Dancing strings, lilting clarinet – the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra returns to regional NSW and Victoria in collaboration with Music in the Regions with sparkling chamber music from three brilliant composers. ‘Mozart’s Clarinet’ soars from joyful Schubert to the freshness of female composer Emilie Mayer and one of music’s best-loved pieces: Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, played on a rare historical basset clarinet.

Hear some of Australia’s best musicians, and bask in the luminous sonorities of historical clarinet, violin, viola and cello. Feel your heart sing. Experience ‘Mozart’s Clarinet.’
