SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: River
DESCRIPTION:A cinematic odyssey exploring the waterways that have shaped our world\, in all their majesty and fragility.\nFor millions of years\, rivers shaped landscapes and sustained communities.

Downstream\, the changes can be catastrophic. \nACO Artistic Director Richard Tognetti and Director Jennifer Peedom follow their acclaimed Mountain with this cinematic exploration of the waterways that have shaped our world. On-screen\, the rivers flow in rhythm and harmony with music from outstanding composers. The result is an awe-inspiring combination of timeless music\, captivating cinematography\, and distinctive narration from Academy Award™ winner Willem Dafoe. \n\nSaturday 3 and Monday 5 February 2024\, 7.30pm;  MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $166; A reserve $161 ($150 Concession); B reserve $135 ($125 Concession)\nC reserve $104 ($97 Concession); D reserve $59

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: Chopin and the Mendelssohns
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Polina Leschenko joins the Australian Chamber Orchestra for a program full of brilliant music-making\, deep emotions and profound connections \n\n\n\n\nPolina Leschenko’s deep affinity with Chopin is a rare gift; so too is her remarkable rapport with Richard Tognetti and the ACO.

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

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. Its blend of original composition with synthesised treatments of classical music was audacious and wildly influential. Taking their cue from the innovations of Carlos and Derbyshire\, while looking back to Hollywood’s golden age\, sits the music of Vangelis\, John Williams and Hans Zimmer – some of the most affecting and iconic in cinema. \n\nSaturday 20 & Monday 22 May 2023\, 7.30pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 2 hours 30 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $139 ($129 Concession); A reserve $124 ($114 Concession); B reserve $99 ($89 Concession)\nC reserve $79 ($69 Concession); D reserve $49

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
