Robert Constable
Robert Constable's piano anchors Australian violin-and-piano repertoire from Sculthorpe, Banks and Sutherland to his own Jewel, while Medea gives violin and cello a chamber drama held back for decades.
With violin he built programmes that treat Australian duo writing as living concert music, not archive filler: works shaped with the composers themselves, from Whiticker and Plush to Wesley-Smith's Beta Globin DNA. Jewel sits among those scores as his own contribution to the set. Medea, left in a bottom drawer for more than thirty years, finally speaks in spare violin-and-cello lines. The through-line is practical and musical: pieces meant to be played, argued over, and heard.
