SUMMARY:MSO: Shining Strings: The Art of the Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The beauty and personality of this treasured family of instruments\, led by MSO Concertmaster Dale Barltrop.\nProgram\nHenry Purcell The Fairy Queen (selections) \nBenjamin Britten Les Illuminations \nMaurice Ravel – arr. Gail Aitken String Quartet in F\, arranged for string orchestra \nDue to a change in the repertoire for this program\, Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony and Vasks’ Cantabile for Strings will no longer be performed. \nAbout the concert\nSelections from Purcell’s The Fairy Queen\, a semi-opera based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream open this charming program. Benjamin Britten\, a giant of English composition\, composed his song cycle Les Illuminations with text taken from a collection by French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Multi-musically-skilled MSO Double Bassist Stephen Newton performs this cycle as a tenor soloist. Ravel’s beloved String Quartet in F has been arranged for string orchestra by Queensland Symphony Orchestra violinist Gail Aitken. This playful piece of French impressionism is the musical equivalent of a Renoir or Monet – shimmering brightness\, refreshing spontaneity\, and joyful musical colour – making this one of the most adored works in the classical repertoire. \n\nSaturday 23 July 2022 7.30pm; MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $101 ($96 Concession)\nA Reserve $85 ($80 Concession)\nB Reserve $63 ($58 Concession)\nC Reserve $52 ($47 Concession) \nPackages available via the MSO website

SUMMARY:Ensemble 642 – The Art of Melancholy
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of human emotion with compassion and humour.\nAbout the artists\nEnsemble 642 are leaders of the next generation of Antipodean musicians dedicated to early music and historically informed performance practice. Acclaimed for their spellbinding performances\, they bring the emotion and spirit of the Baroque to life. \nAbout the concert\nProgram\nHenry Purcell O solitude\, my sweetest choice \nWilliam Byrd Pavana ‘The Earl of Salisbury’ \nHenry Purcell Cease\, anxious world\, Z.362 \nHenry Lawes I’m sick of love (To the Sycamore) \nJohn Banister Give me my lute \nWilliam Byrd The Bells \nJohn Dowland In darkness let me dwell; Preludium in G minor; Sorrow\, sorrow\, stay \nWilliam Lawes Harp Consort No.8 in G ‘Pavan’ \nNicholas Lanier The Dying Lover \nHenry Purcell Oedipus\, Z.583: Musick for a While \nOn plucked string instruments\, the bond between music and musician is as intricate as that of a singer and their vocal cords. With hands touching the strings\, the stakes are high to hit each note with precision\, and the rewards of everything going to plan are heard in intimate detail. \nThe expression of melancholy has a distinctive and intoxicating voice in the music of Baroque England. Whether provoked by the pains of a love lost or welcomed in the pursuit of contemplation\, it inspired some of the most intimate and affecting music from composers such as Henry Purcell\, Henry Lawes\, and John Dowland. \nThe confessional genre of English lute song provided the perfect mode to explore this emotion with compassion and humour. The interiority of this music speaks to us today as more than ever we search for space and stillness in a restless\, over-stimulated world. \nInternationally acclaimed\, ARIA-nominated baritone David Greco joins the enchanting plucked strings of Ensemble 642 in this program exploring the unique pleasures of melancholy in English music from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. \n\nWednesday 20 July 2022 6pm; MRC Primrose Potter salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS Standard $50 ($40 Concession)

SUMMARY:A Winter's Journey
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Musica Viva Australia\, tenor Allan Clayton and pianist Kate Golla perform Schubert’s immortal songs of love and loss\, newly reinterpreted for Australia through Lindy Hume’s direction and Fred Williams’ wondrous landscape paintings.\nAbout the concert\nIn 1827 Franz Schubert composed an emotionally charged song cycle. Setting poems of the German writer Wilhelm Müller\, Schubert created an emotional journey of a man trekking across frozen rivers and snowy landscapes\, lamenting his lost love. It is indeed a winter’s journey (Winterreise)\, full of images and metaphors of love\, loss\, nationhood. \nA Winter’s Journey is a new staging by Musica Viva Australia of Schubert’s iconic songs\, bringing a very different winter into focus\, set against a backdrop of Australian painter Fred Willliams’ vivid landscapes. \nAcclaimed stage director Lindy Hume is our cartographer\, mapping the terrain of heart and country for the gripping stage charisma of English tenor Allan Clayton and sensitive musicianship of Australian pianist Kate Golla. Videographer Dave Bergman provides the backdrop\, bringing to life 24 Williams paintings that match and contradict Müller’s poems and Schubert’s musical imagination\, all in gorgeous larger-than-life imagery. \nThis powerful artistic combination sets the perfect conditions to experience Schubert’s immortal masterpiece – songs of love and loss that still speak to us vividly\, in this far distant time and place. \n\nSaturday 16 & Tuesday 19 July 2022 7pm\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $49\, Under 40 $40\n\n\nFamily of Four $100 (2 adults + 2 children OR 1 adult + 3 children) \nSeason Packages available now from Musica Viva.

