For the fourth and final program in the 2019 series, Rachel Scott is joined by former teacher and cello great, David Pereira.
If you've been to a concert with David and Rachel before you'll know that you're in for a night of great musical conversation!
A critic said that Rachel and David's playing "has the feel of a celebration, of untempered, free and loose-limbed music-making, where lines are shaped by boldness..."
The program will include works by JS Bach, a piece written especially for the concert by David Pereira, and duos by Boccherini and Offenbach.
The concert will be held in the Courtroom of the Old Gunning Courthouse at 8pm on Saturday, October 19.

Markdale Open Garden
Markdale's garden is acknowledged as one of the great country gardens of Australia.
It was started in the 1920s and redesigned in 1949 by the pioneer of Australian landscape gardening, Edna Walling.
Spanning five acres, it has been featured in many books and magazines over the years and is synonymous with Walling's signature design - blending native plants and exotics, thyme lawns, informal garden pool, hand built paths, and integrating the house with a serene yet untamed garden.
This stunning garden will be opened to the public for viewing on Saturday, October 19, from 10am-4pm for $5 entry.
For more information, phone 0418 868 830 or email farmstay@markdale.com.
