with Sally Walker and Emily Granger

Sunday 29 September @ 3pm

With years of performances around the world, from Berlin to Edinburgh and Chicago to Sydney, extraordinary flute soloist, Sally Walker and acclaimed harpist Emily Granger defy preconceptions with their musical dynamism and skill. From the intricacies of JS Bach and WA Mozart, who wrote a concerto for flute and harp, to the hypnotic and moving works of Erik Satie, Elena Kats-Chernin and Lachlan Skipworth, surrender an hour to old and newer music in the hands of this breathtaking duo, dedicated to anyone who has loved and lost, or ever dreamed of being a composer themselves.

Refreshments will be offered in the JAHM apartment after the concert.
