2x free tickets to Sun 22 May 2022, 17:00pm, University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concert

Join the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in their second concert of 2022 and share in a kaleidoscopic experience of musical imagination.

Led by Associate Professor Richard Davis, the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will perform the world premiere of Tom Henry's Visions from the interior (after Fred Williams). They will also be joined by the winner of the 2021 Conservatorium Concerto/Aria Competition, Brian Luo, for Rachmaninov's virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 3. After interval, the orchestra will perform Berlioz’ Symphony fantastique, a ground-breaking symphony which changed the course of musical history with its vivid musical storytelling.

The performance will open with the world premiere of Tom Henry's ‘Visions from the interior (after Fred Williams)’. Brian Luo, the joint winner of the 2021 Conservatorium Concerto/Aria Competition, will then join to perform one of the most technically challenging concertos in the standard piano repertoire - Rachmaninov's ‘Piano Concerto No 3’. After the interval, the orchestra will perform Berlioz’ ‘Symphony Fantastique’, which portrays the semi-autobiographical story of an artist as he navigates increasingly nightmarish opioid hallucinations.

      Rach 3 is about 45 minutes, and the Berlioz clocks in at just under an hour, so consider whether your child would be able to comfortably sit through it (and also be entertained by it).

        How do you explain this to the kids?

          um. "remember Josh when you ate that lollipop that didn't taste quite right? the composer had a similar experience, and that's what this music is about"

    PSA: if you get a ticket but later decide not to go, contact the box office and ask them to cancel it, out of consideration for people who might be in search for a ticket close to the date.

        Some can't figure that out, and that's why Liberal has been in power for so long.

        Jokes aside, the general aussie population is quiet illiterate, cant do maths, and probably fail logical reasoning too.

        • Quiet illiterate? They're low volume, can't read? Interesting.

    Let us hope that those who have taken advantage of this deal, actually end up going and did not just get a FOMO because it was free.
