— A post-modern masterwork and one of the highest-selling classical music recordings of all time, acclaimed UK/German composer and innovator Max Richter expertly retouches and re-imagines Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, resulting in a transformative experience that sounds entirely new and yet satisfyingly full of familiar delights.
— An important voice for her generation, American composer Jessie Montgomery interweaves classical traditions with vernacular music, improvisation and social consciousness. Her works have been described as ‘turbulent, wildly colorful and exploding with life’ (The Washington Post). In her first commission by an Australian ensemble, this world premiere is a partnership with Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Aspen Music Festival and Tanglewood Music Festival.
— One of Australia’s most celebrated and significant composers, Elena Kats-Chernin’s Ornamental Air is a tour-de-force packed with virtuosic arpeggios and explosions of colour wrapped in the composer's exuberant musical style. Originally composed for international clarinettist Michael Collins, this updated setting has been reworked by the composer into a powerful new chamber version.
