ARTIST BIO

The Sydney Consort is one of Australia’s most energetic music ensembles devoted to early music of the 17th and 18th Century. 
Originally consisting of three members the group brings together Australia’s finest musicians and singers to a small chamber orchestra of up to fifteen performers. Formed in 1997 and led by artistic directors Monika and Stan Kornel, the Sydney Consort is an ensemble dedicated to bringing beauty and wisdom of Baroque music to a rapidly growing audience. The ensemble has performed music ranging from the 16th to 18th Century, as well as contemporary Australian music, and with concert themes such as English, French, German and Italian Baroque, Music and Poetry, and the Johann Sebastian Bach concertos. 

In the year 2000, the Sydney Consort celebrated the vocal and instrumental music of Bach, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the composer’s death with spectacular concerts at the St James’ Church. Frequently, the ensemble invites other well known and talented Australian artists, instrumentalists, and vocalists to further enrich performances and broaden the repertoire. The Sydney Consort performs regularly with Sydney actors and poets as a consequence of an ongoing relationship with the Poets and Writers Society. A concert of 17th Century English music and Shakespearian sonnets was a particularly successful product of this union of arts. 

The ensemble appears regularly on classical radio programs and on Sunday Live ABC Classic FM. From 2004 the group appeared for Musica Viva Australia with concerts in Sydney and NSW (countrywide program), and in June/July 2005 and 2007, the Sydney Consort performed on their European concert tour in Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, Denmark and Poland. The ensemble has been invited to return to Europe in 2009 and will perform in Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Prague and Poland

A. Vivaldi - Oboe Concerto RV 449, 3rd mvt.

You do not 'decide' to compose a certain piece. You hear it, in your mind. It chooses you. Or rather....it takes the form, as Martin Amis said, citing Nabokov, of a 'pang'. And if you ask yourself, 'why am I composing this piece?', the question is always rhetorical. Because you know you will spend the following hours, days, weeks or months, composing it, regardless of your 'preference'. That is to say, regardless of whether you would 'prefer' to compose 'something else'. And this is so because it is a 'pang'; which will not 'go away', until you have finished composing it. This piece interested me, not because I claim or assert it has any particular merit. It interested me for three reasons. The first reason, is that I found it difficult to play (outwith the fact I have played more technically challenging pieces without thinking about them being 'difficult to play'). The second reason it interested me, is that after composing and recording it, it seemed to cease to exist, almost immediately following it's creation. The pang may have gone, but so too, in a peculiar way, the piece itself seemed to disappear. Like an exotic particle, capable of enjoying merely a fleeting existence in a particle accelerator, before becoming 'something else'. Thirdly, I have no idea whether the piece will find favour, or sink without trace. Normally, you have some sort of idea (whether reasonably or unreasonably held) concerning whether a piece is tolerable or otherwise. However, I truly have no idea. No idea at all (when it comes to this piece).

*Alto Giove*
Nicola Porpora, Polifemo, Acis's aria:

ACIS 
Alto Giove è tua grazia 
E tuo vanto il gran dono 
Di vita immortale 
Che il tuo cenno 
Sovrano mi fa.

Ma, il rendermi poi quella 
Già sospirata tanto Diva 
Amorosa e bella 
È un dono senza uguale 
Come la tua beltà.
