SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra – Tognetti. Mendelssohn. Bach
DESCRIPTION:Sparks fly and melodies soar when Richard Tognetti directs music close to the ACO’s heart.\nThe Australian Chamber Orchestra is one of the most acclaimed chamber orchestras in the world and is renowned for their inspired programming\, unrivalled virtuosity\, energy and individuality. Under the direction of Artistic Director Richard Tognetti\, they take audiences on the adventure to create truly transformative experiences. \nOne of the great prodigies\, Mendelssohn wrote his sunny Octet at just 16 years of age. It’s one of the most loved pieces of chamber music ever written and a favourite of the ACO. In their hands\, its youthful exuberance just about leaps off the stage. \nIf Mendelssohn is pleasure\, then Bach is worship. \nThat is an altar to which Richard Tognetti will return to again and again. His recordings of Bach’s violin music won three successive ARIA Awards. Live\, his interpretation of the great Violin Concerto in A minor is a powerful experience: intimate and electrifying. \nLike all the best performances\, this concert will remind you of why you love music. \n\nSaturday 7 & Monday 9 September 2024 7.30pm \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 1 hour 40 mins (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $150 ($139 Concession); A reserve $134 ($123 Concession); B reserve $114 ($104 Concession); C reserve $83 ($73 Concession); D reserve $49\nUnder $35; Student $25 \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra – Tognetti. Mendelssohn. Bach
DESCRIPTION:Sparks fly and melodies soar when Richard Tognetti directs music close to the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s heart. \n\n\n\n\nMendelssohn’s music is pure pleasure. One of the great prodigies\, he wrote his sunny Octet at just 16 years of age. It’s one of the most loved pieces of chamber music ever written and a favourite of the ACO. In their hands\, its youthful exuberance just about leaps off the stage. \nMoving from one young genius to another: the ACO presents a new commission from trailblazing young composer Jakub Jankowski in his first work for string orchestra. Hailing from Adelaide\, he’s a fresh voice in classical music. Opening the program\, Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s pulsating octet Illumine makes a striking contrast with the Mendelssohn. \nIf Mendelssohn is pleasure\, then Bach is worship. \nBach sought God in his music and became like a god for musicians\, a touchstone to which all other music is compared. His music is filled with drama\, joy and remarkable discipline. Hearing it\, playing it\, is an act of worship. \nThat is an altar to which Richard Tognetti will return to again and again. His recordings of Bach’s violin music won three successive ARIA Awards. Live\, his interpretation of the great Violin Concerto in A minor is a powerful experience: intimate and electrifying. \nLike all the best performances\, this concert will remind you of why you love music. \n\nSunday 8 Sep 2:30 PM    Running Time 2 Hours\n\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\n\n\nTICKETS: $25 – $150

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: Silence & Rapture
DESCRIPTION:A mesmerising collaboration with Sydney Dance Company featuring countertenor Iestyn Davies and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt. \nComposing three centuries apart\, Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt’s timeless music speaks to the human soul. From rockstars and writers to artists and filmmakers\, these composers are revered by music lovers across genres and generations. The last time the Australian Chamber Orchestra performed their music together\, it was a sell-out. \nRichard Tognetti directs this mesmerising collaboration between the ACO and Sydney Dance Company that brings together music\, movement and evocative lighting to create something truly extraordinary. \nExpressing the luminous longing at the heart of this music is choreography from Rafael Bonachela\, Artistic Director Sydney Dance Company\, while Gramophone Award-winning countertenor Iestyn Davies\, whose performances have been described as “a pleasure that verges on the sublime” (The Guardian) makes his Australian debut\, bringing these stirring melodies to life. \nBach and Pärt’s music is rooted in human experience while reaching towards the divine. This program traces a profound journey through three Gardens at the heart of the Biblical narrative they both hold so close: from the hope and temptation of the Garden of Eden to the tragedy and passion of the Garden of Gethsemane\, ascending into the Garden of Heaven and\, at last\, the meditation of silence. Featuring Part’s Fratres and selections from Bach’s most loved cantatas\, orchestral and solo music\, this promises to be a season highlight and a deeply affirming experience. \nSunday 11 August 2:30 PM\nRunning Time: 2 Hours \nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \nTICKETS: $25 – $135

SUMMARY:Altstaedt Plays Haydn and Tchaikovsky
DESCRIPTION:The world-renowned cellist and master storyteller makes his ACO debut as soloist and guest director. \nWhen the cello sings\, we hear something akin to the human voice: sensuous\, rich\, profound. When Nicolas Altstaedt holds the bow\, the cello is all that and more\, becoming a master storyteller. \nIt’s been more than a decade since the young cellist burst onto the world stage as a BBC New Generation Artist\, with his unruly curls\, unorthodox concert attire and pure talent. Since then\, he’s piled up musical accolades from the stages of New York\, London and beyond. Now is your chance to see his Australian Chamber Orchestra debut as both director and soloist. \nHaydn’s Cello Concerto in C major is such an audience favourite\, it’s hard to believe it was nearly lost to history. Found in a Prague library just 60 years ago\, the score reveals Haydn’s gift for invention. For all his form and symmetry\, Haydn was a visionary\, breaking musical boundaries with each new work. Two centuries later\, his influence is still felt in the music of 20th-century masters Xenakis and Kurtág. \nTchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations hark back to the classical style of Haydn from a completely different musical world. These enchanting variations for cello and orchestra are by turns virtuosic and lyrical\, and will be performed in a new arrangement for cello and strings. \nThe spirit and jubilation of Haydn is matched by the thrilling energy and wistful defiance of Four Transylvanian Dances by the Hungarian-born Sándor Veress. Written as an ode to a home he could never return to\, they remind us that\, for all its Classical elegance\, Haydn’s music was steeped in the same folk-infused Hungarian rhythms. \nAltstaedt’s debut will showcase the many voices of his cello along with the vitality and dynamism of the ACO. This promises to be a very special collaboration. \nSunday 23 June 2:30 PM; Monday 24 June 7:30 PM\nRunning Time: 2 Hours \nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \nPrice range\nStandard $49.00 – $150.00\nConcession*$49.00 – $139.00\nUnder 35 (A-D Reserve)$35.00\nStudent (B Reserve only)$25.00\n*Concession include Veterans’ Affairs pensioners\, Centrelink-issued Pension and Commonwealth Healthcare cardholders.

