Music at Woolmers: Dancing with the Wind

‘Dancing with the Wind’ draws inspiration from the natural world, blending evocative chamber music with the heritage atmosphere of Woolmers Estate.

This final performance in the 2026 Music at Woolmers series celebrates the connection between music, nature, and place — a fitting close to the season within one of Australia’s most significant heritage properties.

Joe Chindamo’s Trio Fantastique (2022) sparkles with character, with its tango, waltz, and tarantella evoking Parisian nightlife while honouring France’s woodwind tradition and nodding to Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique.

Poulenc’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (1962), written for Benny Goodman in his final year, combines wit, elegance and late-style poignancy, shifting between musical brilliance and lyricism.

Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds (1784), for piano, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn marries symphonic breadth with conversational intimacy.

Bookings are recommended as seating is limited.
