SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra  Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody
DESCRIPTION:A musical revelation starring pianist Dejan Lazić\, with a world premiere from John Luther Adams.\nWhen Rachmaninoff first performed his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, it had the audience in raptures. The extraordinary pianist had written a showstopper\, and audiences have loved its lush\, romantic melodies for nearly 100 years. Now\, the ever- adventurous pianist Dejan Lazić returns to the Australian Chamber Orchestra to play it\, in a new arrangement for piano and strings. \nIn this joyful season opener directed by Richard Tognetti and featuring the singular talents of Lazić as soloist\, the Australian Chamber Orchestra explores the power of music to take us to the edge of what is known… and beyond. Join the Australian Chamber Orchestra to explore where the lines between earth\, sea and sky merge. There\, possibility is infinite. \nJohn Luther Adams is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer whose music is a profound response to the natural world. In the world premiere of his expansive Horizon\, you’ll explore the extremes of the Australian landscape. Born of a residency in Australia\, Adams plays with space\, sound and texture to immerse you in this special place. \nRaminta Šerkšnytė’s euphoric De Profundis plays with high and low extremes\, in a piece full of energy and drama. Stravinsky’s balletic Concerto in D is sometimes ominous\, sometimes graceful\, and always impressive. \nLazić describes playing with the Australian Chamber Orchestra as “coming home”. This latest collaboration between virtuosos – and old friends – is not to be missed. \nJohn Luther Adams Horizon * (World Premiere) \nIgor Stravinsky Concerto in D ‘Basle’ \nRaminta Šerkšnytė De Profundis (Australian Premiere) \nSergei Rachmaninoff (arr. piano\, percussion and strings) Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, Op.43 \n*Commissioned by the Australian Chamber Orchestra \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 07 February 2026 – 7:30pm\nMonday 09 February 2026 – 7:30pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).

SUMMARY:Vivaldi's Gloria
DESCRIPTION:Spirits soar in this radiant program of Baroque masterworks.\nDescribed as ‘impressive’ (Sydney Morning Herald)\, Melbourne’s own Genesis Baroque makes its Elisabeth Murdoch Hall debut as they join forces with the illustrious Choir of Trinity College. \nThis evening of deep musical devotion opens with Vivaldi’s eternally dazzling Gloria. Bursting with sunlit joy and dancing rhythms\, the opening movement right through to the final notes perfectly showcase why this has long been a fan-favourite work by the Italian composer. \nIn contrast\, the haunting Salve Regina draws listeners into a word of melancholy beauty as interwoven soprano and alto voices float above shimmering strings. Finally\, two of JS Bach’s most deeply personal compositions\, including his Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied with its spectacular eight-part double choir\, round out this radiant program of Baroque masterworks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 26 November 2025 – 7:30pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).

SUMMARY:The Australian String Quartet:  Convergence
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic rollercoaster of virtuosity and emotion converges in three wildly contrasting works by Stanhope\, Britten and Schubert.\nSince the release of their recorded trilogy of Paul Stanhope’s quartets\, the ASQ has proudly championed this beloved Australian composer\, whose first string quartet\, Elegies and Dances\, bristles with rhythmic vitality. Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No.2\, a deeply moving tribute to the great English composer Henry Purcell\, is the musical equivalent of a towering architectural marvel\, weaving four distinct voices in stark contrast and breathtaking unity. \nThe program culminates with Schubert’s enduringly popular Death and the Maiden quartet\, a window into the tortured soul of a musical giant at the height of his powers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralian String Quartet: Dale Barltrop Violin; Francesca Hiew Violin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Cartlidge Viola; Michael Dahlenburg Cello \nPaul Stanhope String Quartet No.1\, Elegies & Dances \nBenjamin Britten  String Quartet No.2 in C\, Op.36 \nFranz Schubert String Quartet No.14 in D minor\, Death and the Maiden \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday 27 October 2025 – 7:00pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).

SUMMARY:Melbourne Youth Orchestras: Reformation\, Romance & Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Music of romance\, power\, and joy.\nShostakovich’s Fifth Symphony emerged as a masterful response to Stalin’s criticism of his earlier works. Whether interpreted as a public statement or subtle rebellion\, the symphony captures the turbulence\, despair\, and triumph of its time with volcanic intensity. \nKorngold\, a celebrated Jewish émigré\, found safety and success in Hollywood\, where his music embodied the emotional exuberance of early cinema. Gifted with sparkling melodies\, lush harmonies\, and imaginative orchestration\, Korngold brought a joyous spirit to his compositions. His Violin Concerto\, featuring brilliant violinist Louise Turnbull\, remains a beloved masterpiece. \nMelbourne composer Miriama Young’s Daughters of Elysium also draws from the past\, weaving Bach’s influences into her imaginative soundscape. The program opens with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.5\, a spiritual declaration reaching an awe-inspiring climax. \nThe talented young musicians of Melbourne Youth Orchestra are thrilled to share this transformative celebration of passion\, creativity\, and rebirth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLouise Turnbull violin\nBrett Kelly conductor\nMelbourne Youth Orchestra  \nFelix Mendelssohn Symphony No.5 'Reformation' Finale\n\nMiriama Young Daughters of Elysium (2024)\n \nErich Wolfgang Korngold Violin Concerto\n\nDmitri Shostakovich Symphony No.5\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 30 March 2025 – 2:00pm \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).

SUMMARY:Hoang Pham in Recital
DESCRIPTION:Hoang Pham performs three masterpieces for solo piano by Beethoven and Liszt.\nBeethoven wrote 32 piano sonatas and both the Pathétique and Moonlight remain his most popular of the series. Both of these sonatas were written around the turn of the 19th century and were revolutionary\, offering a glimpse into the more emotional and dramatic Romantic period. \nLiszt’s piano transcription of Wagner’s Overture to Tannäuser is one of over fifty operatic paraphrases that Liszt composed in his lifetime. Many of the famous French\, Italian and German operas of the 19th century provided a creative canvas for Liszt’s reflections at the piano. His Tannhäuser transcription provides a towering virtuoso conclusion to this recital. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHoang Pham piano \nLudwig van Beethoven Sonata in C minor\, Op.13 Pathétique; Sonata in C sharp minor\, Op.27\, No.2 Moonlight \nRichard Wagner / Franz Liszt Overture to Tannhäuser \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 29 March 2025\, 6:00pm \n\n\nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval).
