SUMMARY:James Ehnes with Orion Weiss | at UKARIA
DESCRIPTION:Superstar Canadian violinist James Ehnes joins forces with his longtime duo partner\, the celebrated American pianist Orion Weiss\, to present a recital of duo repertoire. Ehnes is one of the great violinists on the global stage: a fixture as concerto soloist with orchestras like the New York and London Philharmonics and the Boston Symphony\, and recitalist at Carnegie Hall\, Verbier Festival and other venues across Europe\, Ehnes is a two-time GRAMMY Award-winner with an extensive discography. Weiss is one of the most sought-after concert pianists in the US: a regular soloist with LA and New York Philharmonics\, he is renowned for his ‘powerful technique and exceptional insight’. For their recital at UKARIA\, Ehnes and Weiss offer a rare opportunity for Australian audiences to experience two star soloists in an exceptionally intimate setting. \nThe lush extravagance of Korngold’s Suite from Much Ado About Nothing is answered with a different kind of cantabile in Brahms’ tender\, intimate G major sonata: sometimes referred to as the Regenlied (Rain song) sonata\, its first listeners described the work as possessing an atmosphere of ‘resigned reconciliation’. \nFollowing an interval\, Ehnes and Weiss travel in time in order to contrast French and Norwegian takes on the violin-piano duo. While the first world war raged\, French composer Claude Debussy published his only work for this instrumentation\, a sonata he described as ‘full of tumultuous joy’. Mercurial\, dream-like\, laced with an ardent optimism\, the sonata would become Debussy’s last composition. Edward Grieg’s Sonata No. 3 for Violin and Piano is also the last chamber work the composer penned. Alternating between brooding darknesses and a light-strewn slow movement\, the Sonata ends in a jubilant C major – Grieg anticipating Debussy’s ‘joy’. \nJames Ehnes | Violin\nOrion Weiss | Piano \n\nPROGRAM\n\nErich Korngold (1897–1957)\nSuite from Much Ado About Nothing\, Op. 11 [14′] \nI.

SUMMARY:Zelman Symphony Orchestra | Beethoven 256
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven fans were left disappointed in 2020 with a somewhat curtailed 250th Anniversary celebration. We make up for it with this concert devoted to the bad-boy of Classical music. \nThe Coriolan Overture was written as an introduction to Heinrich Joseph von Collin’s tragedy about the legendary\, defiant Roman general\, Coriolanus. The music depicts his aggressive military power\, but it famously does not end in triumph. Instead\, the work gradually unravels and fades into silence\, mirroring the general’s collapse and ultimately tragic end. \nSymphony No. 4\, while not as famous as the other symphonies\, still displays the lively and dramatic character we’ve come to expect from Beethoven. It shows his wit and lyricism with brilliant scoring for woodwinds. \nSymphony No. 7 is full of relentless\, driving rhythms\, concluding with an ecstatic finale. \nArtists\n\nRick Prakhoff – conductor \nJessica Zuk – conductor \n\nProgram\n\nBeethoven – Coriolan: Overture \nBeethoven – Symphony no. 4 in B♭ Op. 60 \nBeethoven – Symphony no. 7 in A Op. 92

SUMMARY:Australian Chamber Choir | Great Romantic Voices - Middle Park
DESCRIPTION:In the hands of Romantics like Bruckner and Brahms\, music became increasingly expressive\, harmonically inventive\, passionate\, theatrical. In the twentieth century\, composers like Herbert Howells\, Ralph Vaughan Williams\, Amy Beach and Samuel Barber resisted the atonality and serialism embraced by their contemporaries and continued to explore the rich extremes of lush harmony and sweeping melodies. \nThese composers as a group – the voices of the Greater Romantic movement – provide us with a program that runs the gamut from emotionally-charged to blissfully peaceful. \nARTISTS \nAustralian Chamber Choir \nPROGRAM \nAnton Bruckner – (works TBA)\nJohannes Brahms – (works TBA)\nHerbert Howells – (works TBA)\nRalph Vaughan Williams – (works TBA)\nAmy Beach – (works TBA)\nSamuel Barber – (works TBA)

SUMMARY:The Gesualdo Six | Lux Aeterna & Hemispheres
DESCRIPTION:20 June 2026- 7:00pm\nLux Aeterna\nA poignant\, hopeful sequence of sacred music from across the centuries \nAward-winning British vocal ensemble The Gesualdo Six present a poignant\, hopeful sequence of sacred music containing radiant choral writing from across the centuries.

