Some forthcoming choral concerts in Melbourne and Victoria:

Australian Chamber Orchestra & The Hilliard Ensemble

Hilliard EnsembleThe Australian Chamber Orchestra (Helena Rathbone Lead Violin) with The Hilliard Ensemble. White Hat refards The Hilliard Ensemble to be one of the finest male vocal ensembles in the world. Their attention to tuning and chording in Medieval and Renaissance music gives it a 'ring' not heard in ensembles who stick to compromise of the equal temperament of the keyboard. This attention to ensemble tuning also pays dividends in contemporary music. This promises to be a special concert.

Beethoven 9 - Ode to Joy

Clare College Choir

The Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Tognetti (Artistic Director and Lead Violin), Choir of Clare College, Cambridge (Graham Ross Director), Lucy Crowe (soprano), Fiona Campbell (mezzo soprano), Allan Clayton (tenor) Matthew Brook (bass)

White Hat has long believed that many modern performance of Beethoven symphonies by large symphony orchestras lack the vitality and drive of a performance by a first rate chamber orchestra - supplemented where necessary - of the proportions that Beethoven was writing for For those who share this view we suggest you look no further. Critics called the ACO's recent Beethoven concert in London “the finest concert of the summer” and spoke of “thrilling playing”, “vibrant drive” and “total involvement”, concluding, “this compact chamber orchestra matches anything Europe can offer in energy, precision and interpretative rigour.”

Joined by one of the finest British choirs this concert promises to be something special where every note Beethoven wrote can be heard rather than lost in a sea of overblown orchestral 'atmosphere'.
