Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music 2012

13/09/12 07:42 Filed in: Festival | Musician | Classical
Here we are again, an other fantastic Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music. This year it was also a celebration of this festival turning 21and what a great festival it was, packed with amazingly talented world class artists and musicians. The hills were definitely alive with the sound of music, fun and frivolity. It was great for us to catch up with some of the wonderful people that we have met on previous years and some new ones this year. It always strikes me how humble and down to earth most of these high profile musicians are. There was also a fashion parade with original designs by Emma Chandra. One of my favourites was Pastance, the beautiful harmonies with their Medieval, Baroque and even Renaissance pieces.

Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music 2011

15/09/11 13:29 Filed in: Festival | Musician | Classical
This years festival was a fabulous event - many people said it was the best ever! We had the pleasure of being their official photographers again. Musical highlights for us were performances by Ben Austin (one of the young virtuosi) the Cello Orchestra and of course the Camerata of St. Johns including the amazing world premiere of Tyalgum Dawn, a piece composed by Ann Carr-Boyd as a commission for this 20th Anniversary of the Festival. Kacey Patricks improvised voice solo still brings tears to our eyes. And here are some of our favourite photos from the weekend. If you’d like to see more go to our client galleries.

A wonderful weekend at the Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music

07/09/10 17:50 Filed in: Musician | Performance
Such a rich and full weekend of stunning performances, wonderful and friendly people as well as a visual feast! We were kept very busy trying to photograph every “nook and cranny” of the festival, as the piano tuner, Norman Appel, described it. As well, we were recording video and audio for the festival organisers, who should be congratulated for all their hard work and an amazing festival. Here are some of our favourite images - hundreds more can be viewed at the Client Galleries section of our website.



Tatiana Kolesova, the young Russian pianist with such a beautiful soul, was the headline act:






Some of the young virtuosi: Raphael Ebermann, Alison McKenzie, Ayesha Gough and Julien Rosendahl



Norman Appel, the piano and harpsichord tuner. Tania Frazer, who has been the principal oboe for Israel Opera and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.


Katherine Philp and her beautiful cello


Gareth Belling of the Queensland Ballet


David Pereira, who was kindly standing in with the Australia Ensemble @ UNSW for the festival. We hope he’ll be back next year!


Noel Stallard and Jack Drake, two of the very entertaining bush poets, as part of a fringe event held at the St. Johns Anglican Church


Two images of the Queensland Conservatorium Brass Ensemble

The Camerata of St. Johns gave us an exhilarating concert as well as some of our favourite images. To see more, please go to the client gallery section of this website
- hope you can get a taste of what this fantastic festival gave to all of us.

Classical Music

09/07/10 17:11 Filed in: Performance | Musician
Although we have taken many photos of musicians over the years, not many have been of classically trained musicians. So we were delighted to have the opportunity to photography the flautist Carmelia MacWilliam, using our garden and our section of Smiths Creek as the backdrop. We are also the official photographers for the Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music which will run for the 3rd to the 5th of September this year. What a chance to be immersed in great music at the same time as exploring all the visual possibilities.
