MSO Mornings: Brahms’ Violin Concerto
March 10, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Australian composer Natalie Williams’ music has been performed by the likes of the MSO, Atlanta Opera, Berkeley Symphony, and Musica Viva. Fourth Alarm (2013) expands a short Australian Army bugle call into a vivid work for orchestra – at once an expressive call to arms and a pressing, rhythmic warning of danger.
The enduring success of Brahms’ knockout Violin Concerto was in no small way influenced by a fated musical encounter with violinist Joseph Joachim when Brahms was only fourteen. Years later, they became friends, and this concerto was written especially for Joachim, who had a significant hand in its composition.
International powerhouse violinist Clara-Jumi Kang puts her distinctive musical stamp on this astonishing work.
Friday 10 Mar 11:00 AM; Arts centre Melbourne, Hamer Hall
