Anthony Marwood and James Crabb

Internationally acclaimed soloists and renowned duo partners Anthony Marwood and James Crabb are no strangers to UKARIA: their imagination, virtuosity and generous musicianship have long cast a spell in the venue’s intimate space. In this program, the duo is joined by frequent collaborator and double bassist Rohan Dasika (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra), as well as a string quartet of next-generation talent from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), to present a program that speaks to their unique musical partnership and interests. The afternoon’s musical itinerary sallies forth from Scottish folk song to a Haydn double concerto, from music by the renowned contemporary British composer Sally Beamish, to Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending as you have never heard it before.

Join us for a memorable collaboration and the latest chapter in Anthony Marwood and James Crabb’s long friendship with UKARIA.
