The Australian Chamber Orchestra and Artistic Director Richard Tognetti return to UKARIA with a three-program weekend, featuring a combination of much-loved masterworks and important contemporary voices that showcase the ACO’s world-renowned energy and spirit.
The second concert features contemporary works including Osvaldo Golijov’s gripping tango duel and Gabriella Smith’s wild quartet. Enough to incite a musical revolution, these pieces draw attention to the energy for which the ACO is famous. The concert culminates with Richard Tognetti’s own arrangement for string orchestra of Brahms’ monumental Violin Concerto, featuring Richard as soloist.
