Event Description
Genesis Baroque with Sara Macliver
Songs of rest and renewal.
A heartfelt program of soul-nourishing compositions explores love in both human and divine forms.
Following a sold-out Melbourne Recital Centre debut in 2024, Genesis Baroque return to the Primrose Potter Salon for a collaboration with one of Australia’s favourite sopranos, Sara Macliver.
Believed to have been composed as a celebration of marriage, J.S. Bach’s Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten opens amidst a frosty atmosphere. Shortly after, thoughts of spring and love rise culminating in a joyous French gavotte in which Sara Macliver’s voice will dance throughout the Primrose Potter Salon.
The elegance of George Frideric Handel’s Trio Sonata in C minor begins this hour-long voyage through the spectrum of passion and love, with Henry Purcell’s An Evening Hymn concluding the evening and leaving audiences with music piercing their soul.
