DESCRIPTION:The two great gardens of English music\, separated by two centuries\, are the theme of this concert experience co-curated by Sophie Rowell and the incomparable Genevieve Lacey.\nThe beautiful\, intricate music of Elizabethan and Stuart England is an escape to a world far from our own.

When Elgar\, Walton and others began to plant the second great garden in more recent times\, the earlier golden age was never far from their minds. \nFor decades\, audiences and fellow artists have been drawn to Genevieve Lacey’s unique artistic visions\, which reimagine music from diffuse contexts as wholes greater than the sum of their parts. We are delighted to be joined on stage by Genevieve for the first time since 2017. \nFeaturing 500 years of English music curated by Sophie Rowell and Genevieve Lacey. \n\nThursday 22 June 7.30pm & Sunday 25 June 2023 2.30pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $140 ($125 Concession); A-Reserve $120 ($105 Concession); B-Reserve $95 ($75 Concession)\nC-Reserve $70 ($50 Concession); Under 40 B & C Reserve $40; Student $30

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: The Four Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Open your mind and join the ACO for this stunning adventure where worlds intertwine.\nWorlds intertwine and Vivaldi’s masterpiece is heard anew in this stunning adventure through Venice and the Mediterranean. Vivaldi’s world was a thrilling and spicy place. Boundaries were porous\, particularly in Venice where Vivaldi was born and lived. It was one of the great cosmopolitan and entrepreneurial centres of its time. \nExotic goods\, knowledge and culture from the Middle East\, North Africa and beyond flowed unstoppably into Europe\, propelled by the vast reach of the Ottoman empire. Venice inhaled. So did Vivaldi.

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: The Four Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Open your mind and join the ACO for this stunning adventure where worlds intertwine.\nWorlds intertwine and Vivaldi’s masterpiece is heard anew in this stunning adventure through Venice and the Mediterranean. Vivaldi’s world was a thrilling and spicy place. Boundaries were porous\, particularly in Venice where Vivaldi was born and lived. It was one of the great cosmopolitan and entrepreneurial centres of its time. \nExotic goods\, knowledge and culture from the Middle East\, North Africa and beyond flowed unstoppably into Europe\, propelled by the vast reach of the Ottoman empire. Venice inhaled. So did Vivaldi.

SUMMARY:Jordi Savall & Hespèrion XXI
DESCRIPTION:An exquisite exploration of early music by globally acclaimed interpreters.\nFor over 50 years\, Jordi Savall has remained one of the most versatile musical masters of his generation\, rescuing gems from obscurity and returning them to the world for all to enjoy. A tireless researcher into early music\, he interprets and performs the repertoire both as viol player and director. In 1974\, Jordi Savall and Montserrat Figueras\, together with Lorenzo Alpert and Hopkinson Smith\, founded the ancient music ensemble Hespèrion XX in Basel as a way of recovering and disseminating the rich and fascinating musical repertoire prior to the 19th century. The name Hespèrion means ‘an inhabitant of Hesperia’\, which in ancient Greek referred to the two most westerly peninsulas in Europe: the Iberian and the Italian. At the turn of the 21st century\, Hespèrion XX became known as Hespèrion XXI. \nAncient and early music’s most important value stems from its ability as a universal artistic language to transmit feelings\, emotions and ancestral ideas that even today can enthrall the contemporary listener. Today Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI are central to the understanding of the music of the period between the Middle Ages and the Baroque\, and their exquisite performances enable people to freely enjoy the aesthetic and spiritual delicacy of the works of this historical period. \nAbout the concerts\nOn Thursday 23 February\, Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI present Fantasies\, Battles and Dances: The Golden Age of European Consort Music – vibrant music of the Renaissance and Baroque featuring works by Tye\, Alberti\, Dowland\, Lawes\, Ferrabosco\, Bach\, Purcell\, Cabanilles and more. \nOn Friday 24 February\, Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI present The Venetian Influences in Musical Europe – a lively exploration of ricercari\, capricci\, canzoni\, sonatas\, dances and variations from the Renaissance and Baroque. \nMelbourne Recital Centre’s Signature Event is a must-see concert experience for music-lovers who desire to broaden their musical horizon and experience something truly special. With more than 230 recordings and many awards and distinctions including the Midem Classical Award\, the International Classical Music Award\, Grammy Award and Helpmann Award to his name\, Jordi Savall is no exception. \n\nThursday 23 & Friday 24 February 2023 7.30pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTickets: Signature Seat $150*; Premium $115; A reserve $95 ($80 Concession); B reserve $75 ($65 Concession)
