SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Bartók and Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:A brilliant concert for newcomers and classical buffs alike\, Benjamin Northey conducts this program featuring an evocative depiction of the Australian landscape\, an energetic romp through the countryside with Beethoven\, and the extraordinary talent of pianist Berta Brozgul. Join us to commemorate Ben’s 20th consecutive year of conducting the MSO at this celebratory performance! \n\nPeter Sculthorpe’s Kakadu takes its name from the National Park in the Northern Territory. In the composer’s words\, the work “is concerned with my feelings about this place\, its landscape\, its change of seasons\, its dry season and its wet\, its cycle of life and death.”\nBerta Brozgul takes on the solo role for Bartók’s lyrical Third Piano Concerto. Composed at the end of his life as a gift for his wife\, Bartók infused the work with Hungarian folk rhythm and themes.\nBeethoven’s Sixth Symphony – known as the Pastoral Symphony – is one of the few works by the composer with a ‘programmatic’ element\, with the music representing depictions of nature such as bird calls and a thunderstorm. Ben Northey made his MSO debut conducting this work in 2003\, making it the perfect piece to celebrate his long relationship with the Orchestra.\n\n\nThursday 02 November 2023:  7:30pm at Melbourne Town Hall\nFree Organ Recital Arrive early to enjoy a recital performed by Calvin Bowman on the mighty Grand Organ\, free for ticket holders.   2 November at 6.30pm\nFriday 03 November 2023: 7:30pm at Robert Blackwood Hall Duration: approx. 2 hours including interval\n*Please note: due to unforeseen circumstances\, the originally scheduled soloist and program for these performances have changed.  \nTICKETS: Standard $35-$105; Concession $30-$100; Child$20

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: French Delights
DESCRIPTION:Tair Khisambeev violin\nMatthew Tomkins violin\nFiona Sargeant viola\nElina Faskhi cello\nBen Hanlon double bass\nWendy Clarke flute\nDavid Thomas clarinet\nMelina van Leeuwen harp \nProgram\nRameau Pièces de clavecin en concerts: Concerto No.5\nDebussy (arr. Steele Johnson) Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune\nFrançaix Quintet for flute\, harp and string trio\nDebussy String Quartet\nRavel Introduction and Allegro \nAbout this performance\nExplore the evolution of intimate French chamber works from the baroque to the contemporary in this program curated by MSO Associate Principal Flute Wendy Clarke. \n\nBaroque composer Rameau wrote five ‘concerts’ – similar to the Italian ‘concerto’ for chamber ensemble – celebrating 18th century characters\, places\, and dances. Rameau’s Fifth Concerto is a delightfully charming step back in time to the world of French baroque.\nClaude Debussy’s sultry Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune depicts a faun ­­– half man\, half horse – waking languorously from a warm afternoon nap to contemplate his sensual\, dream-bound encounter with nymphs. By contrast\, the colours and textures Debussy creates in his String Quartet have a shimmering\, iridescent quality\, even in moments of moody darkness.\nHeavily influenced by the music of Ravel\, Jean Françaix’s Quintet for flute\, harp and string trio fuses his impressionist roots with neoclassical and modern idioms in this intriguing work.\nRavel’s Introduction and Allegro – scored for harp\, flute\, clarinet and string quartet – shows off the flowing beauty of the harp as an instrument. Fascinatingly\, there are sections of this vibrant and characterful work that sound like a whole orchestra as Ravel experimented with different musical textures.\n\nSunday 29 October 2023 11:00am at Iwaki Auditorium\nDuration: approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes including interval \nTICKETS: Standard $59 (Concession $54); General Admission

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Eumeralla\, A War Requiem For Peace
DESCRIPTION:“One day I hope to walk on that country and feel no restless spirit – just the strength of two thousand generations of lives lived and culture sustained.” \n\n\n\n\nSouthwest of Melbourne lies a battleground\, haunted with the memory of war and loss. The scars of the Eumeralla Resistance War (1840 – 1863) lie heavily upon the country. \n“I first walked on this battlefield in 2013. The voices of those lost were so loud that it woke something in me and my immediate response was music. A song. A Requiem. A War Requiem\, named in honour of one of the most brutal resistance wars fought on this continent.” \nEumeralla\, a war Requiem for peace brings into focus a period of Australia’s history that is yet to be fully understood. Written and composed by acclaimed Yorta Yorta soprano\, composer and Artistic Director of Short Black Opera\, Deborah Cheetham AO\, this requiem for peace\, will be sung entirely in the ancient dialects of the Gunditjmara people. \n“It is my hope that this requiem will help the spirits of those who fell to find a lasting peace and that we\, their descendants\, might find our way to deeper understanding of the legacy of these battles.” \n“Eumeralla\, a war requiem for peace will break the silence of so many decades and serve to amplify the importance of our nation’s shared history.” – Deborah Cheetham AO \n\nSaturday 14 Oct 7:30 PM         Running Time1 hour 15 minutes\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\nTICKETS: $55 – $97

