“I’ve just been serenaded and fallen in love. I’m not normally so easily smitten, but I’ve had the pleasure of attending the Independent Theatre in North Sydney: Prelude in Tea Series, and the performance by the Jose Carbo Trio: L’Heure Exquise (The Exquisite Hour) was simply divine. Performing the classical music of Verdi, Debussy, Schubert and many others, the Trio collaborated to reimagine and rewrite classical pieces – typically written for piano or orchestra – to be performed by two guitars. The result was a unique and spectacular tour-de-force event, the likes of which has never been heard before. It was a unique opportunity to experience classical music in the intimate and elegant surrounds of North Sydney’s beautiful Independent Theatre, and the experience was topped off with an extensive and delicious afternoon tea.”