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: Dvořák's Serenade
DESCRIPTION:Give yourself over to this spirited journey featuring the sublime and visceral music of Dvořák and Bartók. \n\n\n\n\nBohemianism is both an idea and an ideal. It stands for unconventionality and the artistic life. At the same time\, it’s nostalgic for the smell of the earth. It craves something real and true. \nWho better than the Australian Chamber Orchestra to lead you on this journey? \nBartók’s passion for the folk music of his native Hungary is visceral. The themes and rhythms from the rural past infuse his Fifth String Quartet with sinew and bite in a new arrangement for string orchestra. Dvořák’s sublime Serenade\, one of the most loved pieces of music for string orchestra\, summons the feeling of warm sun on your back and the wistful remembrance of other times and places. \nBartók and Dvořák are in fine company with the Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Caroline Shaw. Like Dvořák\, a love of dance permeates her music\, with the dizzying range of her many artistic collaborations animating every bar. \n\n\n\n\nSunday 13 Aug\, 2:30 PM; Monday 14 Aug\, 7:30 PM\nRunning Time1 hour 40 minutes (including 20 minute interval)\n\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $49.00 – $139.00; Concession* $49.00 – $129.00; Under 35 (A – D Reserve) $35.00\n\n\nStudent (B – D Reserve) $25.00

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: A Clockwork Orange and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Cult films\, synthesisers and an age of innovation\, featuring the iconic film scores of Wendy Carlos and more.\nMusic and image are inextricable in cinema. Blade Runner\, Solaris\, A Clockwork Orange. You see and hear them. Most of all\, you remember the way they made you feel. \nWe go to the movies to explore the innovations that shaped a generation of trailblazing composers and their unique sound worlds for the screen. Joining the ACO is electronic artist Will Gregory\, co-founder and member of internationally revered English electronic music duo Goldfrapp\, and an ensemble of Moog Synthesisers. \nPioneers Wendy Carlos and Delia Derbyshire opened the floodgates in the 1960s. Carlos interpreted Bach for the electronic age with Switched-On Bach while Delia Derbyshire gave Australian composer Ron Grainer’s theme for Doctor Who its indelible sci-fi sound. \nA Clockwork Orange is as much Carlos’s film as Stanley Kubrick’s.

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: A Clockwork Orange and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Cult films\, synthesisers and an age of innovation\, featuring the iconic film scores of Wendy Carlos and more.\nMusic and image are inextricable in cinema. Blade Runner\, Solaris\, A Clockwork Orange. You see and hear them. Most of all\, you remember the way they made you feel. \nWe go to the movies to explore the innovations that shaped a generation of trailblazing composers and their unique sound worlds for the screen. Joining the ACO is electronic artist Will Gregory\, co-founder and member of internationally revered English electronic music duo Goldfrapp\, and an ensemble of Moog Synthesisers. \nPioneers Wendy Carlos and Delia Derbyshire opened the floodgates in the 1960s. Carlos interpreted Bach for the electronic age with Switched-On Bach while Delia Derbyshire gave Australian composer Ron Grainer’s theme for Doctor Who its indelible sci-fi sound. \nA Clockwork Orange is as much Carlos’s film as Stanley Kubrick’s.

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: Mozart Sinfonia Concertante
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Britten and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reach out to one another across the centuries in profound and deeply moving communion.\nMozart’s wondrous Sinfonia Concertante intertwines violin and viola soloists in a partnership of equals. They speak to one another of beauty\, loss\, consolation and\, finally\, exaltation. Our Principal Viola\, Stefanie Farrands\, makes her ACO concerto debut\, joining Richard Tognetti for this exquisite\, unforgettable masterpiece. \nBritten idolised Mozart from boyhood. He visited Salzburg to retrace his footsteps and it’s where Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge premiered. Britten wrote with ease to capture Bridge’s integrity\, wit\, energy and gaiety. \nBritten\, like Mozart\, was gifted beyond his years and had an instinct for timeless musical expression. This extraordinary elixir of youth and wisdom can be heard in his Elegy\, written by the composer when he was just 16 (coincidentally the same age at which Mozart wrote his Divertimento in D major). We give Britten’s work its long-awaited Australian premiere. \nProgram \nBenjamin Britten Elegy for Strings – Australian Premiere \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat – arr. strings \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Divertimento in D \nBenjamin Britten Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge \n\nMonday 16 & Saturday 21 May 2022\, 7.30pm \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $131 ($112 Concession)\nA Reserve $118 ($100 Concession)\nB Reserve $97 ($82 Concession)\nC Reserve $71 ($60 Concession)\nD Reserve $49 ($49 Concession) \nGroup 10+\nPremium $114\nA Reserve $106\nB Reserve $90\nC Reserve $63\nD Reserve $37 \nUnder 30\n$39 \nStudent\n$25 \n\n\n\n
