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

The first concert in the season features intense Russian music opening with
Rachmaninov's brooding
Isle of the Dead and concluding with his brilliant
Symphonic
Dances
Performed by The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Simon Hewett (conductor)
and Antoinette Halloran (soprano)

The remarkable music scheme that started in Venezuela in 1975 known as
Venezuelan Sistema has given the world some wonderful and inspiring
classical music performances and musicians. Diego Matheuz is one of the the
latest musicians to emerge from this powerhouse, and at just 26, is bringing his
combination of Latin flair and technical mastery to the world’s leading
orchestras. This concert is your chance to experience one of today’s rising
musical personalities in a program of sumptuous, powerful classics. He is joined
in this concert by Australian pianist Ian Munro.
Performed by The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Diego Matheuz (conductor)
and Ian Munro (piano)

 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.
