Forthcoming Concerts
Sunday 30 March 2014, 2.00pm
Daylesford Town Hall,
Vincent Street, Daylesford
Drama, Energy and Colour
|
|
The restless power of Mozart's Don Giovanni Overture meets the energy of Beethoven's Second Symphony. This is music full of the daring and energetic power of a composer changing music forever. Tchaikovsky was also pushing boundaries when he wrote his violin concerto - it was considered unplayable! History has destroyed that assertion and pronounced it to be one of the most loved of all violin concertos.
When Ji Won Kim performed the Beethoven Concerto with us last March the audience response was overwhelming. We are thrilled to announce her return in 2014 in what will be an unforgettable evening of wonderful music.
Ji Won received the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Award in 2009 and has since played as soloist with nearly all of the major Australian Orchestras including the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Sir Andrew Davis, as well as many overseas orchestras.

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.
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.
