Bernadette Robinson's acclaimed performances in multiple sell-out seasons of the one-woman musical plays Songs For Nobodies and Pennsylvania Avenue have confirmed her standing as one of Australia's leading singer/actresses.Audiences and critics alike loved both shows: “The audience is on its feet with a standing ovation” (The Age), “Bernadette Robinson's performance is theatrical alchemy” (Herald Sun), “Beyond virtuosity to the sublime” (The Australian).  After he saw Songs For Nobodies for the second time, Barry Humphries announced that “Bernadette is a major talent and a spellbinder”. Like Humphries, Australia's general theatre-going public had discovered Bernadette's virtuosic acting skills and her uncanny ability to inhabit the voices of famous singers such as Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and many others.Bernadette played the role of Beatrice in Nick Enright and Terry Clarke's The Venetian Twins, and has appeared in lead roles with Chamber Made Opera and Wellington City Opera. She is a familiar figure on Australian concert stages, having given sell out concerts at the Sydney Opera House, Adelaide Festival Centre, the Melbourne Recital Centre and its neighbour, Hamer Hall, and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.Bernadette studied voice with the legendary Dame Joan Hammond at the Victorian College Of The Arts before embarking on her professional career in productions of The Pirates of Penzance, Nine and Cats. She presented her earlier solo shows You Might As Well Live, Calling All Angels and Patsy Cline: Her Songs, Her Story around Australia to critical and audience acclaim.In addition to her one-woman shows, Bernadette has had great success performing at high profile events for large corporates across Australia and (singing in English and in local languages) in Tokyo, Beijing (during the 2008 Olympic Games), Shanghai (during the 2010 World Expo), Hong Kong, Macau, Buenos Aires, Singapore, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto.Following the success of her previous, sold-out one-woman shows, Bernadette Robinson is returning to Australian stages with the World Premiere of her post-pandemic solo tour-de-force, DIVAS.It was STAGES great pleasure to catch up with this consummate artist following a week of rehearsals, nearing her to Opening night.  The STAGES podcast is available to access and subscribe from Spotify and Apple podcasts.

Welcome to Classical Uncovered – a podcast designed to demystify corners of the classical music world. All areas of human endeavor have their special terms which are normal and natural to those in the know. But for those unfamiliar with that language, it can appear strange or even alienating. Classical music is no different. Over 10 episodes, classical music expert Graham Abbott breaks down the concepts and terms used in classical music, with the aim of helping you better understand and enjoy your music experiences. The term ‘chamber music' can be a barrier for some. In this episode, Graham dives into the descriptive terms used in chamber music, and hopefully removes some of those linguistic barriers. In doing so, he gets right to the core of a lot of the music presented at Melbourne Recital Centre.

Now in its 10th season, Melbourne Recital Centre's Great Performers series presents great artists giving extraordinary performances of compelling classical, bold and cutting-edge repertoire in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall.

In their upcoming concert on Wednesday 7 July, classical luminaries David Greco and Erin Helyard perform their ARIA-nominated interpretation of Die schöne Müllerin (The Maid of the Mill). In Die schöne Müllerin, we meet a young man with thoughts of love. Just one glimpse of the miller's daughter at the window and he's smitten, but in vain, for she loves another. The song cycle is loved for its breathtaking complexity, intense originality and the rich melodies that carved Schubert's reputation as a genius of the lieder genre. Greco and Helyard's Müllerin brings fresh insight into Schubert's masterpiece while retaining the beauty that has made it so iconic.

Kym Dillon is an emerging composer, arranger, orchestrator, pianist and conductor, who is currently based in Melbourne and Geelong. Starting out his career as a jazz pianist, his interest soon turned to composition, and his work now regularly spans multiple genres and areas of musical practice. Kym has had original works commissioned by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Astra Chamber Music Society, and Musica Viva; his music has been performed in Canada, the U.K., North America, Canada, Romania and Italy. His work is often inspired by reflections on the nature of imagination and creation — what it means to create and what our creative compulsion says about us. In 2017, Kym was commissioned by St Paul’s Lutheran Church Box Hill to compose a cantata for chamber orchestra, choir and soloists to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran reformation, with the work being given a repeat performance the following year. 2019 saw Kym collaborate with BK Opera to transform the intense orchestral score of Béla Bartók’s opera Bluebeard’s Castle into the style of synthesiser-laden '80s electronica. Kym is also a conductor for the charity Creativity Australia’s With One Voice program, which seeks to connect people from different walks of life through community singing. As part of this role, he conducts three choirs (Geelong, Altona Meadows and Ashburton), having led peformances at Melbourne Town Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, and the Monash Carols by Candlelight at Jells Park.

Welcome to episode one of The Tune Up podcast with hosts Maxim Boon and Megan Steller! In this episode, Maxim and Megan chat with oboist, collaborator, artistic director and one half of Inventi Ensemble, Ben Opie. Plus, an audio experiment that explores the art and etiquette of opening a cough lolly wrapper in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall featuring usher and percussionist of Ossicle Duo, Hamish Upton. About Ben Opie: Two types of people walk the alleys of Melbourne’s wildly eclectic arts scene: those who argue classical music is a static art form, and those who know the work of Ben Opie. Tackling mind-blowing innovation with the class and sensitivity of a veteran, Ben is a young oboist of matchless capacity performing at the cutting edge of classical music’s fresh-faced evolution. With a big emphasis on innovation and meaningful collaborations, Ben’s approach has the power to keep classical music connected and relevant to its audience. He does this not only in his performing career but also in his new role as Artistic Director of the Peninsula Summer Music Festival.

A rare up-close and personal discussion with banjoists Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn Banjoists Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn have mastered the deceptively intricate art of the duet. Their performances embrace a diversity almost unthinkable – coming from just two banjos and one voice. Fleck, a 15-time Grammy winner, has collaborated with Chick Corea, Oumou Sangare, Zakir Hussain, Edgar Meyer, Dave Mathews, Earl Scruggs, and the entire Cleveland Orchestra for his Banjo Concert ‘The Impostor’. Washburn’s banjo has taken her far beyond the usual old-timey comfort zone, musically and geographically. An alumnus of Uncle Earl, the powerhouse all-female string-band, Abby’s adopted second homeland is China, and her music resounds with echoes of Appalachia and the tidal wave of emerging Chinese cultural influence. Together, Fleck and Washburn employ the relatively rare 3-finger and claw hammer banjo duet to create an explosion of musical white heat. Melbourne Recital Centre presents the opportunity for a rare up-close and personal discussion with banjoists Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn, moderated by Melbourne’s own banjoist and singer/songwriter Sal Kimber. These artists will share insights into their creative processes, musings on their long careers – and treat us to a few songs along the way. This is a unique opportunity for an intimate audience to participate in the creative conversation and learn from these remarkable musicians.
