Mozart By Moonlight
|
|
Enjoy a wonderful night of
Mozart’s best known arias from operas including
The Magic Flute,
Cosi Fan Tutte,
The Marriage of Figaro and
Don Giovanni. White Hat
suggests that a night of Mozart under the stars in the Royal Botanic Gardens
could be a perfect romantic outing - provided you keep an eye your partner.
Ladies may find that inspired by Don Giovanni their gentleman friend has
disappeared with another woman before the end of the night. And a pair of
gentlemen heading off to buuy drinks for their girlfriends at interval could
come back and find them, inspired by Fiordiligi and Dorabella,
already hooked up with two other men. Full details and booking information at
Mozart by Moonlight. |

St Lawrence String Quartet and Diana Doherty
|
 White
Hat suggests that lovers of the oboe should head out of their way for this
concert. Diana Doherty is an Australian oboist who has won international
acclaim. In this concert she joins with the fine St Lawrence String Quartet to
perform Mozart's F major oboe quartet which is tuneful and refined - you would
expect nothing less of Mozart and later performs Australian composer Matthew
Hindson's Rush with its driving rhythms borrowing strongly from rock and
pop music. Mozart's quartet is flanked by string quartets from fellow Viennese,
Haydn and Beethoven.

St Lawrence String Quartet and Diana Doherty
|

A fine string quartet, one of the best oboists in the world, a Mozart chamber
work full of tuneful grace and a Dvorák quartet ending with a movement of
exuberant optimism. White Hat suggests it would be a dreary soul indeed who
wouldn't enjoy this concert.

Danielle de Niese with the Australian Chamber Orchestra
|
Danielle de Niese (soprano)
has long been on White Hat's list of
Significant Melbourne People.
She was born in Melbourne and won Young Talent Time aged 9,
then moved to Los Angeles, won an Emmy and made her debut with the LA Opera aged
15. She has blossomed into one of the hottest properties in opera, enrapturing
audiences in roles like Cleopatra, Euridice and Susanna at Glyndebourne, the
Metropolitan Opera and on screen.
To celebrate her professional debut in her home country, De Niese sings a
specially commissioned Australian work, which also marks the centenary of
Australia’s Nobel laureate
Patrick White. The fireworks of
Mozart's
Exsultate jubilatee
is contrasted Schubert's haunting song, Death and the Maiden. The
Australian Chamber Orchestra (Richard Tognetti Artistic Director and Lead
Violin) will then perform Schubert's masterly quartet (arranged for string
orchestra) which uses that same song as an inspiration.

Melbourne Town Hall Proms - Enigma Variations
|
|
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Christopher Seaman (conductor), Radovan
Vlatkovic (horn) and Oystein Baadsvik tuba.
This concert celbrates the tenth anniversary of the Melbourne International
Festival of Brass and two of the world’s great brass soloists join the MSO.
Framing the classic concertos for the horn and tuba are the brilliant,
folksong-inspired orchestral variations by Kodály and the stirring Enigma
Variations by Elgar. The Enigma is a particularly appropriate choice because of
the starring and virtuosic role Elgar assigns teh brass in his masterly
orchestration.Presented in collaboration with the Melbourne International
Festival of Brass.

Mozart, Handel & Vivaldi Concertos
|
The Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Egarr (Guest Director, Harpsichord, Fortepiano)
and Satu Vänskä (Lead Violin)
Keyboard players, conductor, historian, and director of the Academy of Ancient Music, Richard Egarr directs this concert from the harpsichord
and performs Mozart's delightful Piano Concerto No.12 on the fortepiano. White
Hat suggests you take the opportunity to hear the difference it make to have a
Mozart concerto played on the fortepiano rather than an overblown concert grand. Satu Vänskä is soloist in a Vivaldi concerto on the
ACO's
Stradivarius violin.

Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Beautiful Minds
|
 In
an age when "awesome" has come to mean fleetingly interesting rather than
inspiring awe, you could be forgiven for ignoring the publicist's attachment of
the word "beautiful minds" to this concert. However in this case White Hat
believes the hype is well founded. To have written magical works by your mid
teens and by your death in your mid thirties to have left the world with some of
its most glorious music does require a beautiful mind and both Mozart and
Mendelssohn possessed one.
Mozart's clarinet concerto was written for the basset clarinet of the period
but is most often heard today on the modern orchestral clarinet involving the
minor rewriting of some of the passages featuring the lower notes. Only a few
notes you may say, but with Mozart every note is important. Here is a rare
opportunity to hear Mozart's clarinet concerto featuring the instruments for
which he wrote it.Craig Hill (bassett clarinet) and Madeleine Easton (period
violin) perform with the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer)
7pm, Wed 24th, Fri 26th, Wed 31st Oct, Fri 2nd & Sat 3rd Nov
