ANAM Recital: Andrew Crothers (viola)
Wed 20 Sep 2023, 11 AM

ANAM Recitals are an opportunity for musicians to make their own personal musical statement, through performance, repertoire and presentation.

"The sunny atmosphere of Brahms E flat sonata often reminds me of my home in Perth. Taken from the clarinet, the Viola brings a warmth and sweetness that takes the work to place of absolute beauty. Prayer by Bloch, originally written for cello, induces a state of calm meditation that’s much needed before the romantic passion and drama of the Prokofiev to come. Romeo and Juliet was the first piece that enticed me to play the Viola, making it a fitting close to my final year at ANAM before embarking on the next step of my musical journey.” - Andrew Crothers
