Nestled betw een the foothills of a mountain wilderness and set against one of the most picturesque harbours in the world, yet urban and urb ane, Hobart resists clichés. Old but young, gentle yet vital, vulgar and cultured, Australia’s oldest pubs and newest museum nudge and jostle each other into a city that belies its size with the charms of another country still undiscovered by most Austr alians.

FROm THE PREmiERThe Honourable Lara Giddings MP

Despite its relatively small size, Tasmania has long contributed disproportionately to the cultural life of Australia. But the opening of MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, in January of 2011, heralded a new and exciting era of creativity in the arts and proved a catalyst for new initiatives including Hobart Baroque, the only dedicated annual festival of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.

Reactions to the inaugural Hobart Baroque in 2013 were immediate and positive. The festival drew much of its audience from interstate and was acclaimed by public and critics alike.

Hobart Baroque 2014 is even more ambitious, as performers from Russia, Spain, Israele, the UK, Finland, Turkey and the United States join artistic forces with musicians from all over Australia and our very own Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.

Hobart is often cited as one of the world’s cities ideally suited to host an arts festival. It’s compact, beautifully sited and beyond the city limits, within easy reach, lie unmatched and awe-inspiring natural environments and a magnificent stock of historic buildings including the landmark Theatre Royal of 1837, all tailor made for performances of the intimate musical masterpieces from one of the most fertile periods of human creativity, the era of the baroque.

My Government is proud to have helped give form and substance to this fresh new celebration of the arts, a unique event in a unique state.

FROm OUR PATROnsGovernor of Tasmania, the Honourable Peter Underwood AC and Mrs Frances Underwood As joint Patrons of Hobart Baroque, we extend a warm welcome to the people coming to this outstanding event from all over the world.

Tasmania is a unique and breathtakingly beautiful island where the big ideas and capacity of critical and creative thinkers have caused the arts to thrive and flourish. Hobart Baroque is a fine example. It is the only Australian festival devoted entirely to the performance of music from the baroque period, attracting elite national and international singers, musicians and other specialists and enthusiasts for the genre to Hobart.

In its inaugural year in 2013, Hobart Baroque’s pièce de résistance was the production of Haydn’s L’isola disabitata from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Bringing to Hobart a superb cast of singers, director and production team, it was the first time in its history that the company had presented live opera in Australia. Performed in the ideal setting of the Theatre Royal, Australia’s oldest continually operating theatre, since 1837, it set the tone and whetted the appetite for years to come.

Hobart Baroque 2014 is shaping up to be just as exciting, with performances such as Handel’s Orlando from The Glimmerglass Festival and much more. We look forward to seeing you there.

Hobart Baroque will bring the world to Hobart and take Hobart to the world.

FROm THE LORD mAyORDamon Thomas

On behalf of the City of Hobart community I welcome you to the second annual Hobart Baroque early music festival and to this splendid host city.

We are honoured that a single triumphant sold-out performance in the inaugural festival has now multiplied tenfold with two unique recitals each day of festival week.

We are thrilled that our local, interstate and international visitors and artists will once again experience the unmatched beauty and atmosphere of the historic Hobart Town Hall, built in 1864.

Hobart Baroque is now established as a major event on the city's cultural calendar, yet another reason to celebrate the city's burgeoning visitor appeal and a further cause for pride in the city and the state.

FROm THE PRODUcERsLeo Schofield AM, Artistic Director, and Jarrod Carland, Executive Director

With this second annual festival, Hobart Baroque consolidates its position as yet another innovative cultural event particular to Tasmania.

With its superb array of historic buildings and compact scale, Hobart is in many ways the perfect city for a highly focussed festival of this nature.

As this event grows in scale and importance, as it surely must, and attracts larger audiences and even more musicians of the highest calibre, local and international, other magnificent heritage buildings, houses and churches will be drafted as performances venues. The concept of early music in early buildings is rock solid and the stock of possible sites almost inexhaustible.

We are honoured to have been enabled to create something unique on this already unique island and we thank the State Government, our many supporters and the people of Hobart and Tasmania for helping us lend substance to what has remained for a long time just a dream, not only ours but also that of others before us.

wHAT’S bArOqUE ?

Emanating initially from rome in the early 1600s and encompassing painting, sculpture, architecture, theatre and music, baroque was the principal style in the European arts of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century. Characterised by restless forms, exaggerated motion and unambiguous detail, it was capable of conveying power, exuberance but above all, drama. baroque music has enjoyed a remarkable revival in the past half century and continues to delight audiences as extensive research reveals an enormous cache of hitherto forgotten or neglected masterpeices by composers of genius. Throughout the western world hundreds of musicians have turned to the baroque to satisfy an ever growing audience demand for this opulent and exotic form of artistic expression.

jULiA LEzHnEvAThe young and prodigiously talented Russian coloratura soprano Julia Lezhneva came to international attention when, at just seventeen years of age, she won the Grand Prix at the 6th Elena Obraztsova International Competition for Young Opera Singers in St Petersburg.

