SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven Festival: Symphonies 4 & 6
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s two most feel-good symphonies make up the middle of our Festival fortnight. \n\n\n\n\nThe lightness of the Fourth and the escape to the country of the Sixth are musical self-care of the highest order! \nSchumann described Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony as ‘a slender Greek maiden between two Nordic giants’ – those giants being the heroic third and epic fifth symphonies. In contrast\, the Fourth’s dancing lightness gives it a quality akin to chamber music\, filled with gentle humour and elegant melodies. \nA keen rambler\, Beethoven’s joyful Pastoral Symphony takes its inspiration from nature. The composer takes us on a country walk to enjoy babbling brooks\, birdsong\, country dancing\, and caps it off with a thunderstorm. This peaceful invocation of open space\, sunshine\, and clean air is immersive\, musical escapism for city-dwellers at its finest. \n\n\n\n\nSaturday 23 November 7:30 PM\n\n\nRunning Time1 hour 40 minutes (including interval) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard $81.00 – $131.00\, Concession* $76.00 – $126.00\n\nGroups (10 or more) Standard $68.85 – $111.35; Concession* $64.60 – $107.10

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: American Stories: Bernstein\, Gershwin and more
DESCRIPTION:This performance of musical tales includes Australian composer Joe Chindamo’s unique concerto for trombone\, brought to life by Jonathon Ramsay. \n\n\n\n\nFavourites from American composers Barber\, Bernstein and Gershwin will put a spring in your step with their vivid dance rhythms in full orchestral glory. \nDiscover your deceptive side with Barber’s thriller-esque overture to Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s 18th century play The School for Scandal. \nJonathon Ramsay – currently Principal Trombone at the Berlin Philharmonic – performs Joe Chindamo’s Ligeia. Based on the short story by Edgar Allan Poe\, Chindamo explores psychological duality in this wildly virtuosic meditation on the macabre. \nBased on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and adapted by Stephen Sondheim\, Bernstein’s score to West Side Story is hailed as one of the most brilliant achievements in musical theatre history. His suite of Symphonic Dances is an orchestral romp through some of the most dynamic and moving themes\, including Somewhere and Maria. \nYou might be familiar with the movie-musical An American in Paris starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron\, or perhaps you saw the production that recently swept the Tonys on Broadway. It was this orchestral work by Gershwin – written more \nthan 20 years before the musical – that inspired Hollywood producers and prompted the development of a blockbuster. \n\nThursday 11 Apr\, 7:30 PM;  Saturday 13 Apr\, 2:00 PM\n\n\nRunning Time1 hour 40 minutes (including interval) \nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \nTICKETS: $75 – $139

SUMMARY:MSO Mornings: Bruch and Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:Renowned violinist Jack Liebeck has performed as a soloist with top orchestras around the world and here he performs Bruch’s virtuosic Violin Concerto. Full of soaring and seductive melodies\, it’s no wonder this work has become an audience favourite around the world. \n\n\n\n\nInspired by the folk music of Bohemia\, Czech composer Dvořák’s pastoral Fifth Symphony is a musical distillation of the landscape of his homeland and a joyful ode to its beauty\, quirks\, and natural features. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Violinist Jack Liebeck will perform Bruch’s Violin Concerto\, in place of the originally scheduled program of Maria Dueñas performing Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Dvořák’s Symphony No.5 replaces Maria Grenfall’s River Mountain Sky at this performance. \n\n\n\nFriday 17 Nov\, 11:00 AM     Running Time1 hour (no interval)\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\nTICKETS: $55 – $97

