1. Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective
Original programming has become a hallmark of the Collective’s identity, one that has garnered the versatile ensemble highly positive reviews and a substantial following. Set amongst familiar works in a programme with an overall Eastern European/folk-influenced theme is a 1925 piece by the increasingly admired Croatian Dora Pejačević.

2. Glowing colours and grand passions
Revolutions aren’t always noisy – and as the world around them broke up in war and turmoil, Dora Pejačević and Karol Szymanowski let their imaginations soar, creating beauty that still thrills and ravishes today. The young Strauss pictures eternity, and Richard Wagner writes a wordless poem to the love of his life: music so intimate that it almost feels as if we shouldn’t be listening.
