Two musicians, Penelope Cashman and Kyle Stegall, have joined forces to create a new recital series, Magpie Recital Series, and pianist Penelope Cashman talks about their first concert., which is just the beginning of the series. There are more to come!

TeddyTahu Rhodes, who was part of the opera Innocence in this years Adelaide Festival, talks about the experience of being in this world -renown opera, as well as the particular impact it had on all involved, given the story line, music, and fine performances of all involved.

Magpie Recital Series is an initiative which will bring the special beauty of vocal music which comes under the title of art songs to Adelaide audiences. These include German lieder, but there are also songs in the French, British, and American repertoire, to name just a few other countries. In these songs the  pianist and singer work collaboratively, as Penelope Cashman explains. She has made a special study of this genre, in Australia, The Netherlands and Vienna.

The singer in this first recital is Kyle Stegall, a tenor from America, now living in Adelaide, whose voice, experience and technique allow him to excel in lieder and art songs. 

The first recital in this series is at Lever and Son Piano Showroom, 150 Payneham Road, Evandale, on Sunday 6 April at 4.00pm.

Teddy Tahu Rhodes

I reviewed this opera for 5mbs, butI found it a difficult review to write as I was so emotionally charged by the whole performance that I could not really find the words I needed to convey its effect on me. Hence I called in Teddy Tahu Rhodes who was there, on stage, to bring his unique perspective.
