Three contemporary concertos, three contrasting composers and three
outstanding soloists perform in this virtuosic program. Takemitsu’s
Gitamayla has become a brilliant signature work for internationally
renowned percussionist, Claire Edwardes. It is coupled with McGrath’s
Percussion Concerto performed by upcoming Australian percussionist Adam
Jeffrey. In between, 2006 Finalist in the Young Performers’ Awards
Matthew Rigby performs the transcendent Violin Concerto by Rautavaara,
the elder statesman of Scandinavian music. McGrath Percussion Concerto
was commissioned by Father Arthur Bridge for Ars Musica Australis.
