SUMMARY:Melbourne Youth Orchestras – Triumph of the Human Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Captivating folk-inspired program by Melbourne Youth Orchestra.\nInfused throughout with joyous musical echoes of Russia’s religious and peasant past\, Borodin’s popular Symphony No.2 is a bold and brilliant work; the perfect vehicle for MYO’s passionate young musicians. \nTogether with Sibelius’ Karelia Suite\, it will create a concert overflowing with melody\, pageantry\, and power. Both works are much loved for capturing an exquisite balance of folk-like simplicity\, dazzling orchestral sonority\, and the sheer magic of the orchestral experience. It was said of Borodin and this work. \nNo musician has ever claimed immortality with so slender an offering. Yet if there be immortalities in music\, his claim is incontestable. \n\nSunday 28 April 2024 5.30pm; MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $40 ($30 Concession); Student $20
