Lovers of song and music are in for a musical treat with Art Song Perth's final 2015 concert on August 15 at Swanbourne.
Internationally acclaimed singers Sally-Anne Russell and Sara Macliver will perform at the gala concert to officially wrap up Art Song Perth's 25th Anniversary year celebrations. They will be accompanied by Art Song Perth's musical director, Marilyn Phillips.
Audiences will be dazzled by a wide selection of beautiful songs and duets from Spain, Germany, France and Italy performed by mezzo-soprano Sally-Anne Russell and soprano Sara Macliver. I've been listening to a CD the two performers recorded -
Bach: Arias and Duets - and it's simply mesmerising.
Phillips, who studied at the Royal Academy of Music and was awarded the Ralph Vaughan Williams Scholarship for advanced studies in piano accompaniment, is dedicated to bringing an understanding and love of music to the wider Australian audience.
She said the finale concert would be "spectacular"."The programme will be an absolute delight, with works particularly suited to these two splendid voices with divine Handel duets to cheeky Rossini and gorgeous French duets. There will also be solos to melt your heart and make you smile – what more could an audience member ask for?"
The champagne supper that is included with the ticket may answer that question.
The concert will be held at The Church of the Resurrection, Swanbourne and starts at 7.30pm.
Concert tickets are $50 non members, $45 members.

The annual scholarship, with more than $5000 in prize money, is awarded to a singer or accompanist showing outstanding potential for further study in Australia or overseas. This year, Macliver will join the judging panel.
