A GREAT SUCCESS
KOWMUNG MUSIC FESTIVAL 2001 MEDIA RELEASE, 24th April 2001
The fifth Kowmung Music Festival was a resounding success with over 700 music lovers enjoying four exceptional concerts in the rustic settings around the Oberon
district.
Festival Coordinator, Hartmut Boedefeld, said he was very pleased with the attendance and that the audiences had been delighted by the performances of the leading musicians from across the
globe. |

The highlight of the Festival was the first performances in Australia by acclaimed duo pianists Eduard and Johannes Kutrowatz from
Vienna. The audience was delighted by the exceptional performance of these world-renowned pianist brothers at the Middle Creek Cattle Shed in Oberon on an imported Bösendorfer
3 meter Imperial Grand Piano. |
Another highlight of the Festival was the concert held at Marble Hall at St Stanislaus’ College in Bathurst where the performance of Schubert’s ‘Trout’ was said by some to be the best rendition they had
heard.
The Festival was made possible through the widespread support of the ‘Friends of the Festival 2001’ as well as a grant from the New South Wales Government, Ministry for the Arts; the Austrian Government who brought the Kutrowatz duo from Austria to Australia and the Bösendorfer Piano Fabrik GmbH, Vienna who supplied the grand piano. |

(Violin), Anton Schoeder (French Horn), and Emma West (Violin) from
Australia.
They performed a selection of pieces from Mozart, Takemitsu, Newsome, Beethoven,
Devienne, Prokofiev, Kerry, Dvorak, Schubert, Brahms, Liszt and Pärt.
“We are very encouraged by the success of this years Festival and will continue to build upon its obvious
popularity. We plan to record next year’s Festival and are soon to approach sponsors to join us in producing a CD,” said Mr.
Boedefeld.
“We look forward to some more great ‘music in the wild’ in the Kowmung Music Festival 2002. Thanks to all our supporters in the local
