Benaud Trio 2010 Series Concert 4 - Café Music

November 27, 2010
6:00 pm

‘One glance at Schubert’s Trio and the troubles of our human existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again’ — Robert Schumann

The first performance of Schubert’s Op.99 Trio was at an informal gathering of his friends - diary accounts recall much drinking, dancing and high spirits! Paul Shoenfield’s 1987 hit ‘Café Music’ was written with exactly this sort of merriment in mind. Combining elements of Viennese, gypsy and Broadway styles, Paul Schoenfield’s witty take on high class dinner music is a rollicking rollercoaster of Paul Schoenfieldmusical fun.

Time: 6pm

Venue: The Salon, Melbourne Recital Centre, Cnr Southbank Boulevard and Sturt Street, Southbank, Victoria.

Admission: $35 ($25 concession) -  Special four concert subscription package availlable for $120 ($85 concession).
