Australian Chamber Orchestra A dedicated troupe of diverse musicians, we throw ourselves head first into performances that take us from red-dust regional centres to New York night clubs, and from Australian capital cities to the world’s most prestigious concert halls, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and Vienna’s Musikverein. Remarkable Australian violinist Richard Tognetti has been at our helm for the last 25 years. Tognetti challenges, inspires and energises musicians and audiences, programming unique combinations of music spanning six centuries. Under his leadership we perform classical masterworks, world premieres and innovative multimedia projects as a chamber group, symphony orchestra and electro-acoustic ensemble. Several ACO musicians have moved across the world to join our intrepid ensemble. We have coaxed some of the best string players from Canada, England, Finland, Japan and Russia to join the home-grown talent in our ranks. Strengthening these talents are several precious, rare instruments honed by some of history’s finest craftsmen: Stradivari, Guarneri del Gesù, Guadagnini and Gasparo da Salò. When not on stage we’re in the recording studio, with over 40 CDs and DVDs in the catalogue, including three-time ARIA Award-winning Bach CDs, internationally awarded surf/music documentary Musica Surfica and acclaimed recordings of Mozart’s violin concertos. “If there’s a better chamber orchestra in the world today, I haven’t heard it.” THE GUARDIAN (UK), 2011

RESPIGHI Ancient Airs and Dances: Suite No.3 BOCCHERINI Cello Concerto in G GIOVANNI SOLLIMA L.B. Files [AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE] HAYDN Cello Concerto in C VERDI String Quartet (arr. for string orchestra) — Richard Tognetti Director & Violin Giovanni Sollima Cello One of the greatest cello pieces ever written, Haydn’s C major cello concerto is a crowd favourite and the ideal showpiece for passionate Italian cellist Giovanni Sollima’s Australian debut. Sollima is renowned for his invigorating performance style and it is exhilarating to experience him performing alongside Richard Tognetti. A review of their European performance read: “Sollima issued a challenge to all who think the cello is for the faint of heart…this was music that lifted the cello into the realms of the musical gods.” (MusicWeb International) An internationally recognised musician, Sollima has composed for diverse artists including legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma and 70s punk icon Patti Smith. In this concert you will hear Sollima’s Boccherini-inspired L.B. Files flanked by an authentic Luigi Boccherini (L.B.) cello concerto.

SIBELIUS Symphony No.6 MAHLER Symphony No.4 — Richard Tognetti Director & Violin Kiera Duffy Soprano
Adelaide Tue 24 Jun 8pm Brisbane Mon 16 Jun 8pm
Richard Tognetti’s critically acclaimed and awardwinning direction of our large-scale orchestral concerts are an annual highlight. Under his direction, our Beethoven 9 concerts won Limelight’s Best Orchestral Concert in 2012. For the next step in his symphony series, Tognetti tackles the biggest symphonic configuration in ACO history, featuring two ACO premieres penned by two of history’s greatest composers for the form. Tognetti explores how astounding and diverse the symphonic experience can be, pairing the shortest and sweetest of all Mahler’s symphonies, the radiant “Heavenly” Symphony No.4, with Sibelius’ serenely beautiful Symphony No.6, which the composer said always reminded him “of the scent of the first snow.”

Satu Vänskä performs firecracker showpiece Subito on the ACO’s Stradivarius violin, launching us into a chamber music concert of Slavic melancholy and joy. Written just prior to the Nazi invasion of the USSR, Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet is a dramatic and harrowing premonition of the coming terror. Melting away the turbulence of Shostakovich is the bright, melodious joy of Dvořák’s piano quintet, one of the greatest pieces of chamber music in the canon. Internationally regarded for performances of “immense power and an extraordinary range of colours” (New York Times), Finnish pianist Paavali Jumppanen is our perfect partner for these stirring works.