SUMMARY:Luke Zhang and Sean Kim | Restless Forms
DESCRIPTION:Two Piano Recitals on Structure\, Memory\, and Collapse\nRestless Forms is a contemporary classical piano recital by Luke Zhang and Sean Kim exploring instability\, transformation\, and the search for artistic identity. \nEmerging from years immersed in conservatorium life — shaped by discipline\, obsession\, uncertainty\, and continual refinement — this program reflects the uneasy transition beyond institutional structure into a more personal and undefined artistic space. \nThrough works that stretch inherited musical forms toward fragmentation and dissolution\, the recital traces a journey from classical clarity into increasingly psychological and atmospheric sound worlds. Dances lose balance\, memories blur\, and fantasy begins to overtake order. \nFeaturing music by Bach\, Beethoven\, Berg\, Ravel\, George Benjamin\, Chopin\, and Schubert\, Restless Forms examines both the evolution of musical language and a deeply human experience: the attempt to find coherence while living through change. Balancing intimacy with intensity\, the program invites audiences into a reflective and emotionally charged sonic landscape shaped by tension\, vulnerability\, and restless transformation. \nPROGRAM \nLuke Zhang\n⁠Alban Berg — Piano Sonata\, Op. 1\nLudwig van Beethoven — Piano Sonata No. 18 in E-flat Major\, Op. 31 No. 3\nMaurice Ravel — La Valse \nInterval \nSean Kim\nJohann Sebastian Bach — Prelude and Fugue in E-flat Major\, BWV 852\nMaurice Ravel — Une Barque sur l’océan (Miroirs: no. 3)\nGeorge Benjamin — Meditation on a Theme by Haydn\nFranz Schubert — Fantasie in C Major\, D. 760 “Wanderer Fantasy” \n

Come and join me for this entertaining and informative 10-week course exploring the operas of Puccini and his contemporaries. \nFull term enrolments and Casual Drop In available. 10-Week Class = $350 / Casual Drop In = $40 per class

SUMMARY:Richard Tognetti & the ANAM Orchestra | Central Park in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:In the first of two concerts during his residency at ANAM\, superstar violinist Richard Tognetti brings together the fascinating sound worlds of American composers Charles Ives and Ruth Crawford Seeger\, alongside a current new voice in Australian music\, Alex Turley\, and the sumptuous late-Romantic sounds of Arnold Schoenberg’s early masterpiece Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night).\n\n\nOften paired together\, Charles Ives’s The Unanswered Question for solo trumpet\, winds and strings\, and Central Park in the Dark for orchestra explore the notion of the individual contemplating the world—our existence and place within it in the first work\, and\, in the second\, the sounds of the world before industrialisation\, “before the combustion engine and radio monopolized the earth and air\,” as Ives noted. \nOriginally written for the Sydney Symphony brass section\, the ANAM Brass musicians unite for a performance of Alex Turley’s Mirage. This brand-new work explores the more subtle and mysterious textures of the loudest of orchestral instruments. Sounds bend and refract around the ensemble\, which is spread throughout the performance space in an ever-shifting harmonic language designed to lose yourself in. \nEqually labyrinthine in its harmonic twists and turns is Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) by Arnold Schoenberg. Pre-dating his revolutionary upheaval of classical music\, this early work for strings showcases ingenious motivic development and a sumptuous romantic language\, telling the story of two lovers and the transfiguration of their love for each other. \nPROGRAM\n\nAlex TURLEY Mirage\nCharles IVES The Unanswered Question \nIVES Central Park in the Dark\nRuth CRAWFORD SEEGER Music for Small Orchestra\nArnold SCHOENBERG Verklärte Nacht\, op. 4 \nARTISTS \nRichard Tognetti director / violin\nANAM Orchestra \nDuration: approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (no interval) \nSpecial Offer! A 5% discount applies when purchasing tickets to 2 ANAM Orchestra concerts at St Kilda Town Hall\, and a 10% discount applies when purchasing tickets to all 3 St Kilda Town Hall concerts.