SUMMARY:Quercus Trio: Hall of Mirrors
DESCRIPTION:Australian composers who cross continents.\nAbout the artists\nQuercus is a new Melbourne-based horn trio\, showcasing the distinctive combination of horn\, violin and piano. Interested in championing contemporary and Australian works\, their diverse and dynamic experience melds to create something truly special. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon shifts focus to Australian composers who cross continents\, with strong roots both here and abroad. Beginning with a piece from Melbournian Don Banks written for the 1962 Edinburgh Festival\, the jazz-influenced\, loosely serialist horn-trio captures light moods. \nRoger Smalley’s Horn Trio is a little-known gem of the literature. A masterful rendering of the myriad colours and emotional possibilities wrought from these instrumental forces. \nLarry Sitsky’s Horn Trio Barerq takes material from the slow movement of his second violin concerto – influenced by the Greek-Amernian philosopher Gurdjieff and part of Sitsky’s ‘Armenian phase’ – and reworks it for horn trio to mesmerising effect. \nProgram \nDon Banks Trio for horn\, violin and piano \nLarry Sitsky Barerq \nRoger Smalley Trio for horn\, violin and piano \n\nWednesday 22 June 2022 6pm\, Melbourne Recital Centre\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nStandard $25 ($20 Concession)

The chance to hear Richard Tognetti and Principal Violin Helena Rathbone perform this timeless masterpiece is a gift beyond price. This reunion with JS’s forebears and children explores the vast span of genius comprised in one family\, from ravishing arias to intricate orchestral works. The program closes with his famous son\, Carl Philipp Emanuel\, as our Principal Cello Timo-Veikko Valve performs his virtuosic and vivid Cello Concerto in A major. This is an unmissable concert that reveals why many believe JS Bach to be the greatest\, and most enduring\, composer\, of all time. \nArtists\nRichard Tognetti director & Violin; Anna Dowsley mezzo-soprano; Helena Rathbone violin; Timo-Veikko Valve cello; Erin Helyard harpsichord & fortepiano; Australian Chamber Orchestra \nProgram\nJohann Ludwig Bach Overture – Suite in G \nJohann Sebastian Bach Sonata à 5 in F \nRobert Schumann Six Fugues on B-A-C-H arr. for Strings \nJohann Christian Bach\nMeine Freundin\, du bist schön: Ciaccona ‘Meine Freund is Mein’ \nJohann Sebastian Bach Cantata ‘Widerstehe doch der Sünde’\, BWV54: Aria Widerstehe doch der Sünde’ \nJohann Sebastian Bach Concerto for Two Violins in D minor \nSofia Gubaidulina Reflections on B.A.C.H \nJohann Sebastian Bach Ich habe genug \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto No.12 in A K414 \nJohann Christoph Friedrich Bach Die Amerikanerin: ‘Mein Herz fleucht ihr Entgegen’ \nCarl Philipp Emanuel Bach Cello Concerto in A\, Wq.172 \n\nSaturday 18 & Monday 20 June 2022 7.30pm\, MRC Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $171 ($151 Concession)\nA Reserve $161 ($141 Concession)\nB Reserve $141 ($120 Concession)\nC Reserve $100 ($83 Concession)\nD Reserve $59 ($59 Concession) \nGourp 10+\nPremium $129\nA Reserve $121\nB Reserve $106\nC Reserve $75\nD Reserve $45 \nStudent\n$25 \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ferruccio Furlanetto in Concert
DESCRIPTION:With a voice that speaks volumes in every note\, Ferruccio Furlanetto is one of the greatest basses of our time.\nOver five decades\, Ferruccio Furlanetto has become one of the world’s most sought after singers. Renowned for his vast range\, thundering vocal power and masterful acting\, he has performed on opera’s finest stages from Milan\, Paris and Vienna to London and New York\, collaborating with leading orchestras and conductors including Herbert von Karajan\, Sir Georg Solti and the legendary Leonard Bernstein. \nThroughout his acclaimed international career\, Furlanetto has made Verdi’s heroes his own\, dominating the titular Attila and Filippo in Don Carlo. At Melbourne’s Arts Centre\, he was unforgettable as the quixotic Don Quichotte and\, at St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre\, he was the first Italian bass to appear in the title role of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and as Prince Gremin in Eugene Onegin. Here\, the focus on vocal ability is singular. For Furlanetto\, recitals provide ‘the possibility to paint with the colours of our voice and our intentions… creating images and feelings that will stay in the heart and not in the eyes’. \nAccompanied by pianist Natalia Sidorenko\, Furlanetto traverses the emotional landscape of Brahms\, Mussorgsky and Rachmaninov before filling Melbourne Recital Centre with beloved bass arias from The Marriage of Figaro\, Don Giovanni\, Boris Godunov and Don Carlo. \n\nWednesday 1 June 2022 7.30pm – MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $149 ($134 Concession)\nA Reserve $119 ($107 Concession)\nB Reserve $79 ($71 Concession)\nC Reserve $59 ($53 Concession)

