The Ilythian Ensemble played for the Robertson Village Music Society on Wednesday 27 May 2009. They were playing a mixture of classical and new "romantic " music.
Their musical presentation was lovely. It was complemented by soft lighting provided by candles (unfortunately, posing a terrible problem for the RVMS photographer). Examining reviews of the playing of the Ilythian Ensemble, I had to wade through a mass of florid prose and superlatives. One detects the hand of an enthusiastic publicist in their "media". None the less, I cannot disagree with this Review: "This ensemble has definitely marked a turning point in the overall deliverance and perception of classical music."
What the reviewers are ignoring is the obvious - beautiful young performers, playing beautiful old music and some beautiful new music as well. Chloe Charody is a composer, who has written some lovely, fresh and personal music, inlcuding one piece inspired by the death of a young child.
An example of her music may be played from the group's "MySpace" site