Adelaide Tue 2 Sep 8pm Brisbane Mon 18 Aug 8pm Canberra Sat 23 Aug 8pm Melbourne – Arts Centre Sun 31 Aug 2.30pm, Mon 1 Sep 8pm
In a dramatic collaboration with Bell Shakespeare, we share the stage with esteemed actors who give life to the stories which inspired Janáček’s Intimate Letters and Smetana’s From My Life. Our theatrical staging of Janáček’s first quartet, the Kreutzer Sonata, received glowing reviews and it is exciting to give his second quartet Intimate Letters the same treatment, performing an arrangement for string orchestra under the direction of London Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Gordan Nikolic. Inspired by more than 700 passionate letters written between Janáček and his much younger, married muse, Intimate Letters explores their overwhelming and obsessive love. Smetana’s autobiographical From My Life soars with the joy and hope of childhood which gradually derails and ultimately descends into despair, as the composer faces the inescapable fate of impending deafness. 8

PROKOFIEV Five Melodies: Selections ARVO PÄRT Fratres PROKOFIEV Violin Sonata No.2 DEBUSSY Violin Sonata BEETHOVEN Violin Sonata No.10 in G — Richard Tognetti Violin Steven Osborne Piano
Melbourne Recital Centre Mon 25 Aug 8pm
Pianist Steven Osborne’s recent concerts with us were hailed as “the most thrilling musical memory of the entire 2012 season” (The Australian), “an evening of pure delight” (West Australian) and “a ripsnorter of a performance” (News Local), so it’s no surprise Richard Tognetti chose Osborne to partner in this rare and intimate recital. Together they perform three violin sonatas, Prokofiev’s virtuosic and lyrical showpiece, Debussy’s powerful lastever completed work and the final and most reflective of Beethoven’s violin sonatas. The concert opens with Prokofiev’s lyrical and graceful melodies and Fratres, described by Tognetti as “Arvo Pärt at his instrumental best”.

BEETHOVEN Coriolan – Overture BEETHOVEN Triple Concerto JONNY GREENWOOD Water [AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE] BEETHOVEN Symphony No.1 — Richard Tognetti Director & Violin Timo-Veikko Valve Cello Yevgeny Sudbin Piano Our recent Beethoven concerts have been reviewed with enormous enthusiasm: “[ACO] play particularly well when the fire is in their belly, and nobody puts it there like Beethoven.” (Sydney Morning Herald) This concert features three bold Beethoven works: his majestic first foray into symphonic writing, the stormy and drama-filled Coriolan – Overture and his Triple Concerto, featuring playful dynamism between Richard Tognetti, ACO principal cellist Timo-Veikko Valve and emotionally expansive Russian pianist Yevgeny Sudbin. We’re thrilled to premiere the long-awaited new piece by acclaimed musician Jonny Greenwood. Following his latest international tour with legendary band Radiohead, Greenwood joined us in the studio writing the new work Water especially for us. One of the world’s greatest guitarists, Greenwood also writes powerful orchestral music including the award-winning film score for There Will Be Blood, as well as film scores The Master, Norwegian Wood and We Need to Talk About Kevin. 10

STRAVINSKY Divertimento (arr. for violin and string orchestra) DVOŘÁK Serenade for Strings ENESCU Octet, Op.7 (arr. for string orchestra) — Anthony Marwood Guest Director & Violin
Adelaide Tue 18 Nov 8pm Brisbane Mon 24 Nov 8pm
Acclaimed British violinist Anthony Marwood is loved by audiences, critics and players for his distinctive playing, golden sound and inspiring leadership. An excellent opening for this showcase of string orchestra repertoire, Stravinsky’s balletic tribute to Tchaikovsky was recently recorded by Marwood in a performance hailed as “scintillating from start to finish” (BBC Music Magazine). One of our favourite string works, Dvořák’s uplifting Serenade fills the hall with pure, unadulterated joy. A natural extension of the Dvořák and Tchaikovsky Serenades, late-Romantic composer Enescu’s gutsy piece is “a powerful work of genius…in concert, it would undoubtedly bring down the house” (Edition Silvertrust).

Invoking the diabolical technical wizardry of Paganini, Tognetti performs numerous reworked Paganini caprices more devilishly difficult than the originals. Schubert was utterly enraptured by Paganini’s talent. The flashing scales of Schubert’s Quartettsatz require breakneck virtuosity from the violins and it is a thrilling piece to play and to experience live. Hindemith’s melody provides a touching moment of repose in this otherwise full-throttle concert. 12
