Mozart's Clarinet
|
|
After two exhilarating performances in 2010 and 2012, we had to invite soloist David Griffiths for a repeat performance of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto - Mozart at his quintessential best.
We'll reprise Harry Sdraulig's Sinfonietta, a work he composed in 2015 for our orchestra as the Zelman Symphony - Melbourne University Emerging Composer in 2015.
And we close with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony. Despite Tchaikovsky initially concluding it was a failure, the symphony has become a staple of the repertoire and a favourite amongst audiences.

Verdi Requiem
|
|
Melbourne Bach Choir and Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra are proud to bring you the Verdi Requiem with a cast of four superb Australian soloists under the baton of Rick Prakhoff.
Soprano Helena Dix recently made her New York Metropolitan Opera debut. Last November, she sang the Verdi Requiem with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Jacqueline Dark is a multiple Helpmann and Green Room Award-winning mezzo-soprano. Diego Torre has sung leading tenor roles with Opera Australia and internationally. In addition to his international and OA reputation, bass baritone, Adrian Tamburini is well-known to Zelman Symphony audiences, having sung in Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 13, Babi Yar.
Often described as "Verdi’s greatest opera", his Requiem is an expansive yet tightly knit masterpiece of monumental drama and intense emotion.

Stradivarius Magic
|
|
We are honoured to be able to present one of the world’s leading violinists, the exciting Canadian superstar, Alexandre Da Costa to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto. Alexandre plays the 1701 Stradivarius "Deveault" the way a Strad should be played. He has given over two thousand concerts and recitals throughout North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
After the Beethoven we will present Sibelius Symphony No.1, the work that thrust Sibelius into international recognition.
