Concerts and RECITALS
In partnership with the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), we host several concerts through the year - often featuring visiting, internationally renowned performers.
harry ward presents 'first violin'
the recital wrap
Performing to a large and appreciative audience recently at St Silas, ANAM violinist Harry Ward presented a program of works for solo violin and a chamber group. This recital was part of his preparation for an International Violin Competition in NZ at the end of May where he has reached the quarter-finals. We wish him well and anticipate hearing of his further success in this prestigious event.
The first half of the program consisted of several pieces for solo violin, each played from memory. It included movements from a Bach Partita and a Paganini Caprice which demonstrated Harry’s virtuosity and a contemporary piece which showed off his versatility. In the second half, he was joined by fellow ANAM musicians in Mozart’s melodic and dramatic String Quintet in G minor.
It was a truly St Silas moment when following the recital there was a meeting of the two Harrys - our much-loved parishioner Harry Ward and our guest musician Harry Ward.
