Last Blues
Continuum Sax and Match
Percussion with
Special guests Natsuko Yoshimoto and Roland
Peelman
The world
premiere of Brian Howard’s Last Blues brings together
an ensemble of Australia’s most influential and
talented exponents of new music. Continuum Sax are joined
by MATCH percussion, conductor Roland Peelman and violinist
Natsuko Yoshimoto presenting a rare opportunity to hear the
work of one of Australia’s most respected composers.
Brian Howard’s Last Blues, borrowing its title from
Cesare Pavese’s evocative poem, invokes memory and
loss through a compelling and yet fragile dialogue between
the violin and ensemble. This intriguing and innovative
concert also features the exuberant Bagatelles by György
Ligeti and new works by Margery Smith and Mary Finsterer.
Supported by ABC Classic FM.
PERFORMERS: Natsuko Yoshimoto violin,
Daryl Pratt and Alison Eddington percussion, Christina
Leonard, James Nightingale, Martin Kay, Jarrod Whitbourn
saxophones and Roland Peelman conductor.

News:
At the Winterscenario concert in October 2009 it was
announced that founding member Margery Smith
would be leaving Continuum
Sax. Continuum Sax will continue to have a strong
connection with Margery and will commission a new work
from her for their 2010 concert season. We hope to work
with Margery on specific projects in the future and wish
her every success.
A new energy comes to Continuum Sax
with Christina Leonard,
a classical saxophonist
with a wealth of experience and performer of the highest
level, who will take the soprano saxophone chair from
the Winterscenario concert. This is an exciting
development for the group and we hope that there will be
many great opportunities for our fans to hear us in
2010.
