The Coriole Music Festival is 10 years old.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2008

Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th May 2008

Two cities, two centuries...

The tenth Coriole Music Festival will be held on Saturday 3rd May and Sunday 4th May 2008.

Music Director, Christopher Burrell has been the guiding musical influence in the Festival since its inception, and this year continues to bring us truly wonderful music and an exciting range of artists, all of whom enjoy both national and international reputations.

Performers include the Flinders Quartet from Melbourne; string players Dimity Hall and Julian Smiles and pianist Ian Munro from Sydney; soprano Rosalind Martin and violist Keith Crellin from Adelaide; and Roy Howat from London, a leading interpreter of French music.

This year�s Festival presents music from two different eras � classical Vienna, and Paris of the late 19th- early 20th century. We will hear two great classical quintets, Mozart�s C major viola quintet, and a work inspired by this, the Schubert C major cello quintet. The Festival will also explore the flowering of 19th century French music with a range of works by Couperin, Faur�, Chabrier, Debussy and Ravel.

Coriole Music Festival includes three concerts, each followed by a meal prepared by chef Tina Llewellyn, and takes place in the informal and delightful setting of Coriole Vineyards in South Australia's beautiful McLaren Vale.

The barrel room has a wonderful acoustic for chamber and vocal music, and the proximity of audience to performers adds an intimate and emotional dimension to both the music and artists' performances.
