The Gabriella Ensemble played for RVMS

A lovely concert was provided by the Gabriella Ensemble on Wednesday 27 August 2008, in Robertson.

The Ensemble is led by Gabriella Pusner, who is the Musical Director of the Robertson Village Music Society. She invited Belinda Mainwaring, a cellist, and Sally Walker, a flautist, to join with her for this Chamber Music recital. Their impressive biographies may be seen at the previous posting.

They started with the Bach Flute Sonata in E Minor - BWV 1034.
Belinda and Gabriella then played the Schumann Three Fantasy Pieces for Violoncello and Piano - Opus 73. This provided a study in the amazingly vigorous and fast fingering required by the Cellist.
Sally and Gabriella then played a lovely piece - the Hungarian Suite for Flute and Piano by Joncieres.
After the Interval, Robert Goldsack formally introduced the artists, and then made a few announcements about forthcoming concerts for the Robertson Village Music Society.
Gabriella and Belinda then played the Popular Spanish Suite for Violoncello and Piano by Manuel De Falla.
The final piece was by Weber - a Trio for Flute, Violoncello and Piano, in G Minor - Opus 63.
