Elder Conservatorium lunchtime concert: Images

Neoclassical Respighi drew inspiration from Chopin for his salon-esque waltz (originally for violin and piano) and his most famous piano work, Notturno, has been described as having a 鈥淩achmaninovian鈥 feel. Grieg鈥檚 nine variations on a Norwegian folk theme (plus a coda) embrace a gamut of emotions, whilst Debussy, steeped in impressionism and symbolism and 鈥渁lmost as fond of pictures as of music鈥, produced dramatic contrasting works with evocative titles in his 1905 Images Book 1. Featuring alumnus and staff pianist Michael Ierace.听Doors open at 12:30 pm. Tickets available at the door and for $20.听