There followed a series of engagements throughout the world and an exclusive recording contract with Decca.

At the 2010 gala concert for the Classical Brit Awards, Ms Lezhneva was invited by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa to share the stage at the Royal Albert Hall with Angela Gheorghiu, Rolando Villazon and Bryn Terfel. Singing the bravura aria Fra il padre from Rossini’s La Donna del lago, she caused a sensation.

Now twenty-four, she is in demand in opera houses and concerts worldwide.

Hobart Baroque is honoured to host this astonishing young singer in her only Australian performance with orchestra.

She will appear in an exclusive concert with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Oliver Gooch, the music director of Haydn’s L’isola disabitata at the inaugural Hobart Baroque in 2013.

In October 2013, at a lavish, televised ceremony at the Konzerthaus in Berlin, Lezhneva was presented with a coveted ECHO Klassik Award. Established in 1994, this is one of the most prestigious music awards in the world, honouring German and international musicians for excellence in recorded and concert performance.

“From time to time a really outstanding talent appears and I believe that Julia Lezhneva is just that. The brilliance of her voice and technique are extremely impressive.” Dame Kiri Te Kanawa

“Clearly a name to watch… The ingredients for a great career certainly are there.” The Sunday Times

“She sent me scurrying to the Internet to find out more… Lezhneva has extraordinary potential as a Baroque and bel canto singer.” Alex Ross New Yorker

in cOncERT WiTH THE TAsmAniAn symPHOny ORcHEsTRA

Ms Lezhneva’s appearance in Hobart Baroque has been made possible by the generosity of Ms Julia Farrell

Her technique is rock solid, her coloratura dazzling in its speed and pinpoint accuracy and her trump card is a smooth, silvery tone like extruded moonbeams.

At 5 Pm each evening Tasmanian musicians will take part in a series of hour-long twilight recitals.

Tickets are priced at $5 each to attract young people. These mini-recitals will be followed by weightier fare with class of ’85, a massive celebration of the three

great masters of the Baroque, Bach, Handel and scarlatti, all of whom were born in 1685. Another star in

the series will be the Town Hall itself, a masterpiece of High victorian italianate architecture and decorations.

With its pale pastel walls, and glittering gilt and chandeliers, it is the perfect setting for performances

of intimate chamber music.

HANDEL F E b r U A r y

BACH M A r C H

SCARLATTI O C T O b E r

The second annual Hobart Baroque celebrates the genius of all three of these great musicians.

Handel’s opera Orlando, one of three compositions derived from Ariosto’s epic poem Orlando Furioso, is generally regarded as his most adventurous in terms of its form.

If opera and oratorio were Handel’s métier, the keyboard was Scarlatti’s. The endlessly inventive Neapolitan wrote no fewer than five hundred and fifty five keyboard sonatas. Hobart Baroque’s two resident harpsichordists will play a selection of these miniature masterpieces.

And imperishable works by Bach will be studded through this exciting program.

If 1685 was a landmark year in the history of music, then 2014 will be another landmark year for the performance of some of the splendid repertoire of the baroque era.

C L A S S O F

by some remarkable coincidence, three of the greatest composers of the

baroque era were all born in 1685

DUELLing HARPsicHORDsKeyboard virtuosos Erin Helyard and Donald Nicholson alternate in a selection of the best-known and best-loved sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, each a miniature masterpiece. Think the soundtrack for Michael Haenke’s Academy Award winning film Amour. Or the haunting sonata that Ingmar Bergman chose for The Devil’s Eye.

EncORE LATiTUDE 37The marvellous Melbourne early music ensemble returns to the scene of its triumphant Hobart Baroque debut with a program featuring music by Bach, Handel and their contemporaries.

FAnTAsTic FinnHelsinki-born Timo-Veikko Valve was one of the virtuoso cellists in Monacello, an outstanding attraction in the inaugural Hobart Baroque festival. He returns with his superb 1725 Italian baroque instrument, complete with gut strings, to play three of Bach’s six sonatas, a partita and a sonata by his son Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach. Experience these works as their composers would have heard them.

gUiTAR gEniUsYoung Greek guitar virtuoso and composer Smaro Gregoriadou plays music from the Baroque (Bach, Scarlatti, Handel) to the present on three guitars differing in type, number and material of strings, timbre and tunings, all built by Yorgos Kertsopoulos whose instruments embody exhaustive historical and aesthetic research.

EnsEmBLE HBKey soloists from Orchestra of the Antipodes combine in chamber configuration perform Bach and Handel on original instruments, mixing familiar favourites with some surprising lesser known works.

Or LANDOOrlando was one of three operas Handel set to texts derived from Ludovico Ariosto’s sixteenth century epic poem, Orlando Furioso, the others being Alcina and Ariodante. First performed in London in 1733, it is among the composer’s most admired and original works.

In this beautiful production by director Chas Rader-Shieber and designer David Zinn, premiered at Glimmerglass and later shown to great acclaim at Lincoln Centre in New York, the knight Orlando and his love-bewitched companions wander through a lush forest governed by both the wise counsel of Zoroastro and the reckless arrows from Cupid’s bow, opposing forces that everyone must confront as they come to terms with their emotions. The sheer poetry of the visual detail and the characters’ expressive movements help make this journey of self-discovery absolutely mesmerising.

Ever since it opened in 1987 on an idyllic 18-hectare campus near Lake Otsego in upstate New York, the Glimmerglass summer opera festival has gained an international reputation for innovative productions of familiar and lesser-known operas.

Dubbed “America’s Glyndebourne”, Glimmerglass has been at the forefront of the baroque revival in the United States. The current festival director is internationally celebrated Francesca Zambello, whose work has been seen in all the great opera houses of the world.

Hobart Baroque is privileged to introduce to Australia the very first production from this festival with a cast of brilliant young American singers.

Sabata had an unlikely start to his musical career, studying saxophone at the Barcelona Conservatory and acting at the Institut del Teatre. At the same time he took singing lessons at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona and the Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe. He also participated in master classes led by the late Montserrat Figueras, one of the most celebrated early music singers and wife of Jordi Savall. Christoph Prégardien and Richard Leavit, Andreas Scholl’s teacher, were other mentors.

Sabata has performed at London’s Barbican Hall, Teatro Real in Madrid, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, New York’s Lincoln Center, and Opera Lorraine in Nancy. He collaborated with esteemed conductors -– with René Jacobs, Jordi Savall, Eduardo López Banzo.

He has also worked extensively as soloist with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants and with Le Jardin des voix, an academy created by Christie to train young singers in baroque technique.

Bad Guys, Sabata’s album of arias that Handel wrote for some of the nastier characters in his operas has had critics scrambling for superlatives.

Australia’s most innovative and exciting early music ensemble, Latitude 37, returns to Hobart baroque to star in a unique collaboration with MONA. AN

OTTOMAN FEAST

süLeyMAn ii 1642–1691

This adventurous group of musicians’ tireless search for rare and hitherto unperformed compositions led them to the Ottoman Empire and to a collection of exotic Turkish classical compositions from the 17th Century publication The book of the Science of Music by Dimitrie Cantemir. While Europeans were enjoying Bach and Handel, the Ottoman Turks and their neighbours were listening to their own baroque music.

For this exceptional performance, Latitude 37 is joined by a further three talented players specialising in the music and individual sound of such ancient instruments as the oud, a lute-like instrument from northern Africa and south- west Asia, and the kanun, another ancient traditional instrument related to the zither.

Wines and exotic Turkish treats created by MONA’s renowned team of chefs are included in the ticket price.

And if you’d like to imagine that the Derwent is the Bosphorous, you may choose to travel to and from MONA by boat. This trip is also included in the ticket price.

Numbers for this special one-off event are strictly limited to just 200 guests so PLEASE BOOK EARLY for what will surely be one of the many highlights of Hobart Baroque 2014.

[email protected].

DELACrOIXLudovico Ariosto’s poem Orlando Furioso provided inspiration not only for composers like Handel, whose eponymous opera Orlando is the centerpiece of Hobart baroque 2014, but also for artists in other mediums including painters Tiepolo, Ingres, redon and Doré. The great 19th century French artist Eugene Delacroix was also inspired to paint a scene from this celebrated epic. His painting, Angelica comforts the wounded Medoro, is in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South wales and the Trustees have generously agreed to lend the painting for exhibition during Hobart baroque. See it on display at the newly refurbished Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.

@TMAG

mORE AT TmAGTasmanian Museum and Art Gallery has recently assumed responsibility for two further historic Hobart sites. Narryna in Hampden Road, Battery Point. is a house museum with a fascinating collection of pictures, furniture and objects with Tasmanian associations. Nearby Markree is a magnificently preserved original 1926 Arts and Crafts house and garden with a fine collection of designer furniture and objects. Both are open to the public and are perfect subjects for a walking tour of one of Hobart’s most attractive precincts.
