WELCOME

Welcome to the 2019 TarraWarra Festival.

The Festival has become a highlight of the ACO’s year and we are delighted to be back.

This year’s program features both old and new works in signature ACO style, and highlights the musicians as an ensemble as well as soloists. We are proud of our ongoing relationship with ANAM and pleased to have students joining us again this year for the third concert and Masterclass on Sunday.

We are surrounded in the museum by the artworks of Joy Hester and Patricia Piccinini. Exploring love, intimacy and relationships, the works of these two Australian artists complete the immersive cultural experience that makes the TarraWarra Festival unique.

On behalf of everyone at the ACO, I extend our warmest thanks to our generous hosts, Eva Besen ao and Marc Besen ac, for making this experience possible for us all. Of course, the weekend would not be complete without the coming together of so many of our key patrons, and we thank you all for your continued support.

TARRAWARRA MUSEUM OF ART

TarraWarra Museum of Art recognises and values the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the original custodians of the lands and waters on which the Museum stands.

Designed by acclaimed Australian architect Allan Powell, TarraWarra Museum of Art opened in December 2003, winning the Premier’s Design Award in 2004.

Not only did the founding patrons Eva Besen ao and Marc Besen ac gift the building that houses the Museum, they also donated a significant proportion of their collection of modern and contemporary Australian art for the enjoyment of the public.

We value our non-urban environment the immersive atmosphere of which provides a retreat for the imagination, and we actively engage with the rich Indigenous culture of the Yarra Valley. The Museum provides artists, thinkers and visitors with the opportunities to actively participate in the world around them.

Building on the Eva and Marc Besen gift, TarraWarra Museum of Art actively engages with art, place and ideas, where unexpected links between contemporary art and modernism are presented within global, national and Indigenous contexts.

WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO HEAR

“For all their complexity, the variations flow with a unique sense of coherence and inevitability”

The first concert in this year’s TarraWarra Festival celebrates three crowning jewels of Baroque music by the era’s two leading composers: George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach.

The Art of Fugue, composed in the last decade of Bach’s life, is a large-scale work of incredible ingenuity based on a single theme, and a summation of the composer’s knowledge of counterpoint and fugal writing, of which history has seen no finer exponent. It is not known what instruments Bach had in mind for performance, and some have concluded that it may be a theoretical piece, intended only as a manual of how to master this abstract form.

Handel is one of the few Baroque composers who could be said to be in Bach’s league, with Bach himself saying that Handel was “the only person I would wish to see before I die, and the only person I would wish to be, were I not Bach.” His Concerto Grosso in A major, Op.6, No.11 is part of a set of 12 composed over the course of just a few weeks, each inspired by the concerti grossi of Arcangelo Corelli and Francesco Geminiani.

Bach’s Goldberg Variations were published in 1741 but fell into relative obscurity until the 20th century when it was brought to fame by the pianist Glenn Gould.

It is the most ambitious solo keyboard work written before Beethoven, opening with a gentle sarabande Aria, followed by 30 diverse variations – not on the Aria’s melody, but its bass line. In the final variation, Bach quotes two German folk songs, demonstrating that the variations are far from theoretical (as The Art of Fugue might be), but firmly rooted in the idea that music should be enjoyed. For all their complexity, the variations flow with a unique sense of coherence and inevitability, and possess an emotional depth that transcends all analysis.

WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO HEAR

“See how brightly the universe shines!

Everything is gleaming!”

The second concert in this year’s Festival is a journey backwards through time, space and light.

We open with Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte for string orchestra. Originally composed for string quartet in 2011, she arranged it for string orchestra in 2014 and it has since become one of her most performed works, entering the mainstream via the American series Mozart in the Jungle. Shaw writes that the Entr’acte is structured like a minuet and trio (inspired by Haydn’s Op.77, No.2), “riffing on that classical form but taking it a little further. I love the way some music suddenly takes you to the other side of Alice’s looking glass, in a kind of absurd, subtle, technicolor transition.”

On the other side of Alice’s looking glass we find the soulful music of Latvian composer Peˉteris Vasks. He says, “most people today no longer possess beliefs, love and ideals. The spiritual dimension has been lost. My intention is to provide food for the soul”.

Vasks’ music is an enduring pledge of service to humanity, positioning ideals like beauty, faith and joy in opposition to repression and violence, with this conflict represented through harmony, aleatory and the sheer texture of sound. What is the “Distant Light” that gives this 1997 violin concerto its title? “Childhood memories”, says Vasks, “but also the glittering stars, millions of light years away.”

Under this starry night sky, two lovers walk through a dark forest in the moonlight. The woman shares a dark secret: she is carrying the child of another man.

So goes Richard Dehmel’s poem, set to music by Arnold Schoenberg in 1899. Schoenberg, over the course of 30 minutes of exquisitely written music, paints the scene vividly: from the sadness of the woman’s confession, to the warm sense of forgiveness in its finale. “See how brightly the universe shines!

Everything is gleaming!”

The concert will last approximately one hour.

