Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) presents a concert where you can experience the energy, passion and talent of young professional musicians on the edge of their careers.
This November we harness that feeling in a specially curated concert featuring Artistic Director Paavali Jumppanen with ANAM musicians. This concert reflects ANAM’s theme for the year: the relationship between folk music, land and classical composers. From Bartók’s Piano Quintet, capturing the composer discovering the folk idioms which defined his later style to Rautavaara’s Fiddlers, drawn from Finnish village dance tunes and Tarkiainen’s Sensory Flashbacks, written for piano, strings and clarinet, creates a contemporary echo of the country’s musical past. The concert concludes with Enescu’s Chamber Symphony. ANAM musicians presenting over 200 performances each year including regular performances with leading national and international guest artists, orchestras and ensembles.
"ANAM is an extraordinary institution: intense, demanding, challenging and immensely rewarding to be involved with. The musicians are totally engaged and committed." – Simone Young AM, Conductor.
