SUMMARY:Australian Festival of Chamber Music 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Festival of Chamber Music 2024 is back in Townsville-Gurambilbarra from 26 July – 4 August with over 30 events and concerts to explore. \n  \nView the complete Australian Festival of Chamber Music 2024 Program at the following link – https://www.afcm.com.au/afcm-2024/2024-program/ \n  \nRejoice! Our wonderful Festival beckons and for this\, my third as Artistic Director\, I am thrilled to once again be presenting you with my artistic concoctions. Our 2023 Festival was a joy to see unfold before my eyes\, and the joy in our audiences’ faces will live with me in perpetuity. Although no two Festivals can be the same\, I hope that the 2024 Festival will build on this further! In 2024 we will present plenty of new faces and some old favourites whom I am sure you will all be thrilled to welcome back. I think particularly of our former Artistic Director\, the man for whom I can credit my entire connection to Australia\, Piers Lane. I know that his appearance will be met with whoops of delight. We will also be saying adieu to our beloved Goldner String Quartet who so movingly announced their retirement during our Festival Coda in August 2023. The 2024 programme is very much a “Goldner-fest”\, and I hope we will all drink to them during their Champagne Concert Conversations and bid them a wonderful farewell. Our resident musicologist Stephen Johnson was such a hit in 2023 that I have invited him to come back. His musical wisdom and insight is truly Festival enhancing. Learning what goes on behind the notes is so valuable to really gain insight into what you hear our musicians perform. I am so thrilled to have him back. Among other things\, he will guide us through the Ravel Piano Trio and the Brahms Horn Trio as well as give us insight into what it is in music that really makes us feel something when we listen to it. Fascinating! One of my favourite AFCM inventions\, Guilty Pleasures\, is back again\, so you will be sure to hear many unusual pieces that drive our musicians’ soft centres into delight. We will also feature Wonderful World with cellist Christian-Pierre La Marca accompanied by AYO Momentum featuring breathtaking imagery of our precious blue dot and beautiful music that is equally as special. Watch out for Musical Transfigurations in which we will experience two incredible tone poems\, Mahler Symphony No 1 “Titan” and a unique performance of Schoenberg Verklärte Nachte. There are so many highlights in my mind during this programme\, so have a look for yourself and see\nwhich ones tickle your fancy.\nI hope that you will share in this year’s delights and love it as much as I have enjoyed (and stressed out) in its conception!\nSee you all in the blink of an eye… \nJack Liebeck\, Artistic Director

SUMMARY:Australian Festival of Chamber Music 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Festival of Chamber Music 2023 takes place in Townsville – Gurambilbarra from 28 July to 6 August 2023. It is a unique 10-day event that entertains and moves audiences with its variety of concerts\, stunning line-up of international and Australian musicians and friendly atmosphere. \n  \nView the Australian Festival of Chamber Music 2023 program HERE \n  \nARTISTIC DIRECTOR \n\n\n\n\nJack Liebeck has had an acclaimed recording career\, including Dvorak (Sony Classics) which won Classical Brit Young Artist of the Year in 2010. He has recorded the Brahms Violin Sonatas with pianist Katya Apekisheva and a complete Bruch concerto series with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. His recording of the Brahms and Schoenberg violin concertos with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Gourlay was released in  March 2020. \nJack was named as the Royal Academy of Music’s first Émile Sauret Professor of Violin and his playing embraces the worlds of elegant chamber-chic Mozart through to the impassioned mastery required to frame Brett Dean’s The Lost Art of Letter Writing. Jack’s release of Schoenberg and Brahms violin concertos with BBC Symphony Orchestra in 2020\, was the May Edition ‘Recording of the Month’ and Concerto Choice Album of the Year for BBC Music Magazine. Jack’s latest album\, Ysaÿe Six Sonatas\, also on Orchid Classics was released in October 2021 to high acclaim\, with 5 star reviews in The Times and BBC Music Magazine. \nIn addition to being the Artistic Director of AFCM\, Jack Liebeck runs his own music festivals – Oxford May Music; the DESY Humboldt Science and Music Series in Hamburg; and Alpine Classics in Grindelwald\, Switzerland. He has a great interest in the links between music and science\, appearing regularly with luminaries such as Professor Brian Cox\, and you’ll find fascinating references to this passion dotted right throughout our 2023 Festival program.
