Experience the Enlightenment through Mozart, Haydn & Gluck
PERTH 23 JANUARY | BUNBURY 24 JANUARY | BRIDGETOWN 25 JANUARY
Optimism! Discovery! The need for new frontiers! Australia is a living result of the ideas of the Enlightenment. To experience it today, you need to feel the full force of its music. Beginning with Mozart, Haydn and Gluck.
This summer, the Australian Classical Era Orchestra will bring these three giants of the Enlightenment to life in Western Australia.
Mozart’s Horn Concerto in D major, with the brilliant Natural Horn Soloist Darryl Poulsen, will inspire you. The transparency of the string and wind sections demands exacting accuracy. Mozart takes his horn player and his audience on a thrilling adventure.
Haydn’s Symphony No. 67 pushes your expectations of what normal music is. It may not be comfortable, but then he believes progress never is.
Gluck brings you the intensity of Lust, Fire and the Horrors of Hell itself as he takes you down into the netherworld with Don Juan.
The Australian Classical Era Orchestra is passionate about authentically recreating music from the Classical Era of 1740 to 1830. All the musicians perform on period instruments, or their replicas, displaying the depth of talent in Western Australian.

About the Artistic Director
- Tim Blomfield
- Tim founded the Australian Classical Era Orchestra in November 2005. He is also Artistic Director of Salut! Baroque ensemble which he founded in 1995 with recorder player, Sally Melhuish. With Salut! Baroque, he has made seven CD recordings and enjoyed working with such international artists as Jaap ter Linden and Elizabeth Wallfisch.
Tim's fascination with 17th & 18th century historic (violoncello) performance and repertoire began in 1984 when graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. He explored this further with Jaap ter Linden at the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague, and in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Since 1997, Tim has also specialised in performance on the basse de violon or bass violin and is sole exponent of this instrument in Australia. He has an active early music teaching studio and presents early music string workshops for the Australian Strings Association.
Tim plays a replica of a David Tecchler (Rome 1723) violincello, built by John Hall, Sydney, in 1983.
