SUMMARY:Van Diemen's band: Where Everything is Music
DESCRIPTION:The Persian music of Afghanistan meets baroque.\nTasmanian Baroque ensemble Van Diemen’s Band invites listeners to experience a stunning blend of two distinct musical worlds. Created for MONA FOMA 2023 and performed to sold-out audiences\, this cross-cultural collaboration with Ensemble Kaboul features musicians Khaled Arman (rubab) and Siar Hashimi (tablā and vocals). Embodying artistry and advocacy\, this performance preserves and celebrates musical traditions Afghanistan’s current regime is attempting to silence. \nImmerse yourself in the warm\, resonant tones of Van Diemen’s Band’s period instruments as they interweave with the intricate melodic patterns of traditional Afghan and Persian music\, while soaring vocals merge with the ethereal late 19th century piano compositions of Erik Satie. Traditional Persian compositions have been harmoniously arranged for this ensemble\, and Western classical pieces were selected for their fluid\, contemplative style\, creating a seamless interplay between Central Asian and European musical traditions. \n\n\n\n\n\nEnsemble Kaboul\nKhaled Arman rubab (Afghan lute)\nSiar Hashimi vocals\, tablā\, percussion\nMasud Hashimi percussion \nVan Diemen’s Band \nJulia Fredersdorff artistic director\, baroque violin\nLuke Plumb mandolin\nRachel Meyers viola\nLaura Vaughan viola da gamba\, violone\nMartin Penicka violoncello\nDonald Nicolson harpsichord \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram \nF.A Naynawaz arr.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Bach Choir: Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana
DESCRIPTION:One of the best-known works in the entire choral repertory will be performed in Melbourne this September. From the opening chorus of O Fortuna – an earworm familiar not only from the concert hall\, but also from its use in countless films and commercials – the passion and pace of this music are unstoppable. \nSoloists will be soprano Jane Magão (currently touring in Opera Australia’s La Bohème); Melbourne favourite\, baritone Christopher Hillier; and tenor Robert Macfarlane in a hilarious cameo as the roasting swan. The concert will also feature the Australian Children’s Choir\, making their debut performance with Melbourne Bach Choir\, and will be conducted by Rick Prakhoff. \nCarmina Burana will be presented in the version for two pianos (Elyane Laussade and Kathryn Pisani) and percussion.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Recital Centre & Australian National Academy of Music: Mostly Mozart – Eine kleine Nachtmusik
DESCRIPTION:The many moods of Mozart and Shostakovich take centre stage.\nOpening with unique brass arrangements of two of Mozart’s most profound moments – the Kyrie and Lacrimosa from his Requiem – this Wednesday morning performance begins with power and pathos. Intensities deepen as Shostakovich’s searing Chamber Symphony takes flight under the direction of ANAM’s Head of Violin Adam Chalabi. Inspired by his own String Quartet No.8\, Shostakovich’s deeply personal 25-minute work was written in just three days and is filled with haunting meditations on loss and survival. \nTo round out this hour-long expedition through the many moods of Mozart and Shostakovich\, ANAM Musicians present Mozart at his most delightful in Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. With melodies sparkling throughout the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall\, the classical charm of this Mozart masterpiece is the perfect conclusion for a journey from the sacred to the secular; the tragic to the triumphant. \nMorning Tea \nJoin us for coffee plus sweet and savory treats from 10am in the ground floor foyer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDates & Times\n\nWednesday 03 September 2025 – 11:00am \n\n\nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval).

SUMMARY:JACK Quartet – String Creatures
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Australian premiere of a new Liza Lim work\, performed by one of the planet’s top quartets.\nChampions of 20th and 21st-century string quartet music\, JACK Quartet has been described by its home-city publication as being the ‘expert in the most ferociously difficult modern scores’ (The New Yorker)\, and for good reason. \nSince first joining forces almost 20 years ago\, JACK Quartet’s reputation for being one of the most respected experimental string quartets has continued to build. Known as contemporary music celebrities\, JACK Quartet explored their untapped skills as magicians and escape artists during workshops with Liza Lim for String Creatures. Co-commissioned by Melbourne Recital Centre\, the struggling echoes of being trapped felt in the first movement were directly inspired by John Richards – the Quartet’s violist – attempting to free his hands after being tied to the neck of his instrument during an early workshop. \nThe fascination with string and rope continued throughout the creative process for one of Australia’s most successful contemporary composers: ‘There’s something magical about string … A string retains every twist and turn that it encounters’ (Liza Lim). \nRuth Crawford Seeger’s time capsule String Quartet 1931 precedes the Australian premiere of String Creatures. Written in Germany but often described as an active dismissal of the latest in European musical trends\, String Quartet 1931 cemented her among the most daring and accomplished American avant-garde composers. Similarly\, Elliott Carter was determined to shatter the status quo when he wrote his inaugural String Quartet\, proclaiming that he wanted to break free from his ‘professional and social responsibility to write interesting\, direct\, easily understood music.’ A desire that can be felt and heard throughout\, even in the moments of heart and soul hidden deep within the notes. \n\nWednesday 10 April 2024 7pm; MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 45 mins (incl. interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: A reserve $55. B reserve $45 \nBuy & Save with an Exquisite Classical Experiences Season Package; Flexible 5+ Concert Package

