Australian Chamber Orchestra
The captivating beauty of Katie Noonan’s voice joins with the Australian Chamber Orchestra for an exploration of English song.
Melancholic, nostalgic and at times mystical – centuries are traversed with songs from Gibbons and Dowland through to the present day.
At once sombre and soaring, the sensuous Five Variants of ‘Dives and Lazarus’ by Ralph Vaughan Williams continues this exploration of the folkloric mysteries and majesty of England.
Originally written for the strings of the then recently founded London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Edward Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro is an epic yet succinct work. The concert is brought to a stirring conclusion, as this piece showcases the extraordinary talents of the Australian Chamber Orchestra strings.
