The transporting concert featured two world premieres by Australian composers, including Dulcie Holland's Piano Concertino.
An enthralling concert aurally encapsulating an emotive moment in time.
Despite a few odd choices in the program, this concert showed that there is always more to discover about the Bachs – even for an ensemble as steeped in them as the ACO.
Although pandemonium was the theme, the chaos was meticulously planned and Meow Meow was well in control of this performance – even with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra along for the ride.
Umberto Clerici, the QSO's Chief Conductor-to-be, struts his stuff in a supremely confident orchestral showcase.
Not seen for over 120 years, this meticulously reconstructed ballet offers ample colour and charm but lacks freshness.
This beautiful production is a clear sign that the future looks good for the Australian ballet scene.
Christie Whelan Browne plays eight diverse characters in this funny and insightful cabaret.
This entertaining, unbuttoned gig by soprano Eva Kong and jazz singer Asabi Goodman showed how enjoyable music making can be.
However he does it, this show by mentalist Scott Silven is baffling, brilliantly performed and hugely entertaining.
This concert delivers the sounds of Vienna with splendid playing, a unique sound and winning repertoire. Pass the Sachertorte please!
Two superb song cycles by Katy Abbott and Linda Kouvaras formed the core of this concert, both important works that deserve to receive stage time long into the future.