SUMMARY:The Spooky Men's Chorale
DESCRIPTION:Experience a performance as spooky as it is striking.\nFormed in 2001\, The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a vast\, rumbling\, steam powered and black clad behemoth\, seemingly accidentally capable of rendering audiences moist eyed with mute appreciation or haplessly gurgling with merriment. Based on the twin pillars of grand foolishness and the quest for the perfect subwoofer-rattling boofchord\, the Spooky Men seek to commentate on the absurdity and grandeur of the modern male armed only with their voices\, a sly collection of hats and facial hair\, and a twinkle in the eye. \nAbout the concert\nIn this delicious live performance\, The Spooky Men’s Chorale dig deep into their multifarious themes: Georgian male polyphony; a running joke on man as a vast\, oblivious useless object; whispers of clown\, bouffon and Monty Python; and forays into massively pleasurable grunting tribalism. \nAudiences are invited to first joyously endure a wall of mansound\, then laugh stupidly\, before venturing into areas of great tenderness. It is not so much comedic as hilarious\, not so much shimmeringly perfect as human in a very deeply resonant way. \n\nFriday 28 July 2023 7.30pm  Elisabeth Murdoch Hall   Duration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $60 ($50 Concession)

SUMMARY:Omega Ensemble: Ecstatic Dances
DESCRIPTION:Dance\, dance\, otherwise we are lost.\nWhen Ross Edwards composed his first Ecstatic Dance in 1978\, he discovered an idiosyncratic and kinetic way of writing.

Entitled ‘The American Four Seasons’\, the legendary composers’ electrifying concerto is a visceral homage to the forces of nature\, packed full of dizzying twists and turns\, turbo-charged drive and heart-stopping intensity. \n\nWednesday 5 July 2023 7pm; MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall;  Duration: 1 hour 30 mins (no interval)wa \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $119\, A reserve $89 ($79 Concession); B reserve $69 ($59 Concession)\nC reserve $49 ($39 Concession); Under 30 $39

SUMMARY:Musica Viva: Garrick Ohlsson
DESCRIPTION:A titan of the piano returns in Garrick Ohlsson. Virtuosic yet powerful\, Ohlsson showcases his favourite composers while debuting a world premiere by Australian Thomas Misson.\nIn 1970 Garrick Ohlsson – a gangly pianist from White Plains\, New York\, all of 22 and unknown beyond his hometown – pulled off an astonishing feat: from nowhere he won the Chopin Competition in Warsaw\, the only American to have done so. He somehow missed the announcement\, a kindly audience member informing him that his life would never be quite the same. \nIn the subsequent 50 years Ohlsson has owned Chopin’s music like few others\, playing it with authority\, humility\, a sense of discovery and deep commitment. \nOhlsson has other heroes too. Scriabin is one such example\, his powerful\, impressionistic music an ideal match for Ohlsson’s authoritative playing. He adores Barber and Schubert\, Debussy and Liszt too\, choosing this Australian tour for his first performance of the latter’s Sonata in B Minor in many years. His program also features a new work by the Australian composer Thomas Mission. \nSaturday 3 Program:  Franz Schubert: Impromptu in C Minor\, Op.90\, No.1; \nFranz Liszt: Piano Sonata in B Minor\, S.178;  Thomas Misson: New Work \nAlexander Scriabin: Étude in C-Sharp Minor\, Op.2\, No.1; Étude in D-Flat\, Op.8\, No.10; Étude in C-Sharp Minor\, Op.42\, No.5; Two Poems\, Op.32: Andante cantabile; Piano Sonata No.5\, Op.5 \nTuesday 13 Program: Claude Debussy: Suite bergamasque; Samuel Barber: Piano Sonata in E-Flat Minor\, Op.26 \nThomas Misson: New Work; Frédéric Chopin:  Variations brillantes\, Op.12; Piano Sonata No.1 in C Minor\, Op.4: Larghetto; Scherzo No.2 in B-Flat Minor\, Op.31 \n\nSaturday 3 & Tuesday 13 June 2023 7pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 1 hour 40 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $158 ($134 Concession); A reserve $126 ($110 Concession); B reserve $95 ($82 Concession)\nC reserve $66 ($58 Concession); Under 40: A – C reserve $40

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Orchestra: A Clockwork Orange and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Cult films\, synthesisers and an age of innovation\, featuring the iconic film scores of Wendy Carlos and more.\nMusic and image are inextricable in cinema. Blade Runner\, Solaris\, A Clockwork Orange. You see and hear them. Most of all\, you remember the way they made you feel. \nWe go to the movies to explore the innovations that shaped a generation of trailblazing composers and their unique sound worlds for the screen. Joining the ACO is electronic artist Will Gregory\, co-founder and member of internationally revered English electronic music duo Goldfrapp\, and an ensemble of Moog Synthesisers. \nPioneers Wendy Carlos and Delia Derbyshire opened the floodgates in the 1960s. Carlos interpreted Bach for the electronic age with Switched-On Bach while Delia Derbyshire gave Australian composer Ron Grainer’s theme for Doctor Who its indelible sci-fi sound. \nA Clockwork Orange is as much Carlos’s film as Stanley Kubrick’s. Its blend of original composition with synthesised treatments of classical music was audacious and wildly influential. Taking their cue from the innovations of Carlos and Derbyshire\, while looking back to Hollywood’s golden age\, sits the music of Vangelis\, John Williams and Hans Zimmer – some of the most affecting and iconic in cinema. \n\nSaturday 20 & Monday 22 May 2023\, 7.30pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 2 hours 30 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Premium $139 ($129 Concession); A reserve $124 ($114 Concession); B reserve $99 ($89 Concession)\nC reserve $79 ($69 Concession); D reserve $49
