Please return again soon. | CinderellaIn this splendid Royal Ballet production of Cinderella the music is by Prokofiev and the choreography by Frederick Ashton.

Sidney Myer Free Concerts: No.4 - Four South American Seasons
|
|
White Hat always looks forward to the Sidney Myer Free Concerts as one of the
highlights of the summer in Melbourne. They are made available free to the
people of Melbourne (and visitors) through the philanthropy of the late
Sidney Myer and performed in the
wonderful outdoor Music Bowl which he also contributed to the city.
The Venezuelan conductor Diego Matheuz, here brings a celebration of dance
music which is sure to have patrons on the grass itching to get up and dance
because are not the simple repetitive rhythms of a Summdayze or Big
Day Out, but the full complex classical rhythms of a full orchestra.
Astor Piazzolla's masterpiece,
Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, is the Latin equivalent of
Vivaldi’s
famous work, and for it Matheuz
will be joined by young Australian violinist, Kristian Winther. The concert
culminates in a blaze of rhythmic energy with Moncayo’s jubilant
Huapango.

Russian Visions
|
 The
Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Tognetti (Artistic Director and Lead Violin),
Steven Osborne
(piano) and David
Elton (trumpet).
Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir is one of his sunniest and most exuberant works and
Shostakovich's first piano concerto is full of pyrotechnics for the pianist and
accompanying trumpet. What is sometimes less recognised is that this work calls
for first rate string playing from the orchestra. For that reason, White Hat
suggests you take the opportunity to get along and hear it with one of the best
string ensembles in Australia - or any other country for that matter.
