This elegant work with its unusual instrumentation spotlights the oboe\, clarinet\, horn\, and bassoon alongside the orchestra to create a unique\, and rich listening experience. \nMorning Tea\nJoin us for coffee plus sweet and savory treats from 10am in the ground floor foyer. \n\nWednesday 16 October 2024 11am;  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: Standard $49 ($42 Concession) \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Australian Brandenburg Orchestra – Handel's House
DESCRIPTION:Step inside and indulge!\nFrom the moment Yukie Sato enters Handel’s House\, you’ll feel the force of her gravity. It might be the house that Handel built\, but it is this glowing soprano who makes it her own. \nThe purity of her voice is set to deliver a Handel experience with uncompromising clarity\, beckoning her audiences to surrender to the siren as she holds us in the palm of her hand\, cracks open our hearts\, and lovingly reassembles them piece by piece. \nMaking her highly anticipated Australian debut\, Japan’s Yukie Sato is the songbird who refuses to be defined or caged. Be transfixed as the international soprano takes flight through Handel’s most cherished arias. Revel in the Japanese-born\, Swiss-educated diva’s technical and innate musicality and natural charisma perfectly befitting of Handel’s distinctly Germanic approach to Italian style. \nA vocal icon that cannot be dulled\, prepare for Sato to weave a vivid tapestry that will engulf and envelope you entirely. That is her power\, wielded like a burning sword. In a rare opportunity to experience the soprano outside of Japan\, it’s your choice to shy from her brightness or surrender to her flame as she graces us for this brief but epic moment in time\, and then she is gone. \nCatch her while you can! \n\nThursday 12\, Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 September 2024 \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $196\nA reserve $175 ($109 Concession)\nB reserve $127 ($79 Concession)\nC reserve $95 ($59 Concession)\nD reserve $60\nE reserve $30 \nUnder 40\nA – D reserve $40 \nSenior\nA reserve $157*\nB reserve $114* \nStudent\nA – E reserve $20 \nApplicable 5pm Sunday matinee concerts only. *

SUMMARY:Australian Brandenburg Orchestra – Handel's House
DESCRIPTION:Step inside and indulge!\nFrom the moment Yukie Sato enters Handel’s House\, you’ll feel the force of her gravity. It might be the house that Handel built\, but it is this glowing soprano who makes it her own. \nThe purity of her voice is set to deliver a Handel experience with uncompromising clarity\, beckoning her audiences to surrender to the siren as she holds us in the palm of her hand\, cracks open our hearts\, and lovingly reassembles them piece by piece. \nMaking her highly anticipated Australian debut\, Japan’s Yukie Sato is the songbird who refuses to be defined or caged. Be transfixed as the international soprano takes flight through Handel’s most cherished arias. Revel in the Japanese-born\, Swiss-educated diva’s technical and innate musicality and natural charisma perfectly befitting of Handel’s distinctly Germanic approach to Italian style. \nA vocal icon that cannot be dulled\, prepare for Sato to weave a vivid tapestry that will engulf and envelope you entirely. That is her power\, wielded like a burning sword. In a rare opportunity to experience the soprano outside of Japan\, it’s your choice to shy from her brightness or surrender to her flame as she graces us for this brief but epic moment in time\, and then she is gone. \nCatch her while you can! \n\nThursday 12\, Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 September 2024 \n\nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $196\nA reserve $175 ($109 Concession)\nB reserve $127 ($79 Concession)\nC reserve $95 ($59 Concession)\nD reserve $60\nE reserve $30 \nUnder 40\nA – D reserve $40 \nSenior\nA reserve $157*\nB reserve $114* \nStudent\nA – E reserve $20 \nApplicable 5pm Sunday matinee concerts only. *

SUMMARY:Mostly Mozart – Magnificent Minor
DESCRIPTION:Experience the transcendent power of two musical titans on full display.\nIn this mid-winter Mostly Mozart\, violinists Jakub Jakowicz and Sophie Rowell join musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music for a morning of 18th-century masterworks. \nJourneying back to the heart of the Baroque era with J.S. Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins\, the overlapping\, intertwining dialogue between the two soloists and the ensemble showcases the glory of the era. With Polish-born Jakub Jakowicz’ career of chamber music artistry and one of Australia’s most-treasured musicians\, Sophie Rowell\, at the helm\, Bach’s combination of rhythmic power and sustained songfulness leaps across centuries to bring delight to a troubled world. \nWritten in a blaze of inspiration in the summer of 1788\, Mozart’s Symphony No.40 defies the descriptors of ‘powerful’ and ‘dramatic’. With the fiery urgency of the opening\, the graceful serenity of the second movement\, and finally\, the spirited finale\, Mozart’s emotional rollercoaster of melodies showcases the energetic power of the ANAM Orchestra. \nMorning Tea: Join us for coffee plus sweet and savory treats from 10am in the ground floor foyer. \nFriday 9 August 2024 11am\nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nMelbourne Recital Centre\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nTICKETS: Standard $49 ($42 Concession)

SUMMARY:Melbourne Chamber Orchestra: Crystalline Voices
DESCRIPTION:Energy\, daring and imagination.\nTimo-Veikko Valve (Tipi to his friends) left Helsinki 17 years ago to become Principal Cello of Australian Chamber Orchestra. Since then he’s continuously travelled across Australia and the globe delighting audiences on his 400-year-old cello. \nFor this project\, MCO welcomes him as our guest curator\, director\, and soloist. The music Tipi has chosen for these concerts is a beautiful depiction of his Finnish nationality\, his time in Australia\, his love of the cello\, and his devotion to chamber music. \nFor these concerts\, Tipi envisions Melbourne Chamber Orchestra as an enormous chamber ensemble: Schubert’s iconic Arpeggione Sonata is cast as a cello concerto\, and Sibelius’ virtuosic Intimate Voices string quartet is performed by the whole orchestra. \nReflective works by Ida Moberg from Finland and Olivia Bettina-Davies from Australia\, and echoes of Australian legend Peter Sculthorpe\, complete a captivating concert experience. \nThursday 18 July 7.30pm & Sunday 21 July 2.30pm 2024 \nElisabeth Murdoch Hall\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nTICKETS\nPremium $140 ($120 Concession); A reserve $120 ($100 Concession); B reserve $95 ($75 Concession); C reserve $70 ($50 Concession)\nSenior: Premium $120; A reserve $100; B reserve $75; C reserve $50\nUnder 40: $40\nStudent & Child: $30
