Featured Franck & Ravel

Queensland Symphony Orchestra: Franck & Ravel

QPAC Corner Melbourne St and Grey St, South Bank, QLD, Australia
When French composer Paul Dukas wrote The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, he probably didn’t realise it would become one of the catchiest works in music history. It’s a tale of magic and ego: a budding magician bites off more than he can chew. You can imagine the character is Mickey Mouse, if…

Featured Editor's Choice Convergence

Australian String Quartet: Convergence

Elder Hall University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA, Australia
“The sublime meets the sensational” in a program that showcases the lyricism, innovation and emotional intensity of three legendary composers.

Melbourne Chamber Orchestra: Carnival

75 Reid Street, Fitzroy North 75 Reid St, Fitzroy North, VIC, Australia
Writing when he was a mere 16 years old, Mendelssohn noted that his newly composed Octet “must be played by all the instruments in symphonic orchestral style.” It beggars belief that someone so young could have written one of the grandest chamber music works. The Octet is epic in proportion,…
