Sydney’s talented Omega Ensemble is joining creative forces with classical accordion virtuoso James Crabb for the first time at City Recital Hall Angel Place.
As the first of their resident Virtuoso Series, Omega Ensemble will collaborate with Crabb in their performance, A Night of Tango. The performance aims to stir and tantalise the senses through the evocative and romantic nature of Spanish music.
Omega Ensemble’s artistic director, David Rowden, is both excited and thrilled to be collaborating with Crabb, “He is one of the world’s most talented exponents of the classical accordion. He completely draws you into his world and it’s such an honour to be working with him.”
He continues, “The classical accordion is such an incredible instrument – it’s like an entire orchestra in a box basically.”
Rowden, who established the ensemble in 2005 alongside ten other young musicians, is passionate about the ensemble and the collaboration. He explains that Omega Ensemble brings a youthful energy to classical chamber music and encourages even the most musically inept to attend.
“I hope that the energy we bring onstage convinces people to attend more classical music concerts.”
With over nine years of experience together, an upcoming album set to launch in March, and a sold out first performance, Omega Ensemble should not to be missed. (EC)
