Melbourne Chamber Orchestra: Dancing Shadows
22 May @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm AEST

In this dynamic concert, much-loved MCO core members take centre stage in a program three centuries in the making.
Mozart’s Divertimento brims with youthful charm and elegance, while Andrew Ford’s Sad Jigs offers a poignant, whimsical take on dance forms through a contemporary Australian lens.
The program culminates in Dvořák’s joyful and expansive Quintet in G major, a richly textured celebration of Bohemian spirit.
