2012 NATIONAL CONCERT SEASON

1

AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

TOUR ONE

CHOPIN & MENDELSSOHN’S OCTET

RICHARD TOGNETTI // ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Paul Henderson-Kelly

Combining sparkling virtuosity with tender lyricism, Chopin’s First Piano Concerto is an ideal vehicle for the unique talents of Polina Leschenko. Although Górecki is best known for his haunting and heartfelt Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, his Piano Concerto bristles with driving rhythms and energy.

Richard Tognetti was appointed Artistic Director and Lead Violin in 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. In a nod to past traditions, only the cellists are seated – the resulting sense of energy and individuality is one of the most commented-upon elements of ACO performances.

Forty-nine 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, Vienna’s Musikverein and Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center.

The ACO has made many acclaimed recordings for labels including ABC Classics, BIS, Sony, Hyperion, EMI and Chandos (see aco.com.au/shop).

Highlights include the three-time ARIA Awardwinning Bach recordings and complete Mozart Violin Concertos. The ACO appears in the television series Classical Destinations II and the awardwinning film Musica Surfica.

Several of the ACO’s musicians perform with spectacularly fine instruments. Tognetti plays a 1743 Guarneri del Gesù violin, on loan from an anonymous Australian benefactor. Principal Cello Timo-Veikko Valve plays a 1729 Giuseppe Guarneri filius Andreæ cello, on loan from Mr Peter Weiss AM. Principal 2nd Violin Helena Rathbone plays a 1759 Guadagnini violin on loan from the Commonwealth Bank Group. Assistant Leader Satu Vänskä plays a 1728/29 Stradivarius violin owned by the ACO Instrument Fund, which gives investors and donors the opportunity to participate in the ownership of historic instruments.

The ACO’s ambitious national education program includes mentoring of outstanding young musicians, the elite training and regional touring orchestra ACO2 and schools programs.

Polina Leschenko

Marco Borggreve

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.

Mendelssohn’s Octet is a staple of the ACO’s repertoire, its carefree exuberance belying its fiendish technical intricacies.

“Some of the most poetic and devastatingly beautiful piano playing I have heard...

What a night.” The Herald

“The enthusiasm and tightness of the ACO was nowhere better shown than in the Mendelssohn with its joyful, sweeping opening movement, quicksilver scherzo and romping closing figure.”

Cumberland Newspapers “Eight players from the orchestra revelled in the musical high jinks of Mendelssohn’s Octet.”

Adelaide Advertiser The tonal riches of the ACO’s three legendary violins – Stradivari, Guarneri and Guadagnini – are revealed in Richard Tognetti’s specially created arrangement of Paganini’s dazzling Caprices.

Danielle de Niese was born in Melbourne and won Young Talent Time aged nine, 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.

This concert also celebrates the luscious ACO string sound with two opulent works by Elgar and Arensky after Tchaikovsky.

The Hilliard Ensemble

Friedrun Reinhold

The Hilliard Ensemble is famous for mesmerising performances and chart-topping recordings of early and contemporary vocal music. Gregorian chant and French medieval hymn hypnotically intertwine with Edwards’ orchestral setting of Veni Creator Spiritus (Come Holy Spirit). A cappella prayers from 15th century England and Arvo Pärt join Raskatov’s Russian Orthodox chant setting, written for The Hilliard Ensemble and string orchestra.

“De Niese has a voice made for Mozart: bright, beautiful, agile and creamy.”

National Public Radio “The joy of singing radiates from her.”

The Times

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. She also shines in Mozart’s joyous Exsultate jubilate, matched with a flourish by a symphony from one of Mozart’s early operas.

Schubert’s haunting song, Death and the Maiden, is at the heart of his famous and dramatic quartet.

TOUR FOUR // PRESENTED BY TRANSFIELD

Presented by the ACO and Tura New Music

TROUT QUINTET & QUARTET FOR THE END OF TIME

THE REEF

This concert pairs two great works inspired by very different experiences away from home, both written for the musicians available and, as a result, for unusual combinations of instruments.

In his most adventurous project to date, Richard Tognetti takes musicians and surfers to the rugged surf coast and tough desert landscape of northern Western Australia to create a new performance piece at the intersection of music and nature.

Aged 22, Schubert had his first holiday in the country.

In the Trout, he captures the mood of those carefree summer days and his ecstatic delight in the countryside, in warm, beguiling melodies and harmonies.

Travelling with Tognetti from Darwin to Perth via world heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, making music and surfing with the locals along the way, is a remarkable collection of artists: photographer Jon Frank, director Mick Sowry, composer Iain Grandage, didjeridu master Mark Atkins and the young musicians of ACO2.

camp, premiering it to an audience of inmates and guards. “Never,” he said, “was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension.” Critic Alex Ross calls it “the most ethereally beautiful music of the 20th century...as overpowering now as it was on that frigid night in 1941.”

Together they’ll create a performance using music and film to delve further into the links between surfing, the ocean, landscape and music previously illuminated in Musica Surfica and The Glide. Tognetti also directs ACO2, the next generation of Australia’s top string players, in Shostakovich, Bach and more.

ACO Principals are joined by clarinettist Paul Dean and dynamic young Israeli-Palestinian pianist Saleem Abboud Ashkar, making his Australian debut.

BEETHOVEN 9, ODE TO JOY

MOZART, HANDEL & VIVALDI CONCERTOS

The ACO’s internationally-acclaimed Beethoven symphony series reaches its climax with Symphony No.9, featuring one of the finest British choirs and an exceptional line-up of soloists.

One of the world’s finest keyboard players, respected conductor and historian, and director of the Academy of Ancient Music, musical firebrand Richard Egarr directs this concert of rousing Baroque music from the harpsichord and performs Mozart’s delightful Piano Concerto No.12 on the fortepiano.

Critics called the ACO’s recent Beethoven concert in London “the finest concert of the summer” and spoke of “thrilling playing”, “vibrant drive” and “total involvement”, concluding, “this compact chamber orchestra matches anything Europe can offer in energy, precision and interpretative rigour.”

Building to the symphony, a trio of serene yet intense works, swelling to Beethoven’s depiction of a sea voyage.

TOUR SEVEN // PRESENTED BY Commonwealth Bank

SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY

RUSSIAN VISIONS

A mutual passion for Rameau’s perfumed and powerful French Baroque dance music sparks this new production by Rafael Bonachela and Richard Tognetti. Rameau’s flair for rhythm and melody, and feeling for choreography, leads many to name him the greatest-ever ballet composer, certainly the most influential. Bonachela’s dynamic choreography, innate musicality and theatricality serve to illuminate this brilliant music.

As soon as he played with the ACO, Steven Osborne wanted to return with Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No.1, for it requires an immensely virtuosic string orchestra, flexibility and humour veering on craziness. The time has now come with this all-Russian concert.

Brimming with carefree energy, Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir is an exuberant postcard from an Italian summer holiday. “The ACO...set the audience in a spin with its heady version of Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence. Richard Tognetti was intent on making the most of the Russian nostalgia, romancing his violins, sending the audience into a clapping frenzy.” Herald Sun

“Sydney Dance Company is at the peak of its powers...some of the most exciting contemporary dance I’ve seen in years.”
