SUMMARY:Australian World Orchestra: Mahler 9
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the capstone Mahler event of the year! \n\n\n\n\nThis November\, experience the capstone Mahler event of the year when internationally renowned conductor Alexander Briger returns home to lead the acclaimed Australian World Orchestra\, performing one of the 20th century’s most celebrated masterpieces\, Mahler 9. \nUniversally revered as one of the leading composers of his generation\, Gustav Mahler was a bridging force between musical styles of the 19th and the 20th centuries. A major influence on subsequent generations of musicians\, revered American master-conductor Leonard Bernstein described Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 as “Terrifying\, and paralysing; the strands of sound disintegrate … in ceasing\, we lose it all. But in Mahler’s ceasing\, we have gained everything.” \nAn incomparable musical accomplishment\, Mahler 9 carries audiences through a deeply emotional and exhilarating contemplation on the transience of life and the miracle of transfiguration. \n“A hymn to the end of all things [and] a love-song to life…” The Guardian \nJoin the Australian World Orchestra for this gala evening with an extraordinary array of Australian musicians\, drawn from the Berlin and Hong Kong Philharmonics; Chicago\, London\, New Zealand and\, Australian state and national Symphony Orchestras and Ensembles\, as they combine under the unassailable banner of the Australian World Orchestra to present an unforgettable “orchestral Rolls Royce” concert experience. \n\nWednesday 22 Nov\, 7:30 PM   Running Time 1 hour 20 minutes\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\nTICKETS: $59 – $219

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:Opera Australia: Satyagraha in Concert
DESCRIPTION:A meditation on the man and the myth that became a movement. \n\n\n\n\nOne of the 20th century’s leading composers and influential master of minimalism\, Philip Glass\, creates a hypnotic and reverent portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi’s early years of nonviolent protest in South Africa. Drifting between poignant moments of Gandhi’s life as he strives for social reform and resistance\, Satyagraha shows the widespread injustice of the European ruling class in South Africa that lead to the forming of the foundations of his non-violent protest movement\, inspiring political figures across the world. \nThe libretto by Glass and visual artist Constance DeJong draws from the sacred Hindi text the Bhagavad Gita and is performed in the original Sanskrit with English surtitles. Together with Glass’ unique use of orchestra and voice\, this opera is an inspiring and moving portrayal of one man’s journey from modest lawyer to political titan. \nThis marks our first performance of this mesmerising masterpiece\, in a one-off concert exclusive to Melbourne. \n\n\n\n\nSaturday 13 May\, 7:30 PM; Running Time Aprox. 2 Hours 30 mins\nTICKETS: Standard: $72.00 – $270.00; Pensioner: $64.00 – $243.00; Student: $64.00 – $243.00

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. 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. He had announced an epic musical monument to Lenin with chorus and soloists\, and leaning heavily on Russian folk music. When it premiered in 1939\, however\, the work turned out to contain none of these things – restrained and dark instead of bombastic and patriotic\, with no references to Lenin – throwing him into political disfavour. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 20 April\, 7:30 PM; Saturday 22 April\, 2:00 PM Running Time1 hours 50 minutes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Thursday 20 April: Standard: $75.00 – $135.00; Concession: $70.00 – $130.00* Group Standard 10+: $75.00 – $117.00; Group Concession 10+: $70.00 – $112.00* \nSaturday 22 April: Standard: $69.00 – $121.00; Concession: $64.00 – $116.00* \n\nGroup Standard 10+: $69.00 – $107.00; Group Concession 10+: $64.00 – $102.00*

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
