Pastoral Melodies - Idyllic & Tempestuous, Melbourne

MELBOURNE! The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra performs works by Mozart, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Beethoven. Together with Melbourne-based chamber choir, Polyphonic Voices, join us and rediscover the Pastoral Melodies of these eighteenth and nineteenth century master composers.

Our program:
MENDELSSOHN, Hebrides Overture Op.26 'Fingal's Cave' (1830)
BRAHMS, Five Songs Op.104 (1888)
MOZART, Spaur Messe in C Major Kv.258 'Piccolomini' (1776)
BEETHOVEN, Symphony in F Major No.6 Op.68 'Pastoral' (1808)

Under the Artistic Direction of Richard Gill AO, the orchestra brings to life the colours and contrasts of Classical music together with the expression and emotion of Romantic music on exquisite and dynamic period instruments.
