ILLUMINATE | Bruch, Britten & Tchaikovsky

Tuesday 16th February 2021 (This program has concluded)
In describing his own Les Illuminations, Benjamin Britten wrote, “The word ‘Illuminations’ suggests both the vision of a mystic and a brightly coloured picture.” It is this sense of a technicolour canvas that the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra invokes in ILLUMINATE, featuring works by Bruch, Britten and Tchaikovsky. Directed by Rachael Beesley and featuring soprano Jacqueline Porter, join us on a European musical journey from the comfort of the concert hall.

EMERGE | Haydn, Mozart & Mannheim
Friday 6th August 2021, 6:30pm
The second half of the 18th century was a time of extraordinary revolution in music, driven by many huge leaps in virtuosity made by musicians of the Mannheim court. Many techniques developed at Mannheim can be heard in Haydn's much-loved ‘Drum Roll’ Symphony, and Mozart's 'Haffner' Symphony and Horn Concertos were hugely influenced by the abilities of the musicians there. We are fortunate to hear one of the world's finest horn players, Anneke Scott, performing Horn Concerto No.3 for us.
