VDB Lunchbox Concert #4
Andrew Seymour and Karen Smithies

Tuesday 26 August

Guest Curator Katie Yap has assembled an eclectic program of music spanning a rich variety of genres and styles for VDB's latest Lunchbox Concert Series.

It was Mozart who admired the clarinet’s ability to imitate the human voice, writing “your instrument has so soft and lovely a tone that no one can resist it.”

In the beautiful acoustic of the Hobart Town Hall, where the clarinet sings so richly, Andrew Seymour (clarinet) and Karen Smithies (piano) explore these qualities with music from Verdi’s La Traviata and songs of Mahler and Mendelssohn.
