SUMMARY:Royal Melbourne Philharmonic: Handel’s Messiah 2023
DESCRIPTION:World record performance in Melbourne Town Hall\n\nThe 40th Sir Bernard Heinze Memorial Concert \n“The Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra delivered another vibrant and polished reading.Music director Andrew Wailes conducted with precision and infectious energy urging the chamber-sized orchestra and 100-strong choir to some stirring renditions of the big choir pieces including the famous Hallelujah\, Glory to God and For unto us a Child is born. Wailes\, favouring brisk tempos\, made for exciting listening…” – The Age\n“Animation and attention to detail were distinctive features of this performance. The forward momentum established in the opening Sinfony never flagged. The RMP Choir sang with scores neatly closed by their sides for several key choruses\, alert to the subtleties of dynamics and tempo in Wailes’ direction. And there were plenty of those to keep the audience absorbed as the work assumed an unexpected freshness…  This was an experienced choir\, trained with painstaking care to form a disciplined ensemble… the final “Amen” chorus was greeted by such a prolonged standing ovation\, with cheers and whistles usually heard at sporting events” – Classic Melbourne\nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra presents Handel’s iconic Messiah for the world record 244th time since 1853. The world’s most-loved oratorio\, Messiah is famous for its sparkling arias\, powerful choruses\, and surging climaxes (including the magnificent Hallelujah! Chorus and the equally thrilling Amen! Choruswhich concludes the work). \nFeaturing over 120 talented musicians from the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra\, the grand Town Hall organ\, and a magnificent cast of outstanding Australian and international soloists\, this concert promises to thrill as ever under the direction of Andrew Wailes – widely regarded as one of Australia’s foremost exponents of this great work. Australia’s leading baroque soprano\, Perth-based Sara Macliver returns to headline this year’s solo quartet. She will be joined by much-loved mezzzo-soprano Sally-Anne Russell\,and making his RMP debut is acclaimed American tenor Kyle Stegall who has performed as soloist with ensembles across the world under celebrated conductors such as William Christie (Les Arts Florissants)\, Manfred Honeck (Pittsburgh Symphony)\, and Masaaki Suzuki (Bach Collegium Japan). London-based Australian baritone Jeremy Kleeman returns to his hometown of Melbourne to complete this outstanding quartet. \nThe RMP’s annual performance of this masterpiece is a much-anticipated highlight of Melbourne’s concert calendar. Don’t miss being part of this wonderful musical tradition. \n“Wailes made sure that the pace did not slacken… Wailes\, who cuts a dapper\, self-possessed figure on the podium\, showed an impressive compulsion\, driving his forces along with insistent power. It is hard to recall when this oratorio has been treated with such attention given to its dramatic potential; no singer – soloist or chorister – was given latitude to generate that fruity and orotund timbre familiar from performances of 20 years ago.” – Clive O’Connell (The Age)\nAndrew Wailes\, conductor\nSara Macliver\, soprano\nSally-Anne Russell\,mezzo soprano\nKyle Stegall\, tenor\nJeremy Kleeman\, baritone\nStefan Cassomenos\, harpsichord\nAndrew Bainbridge\,chamber and grand organ \nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir\nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Orchestra\n\nTICKETS NOW ON SALE!\n\n\nONLINE BOOKINGS: www.rmp.org.au\n\nNote: ALL A and B Reserve and Balcony seats can be chosen and reserved online via the RMP website and Trybooking.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProudly sponsored by the City of Melbourne

SUMMARY:Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra - Mahler Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection"
DESCRIPTION:Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra – 90th Birthday Concert \nIt is almost exactly 90 years since the first Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra concert was given in the Melbourne Town Hall on 30 September 1933. Ten years ago\, to mark the 80th birthday of the Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra\, the decision was made to present a performance of the monumental Eighth Symphony of Gustav Mahler\, the “Symphony of a Thousand”. \nFor this\, the 90th anniversary\, the orchestra presents his more youthful\, but perhaps even more ecstatic\, Second Symphony. Set for soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists\, mixed voice chorus and large orchestra (quadruple wind\, organ\, harps and additional off-stage trumpets\, horns and percussion)\, Mahler’s Second Symphony demands very spacious acoustics such as those of the Melbourne Town Hall. Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra is confident that you will find this performance to be truly momentous.\nRick Prakhoff – conductor\nAnna-Louise Cole – soprano\nBelinda Paterson – mezzo-soprano\nMelbourne Bach Choir \nSunday 10 September 2023 – 2:30 pm\nMelbourne Town Hall corner Swanston and Collins Streets\nTICKETS: A Reserve: $95; B Reserve: Adults $79\, Concession $74\, Student $38.50; C Reserve: Adults $65\, Concession $59\, Student $29.50; D Reserve: Adults $39\, Concession $34\, Student $19.50\n\n\nOnline Bookings close 12.00 noon\, Sunday 10 September 2023\nBox Office Sales at Melbourne Town Hall from 1.30 pm \n\nPhone Bookings 8899 7445             Buy Tickets
