BEETHOVEN SEPTET
(7 SEPTEMBER, SAT 11:00am)

Daylesford Town Hall

Richly inventive, written with great charm and humour, the early Septet remains one of the composer’s most enduring chamber works. Taking its cues from Mozart’s divertimentos, Beethoven makes the form his own, with bold use of the clarinet and a warm, symphonic palette of sound.

FRENCH FANTASIES
(8 SEPTEMBER, SUN 11:30am)