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Sibelius and Prokofiev - Love and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Music possesses a unique power to stir the emotions\, both good and bad – whether it be seducing via serenade or rallying support for nationalistic identity. The MSO welcomes illustrious French conductor Chloé van Soeterstède for this stellar program exploring music’s role in love and resistance. \nProkofiev’s playful and charming 1917 Classical Symphony was composed during a stay on a farm in the Russian countryside\, where he could work and walk in nature\, removed from the political turbulence of the Russian Revolution. Most symphonies at the time were emotionally-driven\, however Prokofiev railed against this\, instead taking inspiration from the classical structures of Mozart – cheeky humour\, classical craftsmanship\, beautiful melodies\, and a dash of dissonance make this one of Prokofiev’s best loved works. \nKnown for her melodious\, evocative\, and playful music\, MSO presents the world premiere of beloved Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Double Concerto for violin and cello. While a concerto is a work for solo instrument and orchestra\, a double concerto features two soloists – in this case\, MSO Concertmaster Dale Barltrop on the violin\, and MSO’s Rachael Tobin on cello. \nFinnish composer Jean Sibelius’s First Symphony was in many ways a diplomatic endeavour as much as a musical one. Performed at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 following its Finnish premiere\, this symphony\, with its longing clarinet song and uniquely deft harmonies\, became a symbol of peaceful resistance against Russian oppression – making the unequivocal declaration on the world stage that Finland had culture worth defending and preserving. \n\n\n\n\n\nFriday 27 Oct 7:30 PM; Saturday 28 Oct 2:00 PM   Running Time1 hour 50 minutes\n\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \nTICKETS: $69 – $121

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Prodigies
DESCRIPTION:MSO Concertmaster Dale Barltrop and Melbourne teenage legend Christian Li team up for this program celebrating prodigious musical talent.\nThe youngest ever recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for music\, American composer Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte for string orchestra curiously peers at tried-and-true classical forms through a contemporary lens. The result? Lyrical and playful\, with a touch of the absurd. \nIn a masterful display of virtuosity and musical maturity well beyond his years\, Mozart wrote his Violin Concerto No.3 while still a teenager at just 19. In a pairing of prodigious minds\, thrilling ARIA-nominated Australian violinist Christian Li (he’s still younger than Mozart was) performs this divine concerto. \nWhile Mendelssohn’s official First Symphony was written when he was 15\, he had in fact written thirteen already by the time he was 14\, which are not counted in the official numbering system. This Symphony announced Mendelssohn as a serious compositional voice in Europe. With its explosive opening and lyrical melodies\, it serves as a musical embodiment of the eagerness and energy of youth. \nPre-Concert Talk: Please join Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for a pre-concert talk in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall from 6.45pm – 7.10pm.\n\nSaturday 2 September 2023 7.30pm; MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 40 mins (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $105 ($100 Concession); A reserve $87 ($82 Concession); B reserve $65 ($60 Concession)\nC reserve $55 ($50 Concession) CURRENTLY SOLD OUT

SUMMARY:MSO: Reflected Light
DESCRIPTION:Join the MSO for this program of string-featured works connecting ancient and modern\, led by violist and chamber music curator Christopher Moore.\nWritten in Hollywood where Russian composer Stravinsky was being bombarded by new musical styles\, Concerto in D features a dizzying array of special playing techniques in this neoclassical exploration of the possibilities of a string orchestra. \nMSO Composer in Residence Mary Finsterer’s Lumen is ethereal and magical: a fantastical and vivid representation of the light of the first dawn inspired by 11th century poetry. \nBohemian composer Zelenka’s Sinfonia for 8 instruments shows off the emotional versatility of the baroque era\, as jaunty dance rhythms are set alongside sighing violins to pull at the heartstrings. \nRoutinely voted as one of the most beautiful pieces ever written\, Vaughan Williams’s sublime\, folk-inspired meditation on the music of Tudor composer Thomas Tallis is a lush and much-loved musical treat of sublime beauty. \nPre-Concert Talk: Please join MSO for a pre-concert talk in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall from 6.45pm – 7.05pm.\n\nThursday 27 July 2023 7.30pm;  MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall;  Duration: 1 hour 45 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $105 ($100 Concession); A reserve $87 ($82 Concession); bB reserve $65 ($60 Concession)\nC reserve $55 ($50 Concession)

DESCRIPTION:Dreams and nightmares collide in this truly epic concert of escapist fantasy. Under the baton of Jaime Martín\, the MSO is joined by the monumental forces of the MSO Chorus and 2023 Ensemble in Residence Gondwana Voices. \n\n\n\n\nDaughter of a Russian princess\, Lili Boulanger grew up in a claustrophobic world of expectation with music serving as her great escape. Psalm 129 begins with the text ‘they have oppressed me since my youth’ – a statement with great autobiographical resonances for this extraordinary composer. \nAustralian Brett Dean’s ‘social cantata’ Vexations and Devotions has been described as reflecting the ‘de-humanisation of contemporary life as exemplified by reality television\, automated answering services and meaningless corporate jargon’ (The Australian).

