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. In flow\, flood and drought\, rivers gave life and carried it away. In two short centuries\, humans have begun to reshape rivers. We build dams upstream to sustain our cities. We alter flood plains and vary flows. 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 Brandenburg Orchestra: Poet of the Violin
DESCRIPTION:Virtuoso’s dazzling flights of freedom.\nVivacious. Fierce. Expressive. These are just some of the words used to describe Leila Schayegh\, one of the world’s most acclaimed Baroque violinists.

Her performances are pure poetry and convey the freedom of a true virtuoso unrestrained by technical limitations.

SUMMARY:Australian String Quartet: Florescence
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of the string quartet across continents and contexts.\nA dramatic proclamation sets the scene as Australian composer Justin Williams’ Movement for String Quartet begins this concert with an exploration of distinct and juxtaposing musical material. From twenty-first century Australia we travel to eighteenth century Austria\, where Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet No.1 in B minor thrills with an impulsiveness that makes for a virtuosic and exuberant experience. \nHenry Purcell’s Fantasia No.6 showcases this Baroque composer’s mastery of suspension and release in a meditative ‘fancy’ before we are whisked into the program’s celebratory finale. Antonin Dvořák’s melodically rich and festive String Quartet No.14 — the composer’s final instrumental chamber work—brims with inventive interplay and influences from the composer’s experiences abroad and connection to his Bohemian homeland’s folk traditions. \n\nMonday 30 October 2023\, 7pm      MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $78 ($67 Concession); Student & Under 30 $33

SUMMARY:Australian Brandenburg Orchestra: The Lover
DESCRIPTION:Euphoric\, wild and ravishing.\nFrom the moment Théotime Langlois de Swarte first stepped onto the Paris stage in his early teens he stood out from the crowd. It was in his nature. He was inquisitive\, passionate and fearless\, ready to make his mark. \nThe rising young star – an intrepid Baroque violinist mentored by William Christie Les Arts Florissants makes his Australian debut in a sensual\, beautiful and ultimately explosive pasticcio curated by Théotime and Paul Dyer. Baroque harps\, violins\, lutes and theorbos take a starring role in the haunting first act. The second half brings a breathtaking climax of virtuosity with Théotime and the stunning Brandenburg strings. The swoon-factor repertoire is drawn in part from Théotime’s acclaimed recording The Mad Lover\, replete with ornate and refined sonatas mixed with ebullient suites and operatic flourishes. The musical soundscape from around 1700 is presented in contemporary theatrical settings on stage. Seductive\, electric with feeling\, resonant. \nDon’t miss this prodigious international talent ‘make his mark’ in the loving arms of the Brandenburg. He’s a young star! \n\nThursday 7 and Saturday 9 at 7pm; Sunday 10 September at 5pm 2023;    MRC Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 45 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: $185 – $30

SUMMARY:Australian Brandenburg Orchestra: The Lover
DESCRIPTION:Euphoric\, wild and ravishing.\nFrom the moment Théotime Langlois de Swarte first stepped onto the Paris stage in his early teens he stood out from the crowd. It was in his nature. He was inquisitive\, passionate and fearless\, ready to make his mark. \nThe rising young star – an intrepid Baroque violinist mentored by William Christie Les Arts Florissants makes his Australian debut in a sensual\, beautiful and ultimately explosive pasticcio curated by Théotime and Paul Dyer. Baroque harps\, violins\, lutes and theorbos take a starring role in the haunting first act. The second half brings a breathtaking climax of virtuosity with Théotime and the stunning Brandenburg strings. The swoon-factor repertoire is drawn in part from Théotime’s acclaimed recording The Mad Lover\, replete with ornate and refined sonatas mixed with ebullient suites and operatic flourishes. The musical soundscape from around 1700 is presented in contemporary theatrical settings on stage. Seductive\, electric with feeling\, resonant. \nDon’t miss this prodigious international talent ‘make his mark’ in the loving arms of the Brandenburg. He’s a young star! \n\nThursday 7 and Saturday 9 at 7pm; Sunday 10 September at 5pm 2023;    MRC Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 45 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: $185 – $30
