A u st r a l i an C H A M B E R ORCHESTRA RICHARD TOGNETTI / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Internationally renowned for inspired programming and the rapturous response of audiences and critics, the Australian Chamber Orchestra is a product of our country’s vibrant, adventurous and enquiring spirit. In performances across Australia, around the world and on many recordings, the ACO moves hearts and stimulates minds with repertoire spanning six centuries and a vitality and virtuosity unmatched by other ensembles.

Richard Tognetti has been Artistic Director and Lead Violin since 1989. Under his inspiring leadership, the ACO performs as a flexible and versatile “ensemble of soloists”, on modern and period instruments, as a chamber group, symphony orchestra and electro-acoustic collective. The ACO’s unique artistic style encompasses masterworks of the classical repertoire, innovative cross-artform projects and a vigorous commissioning program.

Several of the musicians perform with spectacularly fine instruments by history’s finest makers, including Stradivarius, Guarneri del Gesù, Guadagnini and A.E. Smith.

Fifty-three international tours across Asia, Europe and the USA have drawn outstanding reviews for the ACO’s performances at the world’s most prestigious concert halls, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall and Vienna’s Musikverein.

The ACO has 40 CDs and DVDs for sale at aco.com.au/shop, including the three-time ARIA Award-winning Bach CDs and the internationally acclaimed Mozart Violin Concertos and Grieg recordings.

The opportunity to hear Richard Tognetti perform one of Mozart’s enchanting, theatrical violin concertos is not to be missed. Tognetti’s Mozart recordings have been singled out by critics internationally as arguably the best on offer.

Mozart’s Symphony No.25 is the dramatic opening music in the film Amadeus and was inspired by Haydn’s thrilling Sturm und Drang symphonies, such as No.49.

Sydney Opera House Sun 10 Feb 2pm

Australian composer Brett Dean received one of the world’s most prestigious composition prizes, the Grawemeyer Award, for his violin concerto, so we await his electric violin concerto for Richard Tognetti with much anticipation.

* Brett Dean’s Electric Preludes has been commissioned for Richard Tognetti, the ACO and Festival Maribor by Jan Minchin.

In May, Richard Tognetti took a crew of surfers, musicians and film makers to Ningaloo Reef, where the desert meets the sea. They spent two unforgettable weeks surfing, making music and filming and the result is The Reef.

Immerse yourself in Jon Frank’s images of the ocean, the world’s best fin-free surfers, the arid desert landscape and the starry sky, as an incredible array of music swirls around you. It will alter your perception of a classical music concert through the prism of a transcendental surf film. You’ll never forget it.

Barry Humphries selects, presents and performs music from the Weimar Republic, a time between the World Wars where German art and music leaked into the basements of an increasingly loose Berlin society. Transgressive cabaret sensation Meow Meow joins us for the racier numbers, including a duet with Humphries.

An aficionado of the art and music of this turbulent era, Barry Humphries has curated a concert that rediscovers the lost music of Krenek, Schulhoff, Toch, Brandt and Grosz, alongside familiar songs from The Threepenny Opera and Marlene Dietrich’s 1930 cult film The Blue Angel.

AC O2 embarks on its first national tour, led by Richard Tognetti and our principal musicians and starring some of Australia’s finest emerging string players.

Featuring several of the greatest works for string orchestra, this program showcases AC O2’s virtuosity and vivacity, in high-octane Baroque and neoclassical music.

We also celebrate the Australian return of “magnetic young German cellist Daniel MüllerSchott,” (New York Times) performing two Vivaldi Cello Concertos and Bloch’s intensely melancholic From Jewish Life. He will spar with our own principal cellist Timo-Veikko Valve in Vivaldi’s Concerto for two cellos.

Brahms’ Piano Quintet, both powerful and tender, is one of the masterworks of 19th-century chamber music, almost symphonic in its breadth and depth.

Known for sharp, vibrant performances of programs that are anything but conventional, Jeremy Denk is America’s most communicative pianist, as a writer, programmer and, most importantly, performer. He is able to take some of the most complex music written and make it sing. Together we will explore Bach and Nancarrow canons.

Denk describes Ives’ Concord Sonata as “one of the most profoundly nostalgic and tender projects in all of music.” It is this American pianist’s calling card, vividly portraying the idealism, strength, hope, and fierce individuality inherent in the American ethos.

Rameau’s flair for rhythm and melody, and feeling for choreography, leads many to name him one of the greatest-ever composers for the theatrical stage. Bonachela’s dynamic choreography, innate musicality and theatricality serve to illuminate this brilliant music.

Andreas Scholl is famous worldwide for his stylish performances of Baroque music and it is uplifting to perform Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater with him, as it is to begin the concert with Vivaldi’s sprightly Concerto Grosso RV117.

Excitingly, in this concert, Scholl fulfils a longheld desire to match contemporary music with the Baroque. Arvo Pärt’s vocal lines are as consoling and ideal for the intense beauty of Scholl’s voice as Vivaldi’s. Alongside these moments of reflection, full-throttle quartets by Schnittke and Glass.

Richard Tognetti writes: “What is it we feel when part of a crowd? Is it fear or empowerment? Do we lose ourselves, or find our real selves? Is a crowd a mob, an ignorant mass of unthinking beings? Or is it an intelligent body, capable of thought processes and invention of which individuals alone would not be capable?

We spend much of our life in crowds: when we go to the football or attend a concert, when we cross the street at peak hour, when we worship, mourn, protest or feast, we often do so as part of a crowd.

The Crowd examines the nature of the crowd, in its many manifestations, both human and in the natural world.”

B r a h ms 4 & S T E V E N I S S E RLI S DVOŘÁK Cello Concerto BRAHMS Symphony No.4 Richard Tognetti Director & Violin Steven Isserlis Cello Canberra Sat 19 Oct 8pm Sydney Opera House Sun 27 Oct 2pm, Tue 29 Oct 8pm

The Fourth is Brahms’ final powerful symphonic statement. Here, Brahms takes flight, as he melds the soaring sounds of Romanticism to classical structure in a constantly evolving drama.

Brahms premiered the symphony with a small orchestra of forty-eight musicians, which he declined to augment. We follow his lead and perform with wind instruments from Brahms’ time.

Steven Isserlis is one of our favourite collaborators – the epitome of the intelligent and passionate cellist. There could be no better soloist for Dvořák’s ardent and much-loved concerto. Isserlis first played it as a child. “I used to think it was so joyous,” he says. “As I’ve got older, the more tragic it seems.”
