The tiny, yet very mighty, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra is making its way to the west later this month.
The orchestra will present its new show Flexible Sky, starring Slava Grigoryan, on Friday 27 February at the Clocktower Centre in Moonee Ponds.
The show celebrates innovation and aims to delight audiences with a world-premiere performance by Joe Chindamo, a composer celebrated for his cross-genre fluency.
Grigoryan’s artistry will shine in Vivaldi’s D major Concerto, a baroque gem sparkling with charm and vitality.
In Flexible Sky, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra showcases Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata before finishing with a rhythmically charged and emotionally satisfying close in Matthew Hinderson’s Song and Dance.
Often described as a wizard of the guitar, Grigoryan has built a prolific international reputation as a classical guitar virtuoso.
His long-standing relationships with Sony Classical, ABC Classics in Australia, ECM in Germany and his own label Which Way Music have resulted in more than 30 solo and collaborative albums spanning a wide range of genres.
He has appeared at numerous national and international arts and guitar festivals, won four ARIA Awards for Best Classical Album, and performs regularly as a soloist with all of Australia’s symphony orchestras. Grigoryan has completed three critically acclaimed tours with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and has performed at many of the world’s leading venues, including London’s Wigmore Hall and Royal Festival Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Vienna’s Konzerthaus and Tokyo’s Sumida Triphony Hall, consistently captivating audiences worldwide.
The Melbourne Chamber Orchestra isled by artistic director Sophie Rowell.
The show starts at 7.30pm.
