Details

The Australian Chamber Orchestra Collective makes it debut at The Pavilion with โ€˜The Lark Ascendingโ€™. With its soaring melodies and joyful trills, Ralph Vaughan Williams creates a radiant portrait of a lark in flight, trailing a silver chain of sound as it rises and we bask in its beauty.

ACO Collective plays this eternal favourite as the centrepiece of an uplifting program directed by ACO Principal Violin Helena Rathbone. The program spans five centuries from Henry Purcellโ€™s โ€˜Fantasia Upon One Noteโ€™ to Max Richterโ€™s cinematic โ€˜On the Nature of Daylightโ€™.

The ACO Collective will also premiere a new commission by award-winning Australian composer Anne Cawrse, sought after for her appealing, approachable sound and the concert closes with Sukโ€™s glowing Serenade for Strings. Inspired by Dvorรกk and Brahms, it is the sound of pure happiness.

Chosen for their beauty and spirit, these six works will set your heart aflight. Join us to welcome the Australian Chamber Orchestra to The Pavilion for this very special concert.
