CONCERT
DESCRIPTION

Join us for À Deux, a recital featuring a2. orchestra founders Josh Spirek (Double Bass) and Aiden Labuschagne (Oboe). Built around the rare pairing of oboe and double bass, with piano accompaniment, this program explores a corner of the classical music that’s rarely heard.

 

Alongside works by Mendelssohn, Mozart, Bach, Bottesini, and Britten, the duo will present a specially commissioned world premiere by Marcell Howell and the Australian premiere of Goplerud’s "Schubert’s Trout Served Four Ways." 

 

The concert highlights the duo’s long-standing collaboration, both on and off the stage, offering a glimpse into their musical and personal partnership that sparked the creation of a2. Treat yourself to a delightful afternoon of music and see the musicians at the heart of a2. collaborate for a celebration of music.
