SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Saint-Saëns' Organ Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Queensland Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici returns to lead the MSO in a program of orchestral favourites with an epic finale featuring the majestic grand organs of Melbourne Town Hall and Robert Blackwood Hall. \n\nDebussy’s famous Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) is a symphonic poem that some consider to be a turning point in music history\, as classical music entered the modern age.\nRavel’s Mother Goose is an idyllic evocation of childhood. Inspired by the fairy tale creators of the French Baroque\, the suite achieves its powerful emotional effect through the simple radiance of its poetic vision.\nSaint-Saëns’ thundering Organ Symphony is a stunning display of the visceral power of this colossal instrument. This symphony is probably best remembered in pop culture as the music to which Farmer Hoggett dances as he nurses his pig\, Babe\, back to health.\n\nMelbourne Symphony Orchestra\nUmberto Clerici conductor; Calvin Bowman organ \nDebussy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune\nRavel Mother Goose Suite\nSaint-Saëns Symphony No.3 Organ \nDuration: approx. 1 hour and 40 minutes including interval \n\nThursday 10 August 2023 7:30pm at Melbourne Town Hall Sold out\nFriday 11 August 2023 7:30pm at Robert Blackwood Hall Selling fast\nTICKETS: Standard $35-$105; Concession $30-$100; Child (August 11 performance only) $20

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Song and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra\nPeter Luff conductor\nRachael Tobin cello\n\nPROGRAM\nBonis Legendary Women\, three pieces for orchestra\nKodály Dances of Galánta\nAnna Clyne DANCE: for Cello and Orchestra\nRimsky-Korsakov Capriccio Espagnol \nAustralian horn player-turned-conductor Peter Luff partners up with the MSO to lead us through this eclectic dance party of a program. \n\nFrench composer Mélanie ‘Mel’ Bonis was highly regarded in her time\, but\, as with many women in classical music\, her presence has been largely obscured over the course of history. Fitting\, then\, that she should uncover three Legendary Women in this haunting piece of swirling harmonies and quiet strength.\nKodály is perhaps best remembered for inventing the Kodály method – a system known by primary school students and Sound of Music lovers all over the world – where notes of the scale are associated with hand signals (do\, re\, me etc.). Kodály’s other major contribution to music was his celebration of Hungarian folk melodies on the orchestral stage\, such as these beguiling and memorable dances from Galánta\, a town on the train line from Budapest to Vienna.\nBritish Anna Clyne is a young Grammy-nominated acoustic and electro-acoustic composer. Inspired by a poem by Rumi\, Clyne’s impressive concerto is performed by MSO Associate Principal Cello Rachael Tobin. Dedicated to her father\, DANCE spins us through many moods of dance: from contemplative minimalism with soaring melodies\, to lashings of industrial rhythmic urgency.\nWith boisterous percussion and jovial brass\, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol showcases the virtuosity of individual instruments in the orchestra through a vivid amalgamation of Spanish dances and Russian gypsy music.