SUMMARY:Gravity and Other Myths + The Metropolitan Orchestra | LOUDER
DESCRIPTION:Circus meets symphony\n\n\n\nThe intensity is turned up as the beauty and precision of classical music meet the daring physical mastery of circus. When these two disciplines collide\, tradition isn’t abandoned\, it’s reimagined and brought thrillingly to life. \nCreated by multi-award-winning Australian circus company Gravity and Other Myths in collaboration with the Brandenburger Symphoniker\, LOUDER is a powerful new work responding to the noise and complexity of the modern world through the enduring language of classical music. \nOn the Opera House stage\, eight world-class acrobats share the space with 22 musicians from The Metropolitan Orchestra\, conducting by Sarah-Grace Williams\, in a finely balanced exchange of sound and movement. \nThe acrobats’ physicality becomes a visual interpretation of the music itself\, from Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major to newly composed works from Sxip Shirey and Quincey Grant. Human towers rise and fall\, bodies are launched and caught\, structures build and dissolve\, all meticulously calibrated to the conductor’s beat. \nThough they come from different artistic worlds\, both musicians and acrobats are guided by the same principles: timing\, trust\, discipline and precision.

SUMMARY:Musica Viva Australia | Doric String Quartet & Lloyd Van't Hoff – Adelaide
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Adès’ Alchymia has been hailed as one of the best chamber music compositions of the time.

Musica Viva Australia is excited to present the London-based Doric String Quartet performing this magical work with the brilliance of Australian clarinettist and FutureMaker Lloyd Van’t Hoff. \nThen the Doric String Quartet invites you to join them for a while on their multi-year project performing and recording Beethoven’s complete string quartets.

SUMMARY:Catherine Traicos | 'In The Heart Of The Night' album launch tour
DESCRIPTION:In The Heart Of The Night was born in a studio by the sea by Catherine Traicos and her long-time collaborator and confidante Nick Huggins.  The pull of the tides\, the glow of the moon\, the sounds of eternity and the absence of any distraction forged a strikingly beautiful single body of work dissected into two longer pieces\, Scene 1 and Scene 2. \nMelodies drift like waves through an ambient analogue sea.  Ethereal and grounded by a breath by mistake\, by strings and the warmth of piano keys\, In The Heart of The Night is an ancient siren calling you across the seas – a magnetic pull towards a beautiful and inevitable darkness. \nCatherine Traicos presents her new album with three intimate performances  \nPerth’s Ambassador Bar on June 12 \nMelbourne’s Tempo Rubato on June 20 \nSydney at Church Street Studios on June 26

SUMMARY:Sydney Chamber Music Festival | Saudade
DESCRIPTION:Saudade is one of the most expressive and untranslatable words in the Portuguese language\, a concept at the heart of Brazilian poetry and song. It conveys a powerful blend of longing\, missing\, nostalgia\, yearning\, and the bittersweet pull of cherished memories. No English word can capture it fully\, and it is this rich emotional spectrum that shapes the character of the concert. \nThis program brings together the unusual and striking combination of flute\, bass trombone\, and piano\, revealing unexpected colours as beloved works are transformed through fresh arrangements and new sonorities. \nThe journey opens with the brightness of Bach’s Invention No. 4\, followed by Gluck’s serene Melodia from Orfeo ed Euridice\, reimagined as a lyrical conversation between flute and bass trombone. Fauré’s Après un rêve and Pavane emerge with new expressive shading\, and Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise glows with a warm\, resonant depth in this ensemble. \nMyaskovsky’s Sonata No. 2 (Allegro) adds contrast and momentum\, highlighting the surprising versatility and blend of flute and bass trombone. \nAt the centre of the program lies a major highlight: the World Premiere of a new Nocturne for Flute and Piano\, commissioned by the Sydney Chamber Music Festival for Bridget Bolliger\, composed by Calvin Bowman\, and performed by the composer together with the artist for whom it was written. \nThe program then turns toward Latin and South American colour: the gentle sway of Capricho Milonga\, the brilliant energy of David Fetter’s Spain\, and the haunting beauty of Piazzolla’s Oblivion in José Bragato’s arrangement. The concert concludes with Edmundo Villani-Côrtes’ Five Brazilian Miniatures\, each movement alive with melodic charm and rhythmic brightness. \nSaudade offers a richly textured musical journey \, shaped by longing\, memory\, and the distinctive sound world created by this remarkable trio of instruments. \nPerformers\n\n\nBridget Bolliger\, flute \n\n\nCalvin Bowman\, piano \n\n\nDarrin C. Milling\, bass trombone \n\n\nProgram\nJohann Sebastian Bach(1685–1750) – Invention No. 4 — flute & piano \nChristoph Willibald Gluck(1714–1787) – Melodia from Orfeo ed Euridice – adapt. Darrin C.

