff. Called My Place, it's a compilation of modern Australian and American works written and arranged especially for them, including by Elena Kats-Chernin, Erik Griswold, Nick Russoniello, Harriet Steinke, and Martin Bresnick, and will be released on the ABC Classics label. Lisa and Lloyd will perform a concert launching the album at the Goethe Institute, as part of the Goethe Lounge Series, at 6pm on Wednesday 22 January 2025.

A  global artist who has enjoyed chart-topping success, international tours, and celebrated collaborations, violinist Vov Dylan enjoys taking audiences to a place where the classical meets the contemporary, coalescing with world music and jazz.   He's premiered works by some of this country's finest composers, including Elena Kats-Chernin, Margaret Brandman and Ann Carr-Boyd. He has two new albums coming soon – Elevation, featuring the works of those composers as well as Stuart Greenaum, Ross Edwards and others, plus La Vida Apasionada, an album of works by Margaret Brandman. Vov talks about his life as a working musician – from serenading in biker bars through to introducing international audiences to Australian works, plus how a couple of bottles of Bollinger may well have been the deciding factor for a career in music!

One of Australia's most notable and well-loved composers, Elena Kats-Chernin has written for ensembles large and small – from operas and piano concertos to the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Her work is a mainstay of performers at home and internationally, and the number of recordings of her works are countless. Not resting on her laurels, she's created a new arrangement of her Ornamental Air for Basset Clarinet, which is to be performed by David Rowden and the Omega Ensemble as part of their upcoming tour Re: Classica. She is also an artistic patron of 2MBS Fine Music Sydney. In her always engaging and infectiously positive manner, Elena takes us on a deep dive into her background and how she brings her compositions to life. Her Clarinet Concerto Ornamental Air (new version) will be performed by David Rowden and the Omega Ensemble in Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle and Penrith between the 12th and 20th of April.

Carlos Iribarren | El repertorio de piezas para piano es prácticamente infinito y nos encanta bucear en busca de joyas para compartirlas con todos vosotros. 2 piezas de Felix Mendelssohn y Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach marcan los límites de un programa en el que también suenan obras de autores mucho menos conocidos como José Rolón, Vladimir Rebikov, Edward MacDowell, Elena Kats-Chernin o Mel Bonis. Carlos y Mario Mora conversan sobre las sensaciones que les producen las diferentes piezas y comentan curiosidades sobre los autores e intérpretes protagonistas en esta nueva entrega de Hoy Toca, el programa de Clásica FM que te quiere sorprender.

Angèle Dubeau and La Pietà — Elle (Analekta) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Angèle Dubeau by “After 25 years of playing together, we can recognize the sound, color, texture and characterization of La Pietà very well, but I'm looking for that extra sparkle I call energy,” violinist Angèle Dubeau said about the passion each member has brought to this all-female ensemble over the years to include its new release, Elle. When Dubeau formed La Pietà in 1997, her goal was simply to assemble a dozen musicians for a new Vivaldi recording. When she realized all the musicians were women, she named the ensemble after the orphanage for girls where Vivaldi taught in Venice, La Pietà. Is there more to the record's title? “Yeah, it's ‘she,' or ‘elle,' in the singular, because I thought that each woman is unique. That's a little detail, and this album marks the 25th anniversary of La Pietà. I wanted to have an album conceived, played and composed all by women. It makes me proud to be a woman when I listen to this album.  “All women on the album, except one, are contemporary composers. The exception is Hildegard von Bingen, because I thought if we have wonderful composers of today why not showcase one of the first composers of the 12th century?” Can you tell me about the commissioned work and who composed it? “That's Ana Sokolović. I asked her to write a suite of movements. She decided to do a suite of dances called Girandole des Danses imaginaires. Each movement is a different dance and tells a unique story. “There's also another work composed for the album from Katia Makdissi-Warren; she's also from Montreal. It's called, Mémoire, and it's from an Inuit tradition that has been handed down from mother to daughter.” Tell me about Elena Kats-Chernin's ‘Re-Inventions.' “It's a piece that she first wrote for recorder and strings. Now it's for violin and strings. It's just a small re-orchestration of the piece. The work is based on a two-part invention by Bach. It's bubbly and really fun.” What has surprised you the most about what you and this ensemble have achieved? “What makes me most proud is to know that our music accompanies people while they endure daily life, whether it's happy or sad, or small or great moments.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Australian soprano Julie Lea Goodwin has been one of our busiest singers since she joined Opera Australia in 2015. Last year alone, she performed an extraordinary range of roles: Maria in West Side Story on Sydney Harbour, Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, Musetta in La Bohème, and Madame Cortese in Il Viaggio a Reims. She also impressively created the role of Wendy Whiteley in the world premiere of Elena Kats-Chernin's opera, Whiteley. In this interview with our Artistic Director, Lyndon Terracini, Julie Lea talks about handling such diverse repertoire, making her way to opera via musical theatre, and what attracts her to certain roles. She also offers a special preview of The Merry Widow, which she'll be starring in at the Sydney Opera House in January 2021.

Elena Kats-Chernin is one of Australia’s most successful and prolific composers, working across opera, concert music, ballet and film. She even composed our first opera for television, The Divorce, which aired on ABC TV across four episodes in 2015. Most recently, she won rave reviews for the score of Whiteley, our 2019 opera about the life and work of Australian painter Brett Whiteley. Kats-Chernin was born in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan (at the time part of the Soviet Union) and studied in Moscow before moving to Australia in 1975. She studied piano and composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Soon after graduating, she moved to Europe where she worked in some of the world’s most innovative theatres, before returning to Australia in 1994. Since then, she’s composed for many of Australia’s leading orchestras, including the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and for the opening ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. In this interview with our Artistic Director, Lyndon Terracini, Kats-Chernin talks about her composition process, the advantages and disadvantages of being born with perfect pitch, and how the world of theatre and her many collaborations keep her inspired.

Grenzen kennt sie nicht, weder im geografischen noch im stilistischen Sinn - die in Taschkent geborene Elena Kats-Chernin entwickelte sich früh zur Kosmopolitin: Von Usbekistan erst nach Russland, dann nach Deutschland, zuletzt nach Australien. So vielseitig die Biografie, so facettenreich das Werk: Groß angelegte Opern und Ballette stehen neben intimer Kammermusik, Folkloristisches und artifizielle Kunstmusik treffen auf Klezmer, Tango oder Ragtime auf. Eine fantasievolle Allrounderin im Gespräch.

Despite an old-school classical education in the Soviet Union, where she grew up before emigrating to Australia as a teen, composer Elena Kats-Chernin is anything but tradition-bound. Her influences run the gamut from ragtime to nuevo tango to minimalism and pop. Her work is powerfully evocative and unabashedly listenable. Elena says for her, “music is a living thing.” She writes daily, and a lot of her own life inevitably makes its way into her compositions. In this interview, we listened to some exquisite tunes and dug deep into the sources of her music, including the very personal story behind some of her most affecting works.