It follows the protagonist’s melodious\, energetically-heaving\, and sometimes horrifying fever dream of love\, death\, and the supernatural. \n\n\n\n\nFriday 14 Jul\, 7:30 PM;  Saturday 15 Jul\, 7:30 PM    Running Time 2 hours 10 minutes\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $69.00 – $121.00\, Concession $64.00 – $116.00*

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Northern Reflections: Sibelius and Shostakovich
DESCRIPTION:MSO Young Artist in Association Christian Li joins the MSO and Queensland Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici for a concert of thrilling works from north of the equator. \nFeaturing Sibelius and Shostakovich – plus Rossini’s galloping overture from William Tell.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Northern Reflections: Sibelius and Shostakovich
DESCRIPTION:MSO Young Artist in Association Christian Li joins the MSO and Queensland Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici for a concert of thrilling works from north of the equator. \nFeaturing Sibelius and Shostakovich – plus Rossini’s galloping overture from William Tell. Instantly recognisable and heavily quoted in pop culture\, the overture to Rossini’s 1829 opera William Tell was lauded by critics at the time as a symphony in and of itself with a poetic opening\, a storm\, pastoral scene\, and its famous galloping finale.\nShostakovich’s relationship with the Soviet Russian state had been tumultuous for many years by the time he began his sixth symphony.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Brahms’ Violin Concerto and more
DESCRIPTION:What do a bugle\, a bell tower\, and a child prodigy violinist have in common? Find out as the MSO explores a series of star-crossed summons and signals under the baton of Swiss-Australian conductor Elena Schwarz – formerly a prestigious Dudamel Fellow at the LA Philharmonic. \n\n\n\n\nAustralian 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. \nDestined for a musical life after being born in a Bohemian bell tower\, Martinů’s magical First Symphony traverses passages of bombastic character and mysterious quietness building to an explosion of orchestral colour. \nThe enduring success of Brahms’s 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. \n11 March 2023; 7.30pm | Hamer Hall; TICKETS: $69 – $121

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Strauss' Alpine Symphony\, Debussy and Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:o \nTravel with the MSO without leaving your seat in this odyssey through the German Alps\, Parisian streetscapes and Dandenong Ranges\, all under the baton of Jaime Martín. \n\n\n\n\nOne of Australia’s most rebellious composers\, Margaret Sutherland was ahead of her time and excelled in a male-dominated field at home and abroad. Her powerful work Haunted Hills is both a lush picture of the Dandenong Ranges and a reflection on the horrific mistreatment of the area’s traditional owners – the Bunurong and Woiworung people of the Kulin Nation – upon colonisation. \nThe impressionistic Ariettes Oubliées or Forgotten Songs are the musical equivalent of a Renoir or a Monet – inspired by subtlety and nuance\, and capturing snapshots in music through shifting harmony\, tone\, and musical colour. Musically eclectic yet recognisably ‘French’\, these songs demonstrate Debussy’s part in the development of an iconic French musical style\, recognisable today in the likes of Amélie’s Yann Tiersen. Hear Siobhan Stagg’s glorious interpretation. \nStrauss’s Alpine Symphony is often described as a ‘tone poem’ – a musical illustration of a story\, novel\, painting\, landscape\, or other non-musical source. Strauss loved rambling through the alps\, and this glorious work takes us on a musical hike over the course of a single day from sunrise to sunset. Sometimes easy with breath-taking views and glorious sunshine\, and sometimes difficult with dangerous terrain and weather\, it’s possibly the most spectacular (and easiest) way to get your step count up. \n\n\n\n\nThursday 2 Mar 7:30 PM; Friday 3 Mar 7:30 PM Running Time2 hours\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: Thursday 2 March Standard: $75.00 – $135.00; Concession: $70.00 – $130.00*\n\n\n\nFriday 3 March Standard: $69.00 – $121.00; Concession: $64.00 – $116.00* \n*Concession prices apply to Pensioners\, Full-time students\, Unemployed and Children under the age of 18