SUMMARY:Gravity and Other Myths + The Metropolitan Orchestra | LOUDER
DESCRIPTION:Circus meets symphony\n\n\n\nThe intensity is turned up as the beauty and precision of classical music meet the daring physical mastery of circus. When these two disciplines collide\, tradition isn’t abandoned\, it’s reimagined and brought thrillingly to life. \nCreated by multi-award-winning Australian circus company Gravity and Other Myths in collaboration with the Brandenburger Symphoniker\, LOUDER is a powerful new work responding to the noise and complexity of the modern world through the enduring language of classical music. \nOn the Opera House stage\, eight world-class acrobats share the space with 22 musicians from The Metropolitan Orchestra\, conducting by Sarah-Grace Williams\, in a finely balanced exchange of sound and movement. \nThe acrobats’ physicality becomes a visual interpretation of the music itself\, from Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major to newly composed works from Sxip Shirey and Quincey Grant. Human towers rise and fall\, bodies are launched and caught\, structures build and dissolve\, all meticulously calibrated to the conductor’s beat. \nThough they come from different artistic worlds\, both musicians and acrobats are guided by the same principles: timing\, trust\, discipline and precision.

SUMMARY:Luke Zhang and Sean Kim | Restless Forms
DESCRIPTION:Two Piano Recitals on Structure\, Memory\, and Collapse\nRestless Forms is a contemporary classical piano recital by Luke Zhang and Sean Kim exploring instability\, transformation\, and the search for artistic identity. \nEmerging from years immersed in conservatorium life — shaped by discipline\, obsession\, uncertainty\, and continual refinement — this program reflects the uneasy transition beyond institutional structure into a more personal and undefined artistic space. \nThrough works that stretch inherited musical forms toward fragmentation and dissolution\, the recital traces a journey from classical clarity into increasingly psychological and atmospheric sound worlds. Dances lose balance\, memories blur\, and fantasy begins to overtake order. \nFeaturing music by Bach\, Beethoven\, Berg\, Ravel\, George Benjamin\, Chopin\, and Schubert\, Restless Forms examines both the evolution of musical language and a deeply human experience: the attempt to find coherence while living through change. Balancing intimacy with intensity\, the program invites audiences into a reflective and emotionally charged sonic landscape shaped by tension\, vulnerability\, and restless transformation. \nPROGRAM \nLuke Zhang\n⁠Alban Berg — Piano Sonata\, Op. 1\nLudwig van Beethoven — Piano Sonata No. 18 in E-flat Major\, Op. 31 No. 3\nMaurice Ravel — La Valse \nInterval \nSean Kim\nJohann Sebastian Bach — Prelude and Fugue in E-flat Major\, BWV 852\nMaurice Ravel — Une Barque sur l’océan (Miroirs: no. 3)\nGeorge Benjamin — Meditation on a Theme by Haydn\nFranz Schubert — Fantasie in C Major\, D. 760 “Wanderer Fantasy” \n