“Brahms revelled in the opportunity to harness extra instruments to provide an extra bass and harmony”

The third concert in this year’s Festival forges colourful interactions between musicians, from the finesse of Brahms’s first sextet performed with musicians from ANAM, to the jazzy solos of Frank Proto’s Sonata ‘1963’ arranged by the ACO’s Maxime Bibeau, to the shimmering brilliance of Szymanowski’s Second String Quartet arranged by Richard Tognetti.

Brahms was 27 when he wrote his first sextet. While some composers would have stayed away from such an ensemble (instead favouring the hallowed string quartet genre), the young Brahms revelled in the opportunity to harness extra instruments to provide an extra bass and harmony. Written in the summertime while vacationing on the banks of the Elbe, there 9

WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO HEAR

“Proto had to rely on musical instincts developed while playing double bass in New York City nightclubs”

are subtle hints of the sweetness found in much of Vienna’s traditional music, but the music remains unmistakably Brahmsian in its noble seriousness.

Sonata ‘1963’ was written to fill out Frank Proto’s own graduation recital program at the Manhattan School of Music. Having not had any formal training in composition, Proto had to rely on musical instincts developed while playing double bass in New York City nightclubs. He has spoken of being particularly inspired by hearing Bill Evans and his bassist, Scott LaFaro at The Village Vanguard around 1960. “I can now look back and see where the first two movements had their seeds planted. The little repeated eighth-note vamp that accompanies the melody in the first movement … comes from some of the same kind of accompaniments that Bill used for his own melodic excursions. The feeling of the pizzicato second movement probably wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t heard Scott.”

Szymanowski’s Second String Quartet was composed in 1927, the year following the premiere of his great opera King Roger, and a time when Szymanowski was re-discovering his appreciation for Polish folk music. It makes use of Polish folk idioms without quoting actual folk melodies, and boasts some of the 20th century’s finest writing for stringed instruments, such that the quartet remains one of Richard Tognetti’s very favourite works.

THE EXHIBITION

WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO HEAR

Patricia Piccinini & Joy Hester: Through love ...

Curated by Victoria Lynn Until 11 March 2019 Patricia Piccinini & Joy Hester: Through love ... reveals the shared explorations of love, intimacy and relationships in the work of two of Australia’s most exceptional artists. Patricia Piccinini’s early practice was profoundly influenced by the work of Joy Hester.

Hester’s expressionistic, blended figures, drawn with ink on paper, often share an eye, mouth or shoulder while Piccinini’s works intermingle human, non-human and hybrid forms. The works in this exhibition share an interest in various kinds of love as expressed through the pairing of male and female; mother and child; child and animal; and animate and inanimate forms. Love is seen as complex, intimate and entangled.

This exhibition presents more than 50 works, including a major new sculpture by Piccinini and rarely seen works by Hester, that show the incredible spectrum of human and non-human relationships.

Coinciding with TarraWarra Museum of Art’s 15th anniversary, Through love ... continues the Museum’s aim of connecting with the history of modernism through the filter of contemporary art.

Through love ... is made possible thanks to the generous support of major exhibition partner, The Balnaves Foundation, whose ongoing partnership has enabled TarraWarra Museum of Art to present ambitious summer exhibitions over the past three years.

THE ARTISTS

Patricia Piccinini Patricia Piccinini (b. 1965) is a renowned contemporary Australian artist whose work encompasses sculpture, installation, photography, video and drawing to examine the increasingly blurred boundary between the artificial and the natural and how this effects our relationship to our bodies, other people and creatures, and the environment.

She began her career as co-founder of an artist-run space in Melbourne called the Basement Project.

Within a few years, she was exhibiting her original and visionary works in Tokyo and Peru.

In 2002, she held major exhibitions at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney. She represented Australia at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003. Since then, Piccinini has shown her work in numerous significant exhibitions throughout the world, including a major exhibition that toured in Brazil in 2015-16 and a retrospective at Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane in 2018.

She is represented by Tolarno Galleries, Melbourne; Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney; and Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco.

Patricia Piccinini was born in Sierra Leone and lives and works in Melbourne.

THE ARTISTS

Joy Hester Joy Hester (1920–1960) was a member of the group of artists in Melbourne known as the Angry Penguins.

Her work is characterised by the fluent use of brush and ink on paper and an expressionistic approach to figuration. Hester was part of the ‘Heide circle’, and was particularly close to Sunday Reed who was something of a mentor to her. Unlike her male counterparts, she suffered a large degree of neglect as a female artist and as an artist who worked primarily with brush and ink.

During her lifetime, Hester had three solo exhibitions: in 1950, 1953 and 1956. She was a foundation member of the Contemporary Art Society and exhibited often in its annual shows.

Photo: Albert Tucker

In 1963 the Reeds curated a retrospective of her work at the Museum of Modern Art and Design which they founded. In 1981 a survey of her work was shown at the National Gallery of Victoria and, in 2001, separate retrospective exhibitions of Hester’s work were held at the National Gallery of Australia and Heide Museum of Modern Art.
