Omega Ensemble Howl

Omega Ensemble: The Trout

This season finale brings together Schubert’s Trout Quintet, Guillaume Connesson’s Sextet, and a luminous new work by Anne Cawrse. Music of flux, movement and irresistible musical energy.


A radiant season finale of music in constant flux and motion.

Schubert’s Trout Quintet reveals a vivid world of humour and lyricism. From its dramatic opening flourish to its effortlessly hummable finale, the music sparkles with buoyant melodies, quicksilver interplay and an endless sense of uplift. Alongside this glittering jewel, French composer Guillaume Connesson offers a brilliantly modern counterpart. His Sextet brims with cinematic flair and exuberant energy, at times pulsing with minimalist drive and at others leaping in unexpected directions, conjuring a sound world that is witty, vibrant and feverishly joyful.
 
Award winning Australian composer Anne Cawrse brings the program to a luminous close with a new sextet written for Omega Ensemble. Renowned for her expressive strength and clarity of voice, she offers music of presence and conviction.
