In their latest lunchtime program Close to Home, Flametree takes you on a guided tour of Australian Art Song, featuring composers most closely associated with the artists.
Close to Home is the first in a series of all-Australian program programs Flametree is developing to showcase the breadth of vocal writing in this country, both historic and contemporary.
Presented in their usual relaxed and engaging style, join Nicole, Jenny and Jo for a delightful program of songs and stories.
Works by Katy Abbott, Don Banks, Nigel Butterley, Peter Dart, Ross Edwards, Andrew Ford, Stuart Greenbaum, Dulcie Holland, Claire Jordan, Ruth McCall, Kate Reid, Peter Sculthorpe, Margaret Sutherland, Alan Tregaskis, Martin Wesley-Smith and Sally Whitwell.

Flametree is Nicole Thomson soprano, Jenny Duck-Chong mezzo-soprano and Jo Allan piano
Flametree is passionately committed to the presentation of appealing recitals in intimate settings. Each new program encompasses a wealth of repertoire spanning several centuries, woven together with introductions to highlight key themes.
Flametree was created so we could share our joy in music and music-making with everyone – both those who may know the works and composers well and those who are just discovering them. We hope there will always be something new to experience, alongside the joy of old favourites.
Australian Art Song Resource
Soprano Nicole Thomson and mezzo soprano Jenny Duck-Chong are developing the Australian Art Song Resource, in order to provide a practical toolkit to assist teachers and students of singing looking for new Australian repertoire. Their initial survey, to members of the Australian National Association of Teachers of Singing (ANATS), has provided fascinating data to develop the first stage of this resource.
