Australian World Orchestra: A Force of Nature
24 November 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT
According to Sir Simon Rattle, conducting the Australian World Orchestra is “like lassoing galaxies”. Don’t miss this stellar lineup of our best musicians from around the globe when Alexander Briger takes to the podium for Mahler’s Ninth Symphony. A powerful meditation on life and death, it was the composer’s last completed work, written while in mourning for his daughter and consumed by thoughts of his own mortality.
