On the eve of ANZAC Day, the Flowers of War has a special treat for those who might like to attend a concert to hear FS Kelly's D minor Violin Sonata and Somme Lament. This will be the first modern performance of the Sonata since 1901 after Kelly composed the work in Sydney in response to his father's death.

David Wickham, piano and Chris Latham, violin will be paying tribute to Kelly's genius as a remarkable musician, rower and soldier. Kelly's works feature in the Flowers of the Great War Collection and this concert is another step towards his recognition as the greatest cultural loss of WWI.

David Wickham has a research Fellowship with the National Library of Australia to recover lost works from its archives and to edit them for publication. This concert is the first in a series of three that David is performing in while in residence from Perth. More details will be released about the May 5 and May 7 concert in the near future.

We hope you can join them for this moving concert:
