SUMMARY:Intermezzo: Impressions @ NERAM
DESCRIPTION:Following its warmly received debut\, Intermezzo returns with Impressions—an afternoon recital celebrating the connection between music and the visual arts. \nJoin Opera Australia mezzo-soprano Ruth Strutt and acclaimed singer and pianist Donna Balson at NERAM for an intimate performance in the inspiring surroundings of one of regional Australia’s finest galleries.
