Mostly Mozart: Drama!
|
|
Orchestra Victoria
and the Australian National Academy of Music with Alexander Morris (clarinet)
perform:
The urgent opening gesture of Mozart's Symphony No.40 ushers us into a dark
and dramatic world of turbulent operatic emotion, in the words of one critic it
is "a work of passion, violence and grief". This most famous of Mozart's
symphonies is instantly recognisable and gripping. Equally powerful is Carl
Weber's First Clarinet Concerto, a glittering star turn for an instrument with a
mercurial temperament and a gift for virtuoso 'vocal' acrobatics. Clearly talent
ran in the family: Weber was Mozart's cousin-in-law. In the spotlight is ANAM
clarinettist Alexander Morris and Orchestra Victoria (no strangers to opera)
directed from the violin by Concertmaster Adam Choulabi. Join us for tea and a
morning of danger, drama and dazzling playing. Morning tea available from
10:45am. |

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
