Forthcoming Concerts

Emperor
|
|
Beethoven's Emperor Concerto was voted Number 1 in ABC Classic FM's top 100 concertos. Who is surprised? Not us! This music whose power reaches us so deeply will be performed by the wonderful pianist Hoang Pham, whose personal and electric music-making saw him win the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Award last year.
Standing alongside the Emperor will be Tchaikovsky's most personal work, his Pathétique Symphony, whose hostile reception plunged Tchaikovsky into despair. This is one of his most heart-wrenching, passionate and beloved works.
The concert will also feature the premiere performance of "The Death of Pythagóras at Metaпontum", a work by the 2014 Zelman Symphony University of Melbourne Emerging Composer, Michael Bakrnčev.
Mark Shiell will present a pre-concert talk in the auditorium commencing 7.30pm.

The Planets
|
|
We asked - you voted - we chose.
Gustav Holst's The Planets is a favourite of audiences and it appears you are no exception! After Mahler 8 we are ready to take on the world (and beyond). Our orchestra and you, our audience, have grown so much together in recent years. We are looking forward to sharing this interstellar musical adventure.
Joining us for this journey into lightspeed (and to play Vaughan William's beautiful Oboe Concerto) will be the extraordinary young oboist, Andrew Kawai, finalist in last year's ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Award, when he won the "People's Choice Prize", "Concerto Finalist Prize" and the "Best Recital Prize".
Mark Shiell will present a pre-concert talk in the auditorium commencing 7.30pm.
