A commanding, trailblazing oboist at the top of her musical game.

Oboist Diana Doherty is a commanding trailblazer, transporting audiences through time and space with her innate musical sensibility and internationally acclaimed artistry. Principal Oboe of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra since 1997, Doherty is in global demand as a soloist, performing with the New York, Liverpool and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras, Ensemble Kanazawa in Japan, major Australian and New Zealand orchestras, festivals and more. A champion of new music, she has premiered works by notable Australian composers including Graeme Koehne, Ross Edwards and Carl Vine.

Bernadette Harvey is a solo pianist and master teacher whose performances and recordings have received outstanding praise throughout her varied career. A Senior Lecturer in Piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Harvey is a fellow champion of Australian composition and the recipient of the Centenary Medal for her contribution to Australian music.

In this concert, Diana unites with pianist Bernadette Harvey to perform an expansive program that traverses the balanced Baroque of Telemann to Berio’s thrilling Sequenza VII. Together they display a captivating mastery of chamber music, leaving audiences enlivened and energised.

'What a privilege to have this opportunity to share with you music that is beautiful and meaningful to me, in such a beautiful and meaningful setting. As I reflect on what it is that music brings to our lives I see that in so many ways, UKARIA itself is the embodiment of those things – togetherness, curiosity, self-expression, exchange, reflection, imagination, emotion, understanding, learning, awareness, wonder, and the list goes on.

So I have tried to touch on all those things in this program, embracing a variety of styles and forms in the hope that together, audience and performers, we can create a special moment in time and place which sends us back out into the world buoyed, recharged and revitalised in our trust and belief in the essential beauty of the human spirit.'

– Diana Doherty, curator

My audience will be irresistibly drawn into deep appreciation for these new works through the commentary of the composers and my demonstration.

The Fazioli concert grand on which I will play provides me with all the colour, the clarity of tone and robustness required of the music to bring them to life. It is truly a beautiful instrument.

A most exciting aspect of the first Sonata Project concert is the convergence of a variety of leading Australian creative minds. I have a most visionary and enterprising support team that is overseeing the concert’s development and ensuring its success. Together, we will recreate an atmosphere of joy and excitement for the future of music and live performance that people experienced in the salon concerts of the romantic-composer pianists of the past.

And finally, I have recorded all these works to a CD called Crossing Boundaries. It is produced by Tall Poppies and will be launched on the night! Thank you to Peter Rejto, my engineer and Belinda Webster, my producer.
