Description:
Talented local ensemble, Trio Empyrean, will perform popular works by Joseph Haydn and Felix Mendelssohn in a concert on Sunday 8 November at 3.00 pm. Formed in 2008, Trio Empyrean brings together three experienced musicians who now all live locally: Andrew Lorenz (violn), Wendy Lorenz (piano) and David Pereira (cello). 2009 marks anniversaries for both composers; 200 years since the death of Haydn and the birth of Mendelssohn. The date of the concert commemorates a more recent German milestone, 20 years since the fall of the Berlin wall. The concert is presented by Das Zentrum, the Australian-German Institute.