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Rossini's Petite messe solennelle
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus returns to the stage with Rossini’s essential masterpiece.\nAbout the concert\nThe Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus returns to the stage with Rossini’s essential masterpiece\, Petite messe solennelle. Warren Trevelyan-Jones directs four stunning soloists\, accompanied by Melbourne-based Jacob Abela on piano and harmonium. \nThe Petite messe solennelle (1863) is arguably one of the most remarkable of all the nineteenth-century choral masterworks. The style that Rossini uses in his twilight years (this being one of the last works he wrote before his death in 1868) is comparable to the choral music of Haydn\, Fauré and Poulenc. \nThe beautiful melodies in this work are intertwined with the comedic sense of irony that gave Rossini so much of his success with the opera buffa genre. This piece is neither small\, nor solemn! \nRossini structured his mass in the tradition of the missa solemnis but added the petite label as a little joke. He wrote on the final page of the manuscript: ‘Dear Lord\, here it is finished\, this poor little mass. Have I just written sacred music\, or rather\, sacrilegious music? I was born for opera buffa\, as you know well. Not much technique\, a little bit of heart\, that’s all.’ \n\nSaturday 28 May 2022 7.30pm \nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nStandard $49 ($44 Concession)\nGroup 10+ $41

SUMMARY:Seraphim Trio and Chris Moore
DESCRIPTION:Sonic cohesion and uniform musical mastery.\nProgram\nBrett Dean Imaginary Ballet \nDora Pejačević Piano Quartet\, Op.25 \nAbout the artists\nHelen Ayres violin\nAnna Goldsworthy piano\nTimothy Nankervis cello\nChristopher Moore viola \nSeraphim Trio is as much a lifelong friendship as a chamber ensemble. Acclaimed for its encyclopedic projects and inventive collaborations\, their sonic cohesion and uniform musical mastery is a constant in all its performances. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Primrose Potter Salon will seem them collaborate with violist Christopher Moore to present Imaginary Ballet\, the breathtaking new composition by Brett Dean. \nInspired by Brett’s lockdown listening\, Imaginary Ballet is a suite of fast\, dance-like movements which carry rhythmic drive and bullish\, effervescent energy. A series of slower interludes endows the work with oases of silhouettes and shadows\, at the centre of which is an elegy to Brett’s dear friend and former viola teacher\, John Curro. \nPaired with a rarely heard piano quartet by one of Croatia’s most important 20th century composers\, Dora Pejačević. Written in late Romantic style\, the quartet is a blend of warm\, lyrical melody and spirited dance. Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor remains a cornerstone of the repertoire and is the first major piece composed for the genre. \n\nThursday 26 May 2022 6pm\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) \n\n\nTICKETS Standard $50 ($40 Concession)
