Advocate For New Music Performs Old Masterpiece
Melbourne harpist Marshall McGuire, an avid promoter for new
music, joins the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in Caloundra to
perform an old masterpiece.
Mr McGuire will perform Boieldieu’s charming Harp Concerto with
the QSO at The Events Centre, Caloundra at 7pm on Friday 16
March. With guest conductor Nicholas Braithwaite, the Orchestra
will also perform Haydn’s Symphony No.88 and Elgar’s Enigma
Variations.This concert is Mr McGuire’s first performance in
Caloundra and he is looking forward to the experience of
performing Boieldieu’s Harp Concerto to a new audience.
“Obviously this audience loves its concerts and music making,
because the Orchestra travels there regularly, and I look forward
to playing this great piece for them.”
“Audiences in Australia are very passionate about their music,
and I enjoy meeting new audiences for the first time, and always
enjoy the
anticipation of playing for new people in new places. It's also a
great opportunity to introduce the harp to audiences who may not
have heard one up close before,” Mr McGuire said.
Mr McGuire is acclaimed as one of the world’s leading harpists in
contemporary and baroque repertoire. He is currently Director of
Artistic Planning at Orchestra Victoria and he is the founding
President of the New Music Network and a member of the Australian
Youth Orchestra Artistic Advisory Committee. Mr McGuire has
commissioned more than 30 new works for harp and in
