Mozart's Sister

For the first 16 years of her life, Mozart’s sister shared equal billing with her brother. Musical partners and collaborators, Wolfgang Mozart and Maria-Anna Mozart played together before Kings and Queens, and were the talk of Europe. But what happened to her? Forced to withdraw from public life because she was a woman, a stunning new investigation explores why she was retired and what happened to her music. From multi-awarded Director/Producer Madeleine Hetherton-Miau and Producer Rebecca Barry, MOZART’S SISTER is a ‘musical-mystery’ story that explores the lost talent of Maria-Anna Mozart. In this concert, we will perform Wolfgang’s SYMPHONY NO. 1, with commentary highlighting Maria’s contributions, and selections from the Original Soundtrack of the AACTA Award-winning documentary.

THE SOUTH WIND is a collection of five short piano pieces by Australian women composers of the early Twentieth century, arranged for chamber orchestra by Steven Stanke. Dorothy Albery, Mary Bowden, Alice Charbonne-Kellerman, Marcelle Christian and Meta Overman may not be as well-known or as performed as their male counterparts but their music is equally accomplished and expressive.