SUMMARY:MSO Mornings: Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the arrival of Spring with American superstar violinist Esther Yoo under the baton of MSO Principal Guest Conductor Xian Zhang. \n\n\n\n\nThis program evokes the abundance of springtime\, featuring new beginnings and new life. \nSchumann wrote his Spring Symphony during the depths of a dark German winter as a pastoral homage to different aspects of the season. We hear its wondrous emergence out of snowy bleakness\, the special atmosphere of a springtime evening\, ‘merry playmates’\, and nature in full bloom at the height of its glory. \nAt the time of its composition\, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto was considered an innovative reinvention of the genre in the way it foregrounded the solo violin. Esther Yoo makes her mark on this sparkling\, turbulent\, and floridly virtuosic work – described in 1906 by violinist Joseph Joachim as ‘the heart’s jewel’ of violin concertos. \n\nFriday 8 Sep 11:00 AM    Running Time 1 hour\n\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \nTICKETS: $55 – $97

DESCRIPTION:Queensland Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici returns to lead the MSO in a program of orchestral favourites with an epic finale featuring the majestic grand organs of Melbourne Town Hall and Robert Blackwood Hall. \n\nDebussy’s famous Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) is a symphonic poem that some consider to be a turning point in music history\, as classical music entered the modern age.\nRavel’s Mother Goose is an idyllic evocation of childhood. Inspired by the fairy tale creators of the French Baroque\, the suite achieves its powerful emotional effect through the simple radiance of its poetic vision.\nSaint-Saëns’ thundering Organ Symphony is a stunning display of the visceral power of this colossal instrument.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - Brahms and Dvořák: Friends and Admirers
DESCRIPTION:Join the MSO and revered Spanish pianist under the baton of Jaime Martín for two works written by great composers inspired by their heroes. \n\n\n\n\nWritten in response to Robert Schumann’s attempted suicide (as he slowly fell in love at arm’s length with Schumann’s wife Clara while helping her to recover) Brahms’ deeply personal concerto takes inspiration from Bach and Beethoven before him\, and its premiere cemented Brahms’s reputation henceforth as the great ‘Third B’ in music history. \nDvořák’s Sixth Symphony is heavily inspired by the music of Brahms and Wagner\, along with his signature incorporation of elements from Bohemian folk music. Described as one of the most majestic in the symphonic literature\, its grand\, sweeping melodies take us on a journey ending in radiant\, sunny high spirits. \nPlease note: Paul Grabowsky’s new work will now be premiered on 18 November 2023 at Jaime Martín conducts Bruch and Dvořák. \n\n\n\nThursday 20 Jul 7:30 PM;  Saturday 22 Jul 2:00 PM     Running Time 2 hours (including interval)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$69 – $135

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: A Snapshot in Time: Elgar's Cello Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Travel back in time for this snapshot of Europe in 1918-1919\, when manifold compositional lineages collided with the life-changing events of the First World War. \n\n\n\n\nLili Boulanger was a child prodigy\, daughter of a Russian princess\, and the first woman to win the prestigious Prix de Rome composition prize. Her evocative and richly textured works D’un matin de printemps (Of a Spring Morning) and D’un soir triste (Of a Sad Evening) were written in 1918\, just before her death at only 24 and speak to genuinely thrilling musical genius cut tragically short. \nGet your tissues at the ready and join internationally-acclaimed Australian cellist Li-Wei Qin for one of the most divine\, lyrical\, and emotionally-stirring works of the 20th century – Elgar’s beloved Cello Concerto. \nBased on a commedia dell’arte play\, this suite from Prokofiev’s vibrant comic opera Love for Three Oranges is absurd escapism at its most playful\, inspired by Prokofiev’s courtship with wartime America. \nFrench impressionist Ravel’s La Valse musically plots the birth\, rise\, and decline of the Viennese waltz. Journeying from joyful buoyancy to chaotic and crazed destruction\, La Valse has often been interpreted as an allegory of Europe before\, during\, and in the direct aftermath of WWI. \n\n\n\n\nThursday 1 Jun 7:30 PM; Saturday 3 Jun\, 7:30 PM   Running Time 2 hours\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS:  \nThursday 1 June: Standard $75.00 – $135.00; Concession $70.00 – $130.00* \n\n\nSaturday 3 June: Standard $69.00 – $126.00; Concession $64.00 – $121.00*
