Easter Camino Recital in Melbourne

[jl]

For those who live in Melbourne, or will be visiting, over the Easter period you might be interested in this link below for a recital by a woman who has walked the Camino. She is a talented Soprano and her accompanist is also a talented musician. Cheers, Janet

Distinguished soprano Merlyn Quaife will share her own Walk to the Field of Stars. Accompanied by David McSkimming, she will share songs, readings and images from and inspired by her own personal pilgrimage to Santiago di Compostela in Spain in 2007. A performer of great versatility, Merlyn Quaife has performed to great acclaim throughout Australia and Europe.

Music-lovers of all beliefs are invited to take a musical pilgrimage to the “Field of Stars” each day, starting on Palm Sunday and finally reaching Easter Day. The Festival has not so much been designed as a festival of sacred music from all over the world, but as an opportunity for us all to “walk” the narrative of darkness to light, despair to joy, confusion to knowledge, fear to compassion, all common experiences of the human condition.

Each concert will be accompanied by projections created by Dr Allan Chawner, associate professor and senior lecturer in photo media at the School of Drama, Fine Art and Music, University of Newcastle.

Melbourne Recital Centre celebrates its first Easter with a week-long festival, Walk to the Field of Stars — A Musical Pilgrimage, from Sunday, April 5 to Sunday, April 12, coinciding with Jewish Passover and Christian Holy Week.
