Australian National Academy of Music 30th Gala with Simone Young
About this event
Needing no introduction, Simone Young AM returns to conduct the full forces of the Australian National Academy of Music Orchestra at the Australian National Academy of Music's 30th birthday celebration. This one-night-only gala concert features some of the most distinct music of their time, culminating in the glistening sounds of Richard Strauss at the height of his orchestral writing.
Strauss's deeply moving tone poem Death and Transfiguration is a journey of the soul from death into the shimmering world of the beyond. Alongside this, hear the Australian premiere of the epilogue from centenarian György Kurtág's Fin de Partie, his recent opera inspired by Samuel Beckett's play, Endgame. The virtuosic eccentricity of John Adams is on display in his energetic Chamber Symphony and Sofia Gubaidulina's mystical Fairytale Poem brings a tragic whimsy to this eclectic program.
Join in as Simone Young and the Australian National Academy of Music Orchestra come together to celebrate 30 years of the Australian National Academy of Music, Australia's leading music performance training academy.
