The festival opens with heavenly Schubert, and then diverts swiftly to Jörg Widmann's eclectic and varied musical landscape encompassing Dixieland, impressionism, Sprechgesang, movie music, Bavarian marches and Bach chorales – and provides a startling context for cellist Coleman Itzkoff's Australian debut. Mendelssohn, a favourite composer of Widmann's, is represented by his impassioned F minor quartet, written in a fervour of grief after his sister's death. Bach's "appeal for mercy" from St Matthew Passion provides a musical and spiritual balm.
