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

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.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra presents Mendelssohn and Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Sir Andrew Davis returns to lead the MSO for the first time as Chief Conductor Laureate. \n\n\n\n\nDavis will be joined by MSO Young Artist in Association Christian Li\, who will tackle Mendelssohn’s astonishing Violin Concerto. \nCarl Vine’s MicroSymphony kicks into gear with an explosive beginning and barely eases in energy for the remaining ten minutes. Mellifluous passages on flute provide contrast with thundering\, frenetic material developed from a four-note motif. \nTo describe Christian Li as a violin wunderkind would not be an understatement: at ten years old he became the youngest ever winner of the Junior 1st Prize in the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition. Li’s precision and musical sophistication beyond his years will be showcased in Mendelssohn’s virtuosic Violin Concerto. \nBrahms composed his Fourth Symphony during a summer retreat in the mountains south of Vienna. Music critic Eduard Hanslick gave it an insightful and glowing review\, citing Brahms’ “sovereign mastery of all the secrets of counterpoint\, harmony\, and instrumentation\, [and of] the logic of development combined with the most beautiful freedom of fantasy.” \n\n\n\n\nFriday 2 Dec 7:30 PM; Saturday 3 Dec 2:00 PM\n\n\nRunning Time1 hour 45 minutes (inc. 1 x 20 minute interval) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $69.00 – $129.00; Concession* $64.00 – $124.00

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Bruch Violin Concerto - Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Fabian Russell leads the MSO in a collection of virtuosic works inspired by nature and folk music from around the world. \n\n\n\n\nAustralian composer Harry Sdraulig’s evocatively titled works are often inspired by the beauty and power of nature. Here\, Torrent comes to life – from frenzied furiosity to thick stagnancy and back again – under the baton of much-loved Australian conductor Fabian Russell. \nMax Bruch’s First Violin Concerto is a bravura showpiece for violinists that has never waned in popularity with audiences. It is expertly handled here by fifteen-year old Edward Walton\, who recently won Junior 2nd Prize in the prestigious Menuhin Competition. \nBased on folk dances and ecclesiastical chants\, but with modern hints such as the inclusion of saxophone\, Symphonic Dances was the last work Rachmaninov ever composed. Virtuosic playing\, heaving energy\, and gentle\, lingering melodies make this unforgettable work an enduring favourite of audiences the world over. \nTickets\n\n\n\nStandard: $69.00 – $129.00\n\n\nConcession*: $64.00 – $124.00

SUMMARY:MSO: Sonority and Silence - Tchaikovsky's Pathétique
DESCRIPTION:The MSO uncovers the spaces between sonority and silence in this program\, directed by Alpesh Chauhan\, Associate Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. \n\n\n\n\nWith work performed all over the world\, British-born Thomas Adès is one of the most highly acclaimed living opera composers. This ballroom music from his 1995 opera Powder her Face features sleazy clarinets and characterful brass – high energy musical flirtation with a scandalous lilt\, reminiscent of the iconic dance scenes from Bernstein’s West Side Story. \nAustralian composer Anna Cawrse describes The Rest is Silence as “a prayer\, a celebration\, and a meditation on the quiet still spaces\, the silence amidst the hustle\, and the enduring power of music”. This concerto features MSO Principal Cor Anglais Michael Pisani in an exploration of this remarkable instrument\, often used to express music’s most melancholic\, bittersweet\, and emotionally profound moments. \nTchaikovsky wrote that his Sixth Symphony was “the best thing I ever composed or shall compose” – a big claim from the man who wrote Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. This remarkable symphony is infinitely relatable\, exploring a struggle between the strength of life force\, and emotional and physical demise. In a break from standard practice of the time\, this incredible cornerstone of romantic repertoire ends in quiet\, contemplative dissolution.
