DENE OLDING

2016 has been a busy time as always for the Goldner String Quartet. It seems that the world is accelerating at a faster rate every year, and now and then I feel it necessary to take a moment to reflect on the important things in life and admire the beauty that exists around us.Music embodies great beauty, a quality that inspires the deep love of musicians. It can be a semi-religious experience to perform great musical works, when time seems suspended. In my opinion, a great piece of music, characterised by such a suspension of time, can be considered a worthy contribution to the musical canon.Surroundings are a large influence on a performing musician. In a weekend such as Music in the Hunter, many works must be practised, rehearsed and performed in a short space of time. This pressure can be ameliorated by the peace and tranquility of the countryside and the conviviality of colleagues and audience members.We are very pleased to welcome back James Crabb, who thrilled us in the past with his virtuosity, musicianship and exploration of his chosen instrument’s possibilities. We also welcome newcomers to this festival: Genevieve Lacey, an outstanding recorder virtuoso and all round wonderful person; Neal Peres Da Costa, a harpsichordist in much demand around Australia and staff member of the Sydney Conservatorium, and Kirsty McCahon, exuberant performer on the double bass, who will add another dimension to our mini baroque orchestra. Ken Healey, our renowned resident musical expert, will entertain and enlighten us with his pre-concert talks. As always, the Goldners will be in residence at the festival we often consider our home base. We have appeared at every Music in the Hunter Festival and our year would not feel complete without this annual event in our calendar. Our quartet has just recorded the ninth CD in the UK for the Hyperion label and completed multiple appearances at the Australian Festival of Chamber Music. Later this year, we will appear as soloists with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, perform at the Huntington Festival and mentor young string quartets for a week in Hobart, sponsored by the Australian Youth Orchestra. We will also continue to perform as part of the Australia Ensemble @UNSW.On a personal note, after many years as Concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, I have decided that now is the right time to relinquish this position. I first led this orchestra as Guest Concertmaster in 1983, and since my official appointment in 1987, it has been a great privilege to be involved in countless performances as Concertmaster and soloist, whilst working with many of the world’s great conductors, singers and instrumentalists. In making a decision of such significance, I have come to appreciate even more keenly the magic and wonder of music as an art form par excellence, and it has renewed my love for music, particularly the chamber music repertoire. I hope you will enjoy our musical offering.

I wish to welcome our new subscribers and existing members. It is lovely to see you here at Music in the Hunter. The Valley has had both good and bad experiences this year. January started out beautifully with high hopes of an excellent vintage. The ‘experts’ predicted an El Nino effect, aided and abetted by constant media stories of a very dry summer.

Future forecasts are not worth very much at anytime and certainly not predictions of weather events. The outcome was record rainfall in January and February together with two hailstorms. This had the effect of changing our crop from one with considerable promise to below average.

On the other hand our gardens and particularly the deciduous trees benefited greatly. The growth was the best in the 33 years I have been owner of Constable Estate.

On the musical side of life, the last year has been a standout, with Dene leading the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in performances of Beethoven Symphonies, as well as concerts presented by Musica Viva at the City Recital Hall.

Ida and I are pleased to have the same successful venues for the concerts and meals this year. In addition to the Goldner String Quartet, we are fortunate to have Kirsty McCahon (double bass), Neal Peres da Costa (harpsichord), James Crabb (classical accordion), Genevieve Lacey (recorders) and Ken Healey (pre-concert speaker).

GOLDNER STRING QUARTET

Celebrating their 21st Anniversary Season in 2016, the Goldner’s has widespread and long-standing recognition for excellence, as not only Australia’s pre-eminent string quartet but as an ensemble of international significance, favourably compared with the best in the world. Launched for the 1995 season, and still retaining all four founding members, this is an outstanding achievement, which is unique in the history of string quartets in Australia.

The players are well known to Australian and international audiences through performances, recordings and their concurrent membership of the Australia Ensemble @UNSW. All members have occupied principal positions in organisations such as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Australian Chamber Orchestra.

In 1997 the Goldner’s made its debut at the Wigmore Hall in London. Unanimous audience and critical acclaim has ensured regular return invitations to London and major festivals in the UK, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. In 2001 the Quartet made its American debut with concerts at the prestigious 92nd St Y in New York and in Washington DC. Closer to home they have performed in China, Korea, Singapore and Brunei and New Zealand.

The Goldner’s regularly appear at leading music festivals around Australia, including Music in the Hunter where they have been the resident musicians for over 20 years, and at the Australian Festival of Chamber Music where their long-term involvement has been formally recognised with the title of Quartet-in-Residence. The Huntington Estate Music Festival, Musica Viva’s Sydney Festival, and the Coriole Festival to name a few, are regular features of the Goldner’s calendar.

Special projects have included a major retrospective of 20th-century string quartets for the 2000 Adelaide Festival and in 2004 their first complete Beethoven String Quartet Cycle

in Sydney for Musica Viva (recorded live). The Quartet’s appearances in the 2011 City of London Festival drew capacity audiences and was broadcast on BBC.

The Goldner’s numerous critically acclaimed recordings include eight on the Hyperion (UK)label with pianist Piers Lane, and releases on Tall Poppies, ABC Classics and Naxos. New works are regularly commissioned from leading Australian composers. Universal rave reviews have followed, including Diapason D’Or, Editor’s Choice in Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine’s, as well as finalist for the 2009 BBC Music Magazine’s Chamber Music Award. The Goldner’s live recordings of the Beethoven cycle won the 2009 Limelight Award for Best Classical Recording.

The Goldner’s had a close working relationship with Peter Sculthorpe which culminated in three volumes of his string quartets and a DVD documentary. The Goldner’s own special projects continue to be distinctive; their multi-media Sculthorpe Project and Sydney’s Sister Cities world tour being the current focus. Strongly committed to teaching the next generation, the Goldner’s regularly mentor ensembles for the Australian Youth Orchestra, Musica Viva and Sydney Conservatorium.

In recognition of their 20th Anniversary, the Goldner’s undertook a nationwide tour for Musica Viva’s 2015 International Concert Series.

In 2005, his second recording of Piazzolla’s music in its original quintet

instrumentation was released (Mulberry Hill Recordings). James has recorded for several labels and has given world premieres and recorded works by, amongst others, Harrison Birtwistle, Thomas Adès, Luciano Berio, Sofia Gubaidulina, Django Bates, Sally Beamish and Gustavo Beytelmann.

KEN HEALEY AM

In the mid-1950s, Ken fell in love with chamber music as a self-taught wind instrumentalist, arranging chamber ensembles for the forces at hand in

the Franciscan house of studies. His own instrument, the alto saxophone, posed some problems, most of which — except the technical ones — disappeared when he was given an oboe, about ten years later.

Being locked away with limited access to recordings and published music induced Ken to track down and arrange a very odd assortment of repertoire. He read voraciously, and came to know a little about a far wider range of music than most of his peers who studied the art in conventional circumstances.

For years, his daily music consisted of singing the psalms and High Mass in Latin plainsong settings. It is against that unusual musical background that Ken delights in an encomium bestowed by a listener much later, following a pre-concert talk for the ACO. ‘You aren’t a music critic’, sounded like the beginning of a wince-inducing attack, but it was followed by an astonishing punch line: ‘You are a celebrant of music!’ Ken’s professional life has been shared between reviewing the performing arts as a critic, and celebrating them as journalist, producer, teacher, scriptwriter, occasional performer, and increasingly in recent years, as pre-concert speaker. The last category certainly feels like a kind of performance.
