The Melbourne Athenaeum Library will be closed on Monday June 9 for the King's Birthday public holiday.
This concert is a rare chance to hear live some of the fascinating chamber works by Joseph Haydn for baryton.
The magnificent baryton, an instrument similar to a bass viol, was the favourite instrument of Haydn's employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy. Haydn composed over 130 works for it, the majority of which are for baryton, viola and cello - the so-called 'Baryton Trios'. The commission of a new baryton in 2023 - the only one in Australia - enables the Gryphon Baryton Trio to share this very special music with Australian audiences.
The trio draws on the combined experience of Laura Vaughan (baryton), Katie Yap (classical viola) and Josephine Vains (classical cello).
The performance will be held on Friday 4 July with doors opening at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm performance. This event is free for members and $20 for non-members. Bookings can be made through Trybooking using this link.
