Experience classical music in a deeper and more attentive way with the Dawson Society’s fourth instalment of their Wounded by Beauty series that combines classical performances with guided commentary.
The performance on Friday 20 March features Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Trio No. 3 in F minor, Op. 65, presented by Perth’s acclaimed Chimera Ensemble, in conjunction with a lecture and live musical commentary presented by Emeritus Professor John Kinder FAHA OSI.
The Chimera Ensemble piano trio brings together three of Perth’s most respected musicians: Rebecca Glorie (violin), Melinda Forsythe (cello), and Tommaso Pollio (piano).
Known for their expressive intensity, refined musicianship, and compelling ensemble unity, the trio brings freshness and depth to a wide range of chamber music, from familiar masterpieces to lesser-known works.
Each musician is an established performer and educator in their own right, and together they form one of Western Australia’s leading chamber ensembles.
John Kinder is Emeritus Professor of Italian at the University of Western Australia and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. A distinguished scholar and lecturer, he is widely admired for his ability to illuminate works of art by drawing out their philosophical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.
His Wounded by Beauty lectures are known for their depth, clarity, and capacity to transform the listening experience, discovering the structure, emotional depth, and expressive power of music.
