‘Songs and Dances’ for is a celebration of music written for the solo cello – it’s an afternoon of music with something for everyone! Presented by Sydney-based cellist Rachel Scott, you’ll hear dances by J.S. Bach from the beautiful first solo suite. There’ll be a song celebrating the traditional owners of the Jerrinja land from the NSW South Coast written by Australian composer Martin Wesley-Smith, music that’ll make you want to tap your toes from the Appalachian region of North America, and an arrangement of the Catalan folk song ‘Song of the Birds’ written especially for Rachel by M.B. Sibson – and a sunny musical surprise at the end of the concert!

Expect to hear music you know, music you’ll have not heard before (but will definitely want to hear again!), music that will make your heart slow, and music that’ll make you want to dance!
