If music be the food of love, Coriole has the wine flights to match. Set among the extensive rolling vineyards of McLaren Vale, the festival has been pairing delectable comestibles and chamber music for a quarter of a century, and 2024\u2019s menu explores the notion of \u2018home\u2019. Homebirds include Peter Sculthorpe and Vaughan Williams, Golijov and Silvestrov; the last word falls to Olli Mustonen\u2019s pithy Nonetto II.<\/p>
Australian Festival of Chamber Music<\/p>
Townsville, Australia, 26 July \u2013 4 August<\/p>

Where else can you find an island concert with whale watching, and \u2013 tissues at the ready \u2013 a heartrending Schubertian double-bill pairing the String Quintet with Die sch\u00f6ne M\u00fcllerin<\/em>? It can only be violinist Jack Liebeck\u2019s distinctive Queensland festival. With no fewer than seven living \u2018composers-in-focus\u2019, a Sunset Series that cuts Shostakovich down to size and makes free with Purcell\u2019s Fairy Queen<\/em>, and a fond farewell to quartet-in-residence the Goldners, action-packed doesn\u2019t begin to do it justice. Add in a couple of didgeridoos, the multi-tasking of Brett Dean, plus clarinettist Julian Bliss, and Townsville twinkles.<\/p>Best classical music festivals 2024: Australia<\/h2>

Western Cape, South Africa, 10-12 May<\/p>

The neighbouring villages of Greyton and Genadendal are in celebratory mood as their resolutely inclusive festival notches up its 20th birthday. Old musical friends return, and new artistic friendships are forged. Cape Town Baroque Orchestra takes a dive into the late Baroque alongside Vivaldi and Corelli; pianists Fran\u00e7ois du Toit and Isaac van der Merwe team up for four-handed Schubert; and the Da Cape\u2019O string quartet criss-crosses eastern Europe en route to \u2018Hungarian\u2019 Brahms.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
