Internationally renowned for inspired programming and the rapturous response of audiences and critics, the Australian Chamber Orchestra is a product of our country’s vibrant, adventurous and enquiring spirit. In performances around Australia, around the world and on many recordings, the ACO moves hearts and stimulates minds with repertoire spanning six centuries and a vitality and virtuosity unmatched by other ensembles.

Under the inspiring leadership of Richard Tognetti AO, the ACO performs as a versatile ‘ensemble of soloists’, a chamber group and a symphony orchestra, on modern and period instruments. Only the cellists are seated and the resulting sense of energy and individuality is one of the most commented-upon elements of an ACO concert experience.

The ACO tours Australia seven times annually with subscription concerts in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney and Wollongong. As Australia’s flagship orchestra, the ACO regularly tours Europe, the USA and Asia, performing in the world’s most prestigious venues, including London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall and Vienna’s Musikverein.

Such celebrated soloists as Emmanuel Pahud, Steven Isserlis, Dawn Upshaw, Imogen Cooper, Christian Lindberg, Melvyn Tan and Pieter Wispelwey regularly perform with the Orchestra. The ACO is renowned for collaborating with artists from diverse genres, including singers Tim Freedman, Neil Finn, Katie Noonan, Paul Capsis, Danny Spooner and Barry Humphries and visual artists Michael Leunig, Bill Henson, Shaun Tan and Jon Frank.

Uniquely among Australian orchestras, several musicians perform on spectacularly fine instruments. Tognetti’s 1743 Guarneri del Gesù violin and Principal Cellist Timo-Veikko Valve’s 1729 Giuseppe Guarneri filius Andreæ cello are on loan from anonymous benefactors. Principal Second Violinist Helena Rathbone plays a 1759 J.B. Guadagnini violin on loan from the Commonwealth Bank Group.

The entrusting of these precious instruments to the ACO’s care is proof of the high esteem in which the Orchestra is held.

The ACO has many acclaimed recordings on labels including ABC Classics, BIS, Chandos, EMI, Hyperion and Sony. Recordings of Bach’s violin works won three consecutive ARIA Awards in 2006-8. Recent releases include the television series Classical Destinations II, the award-winning film Musica Surfica and Luminous.

Through the ACO’s ambitious national Education, Qantas Emerging Artists and ACO2 Programs, thousands of students all over Australia watch and participate in outstanding music-making every year.

fr o m richard t o gnet ti, artistic direc t o r

The performer in Les Murray’s poem is not only the performer on the stage, but also the listener as performer.

Performance I starred that night, I shone: I was footwork and firework in one, a rocket that wriggled up and shot darkness with a parasol of brilliants and a peewee descant on a flung bit; I was busters of glitter-bombs expanding to mantle and aurora from a crown, I was fouéttes, falls of blazing paint, para-flares spot-welding cloudy heaven, loose gold off fierce toeholds of white, a finale red-tongued as a haka leap: that too was a butt of all right!

As usual after any triumph, I was of course, inconsolable.

So welcome to all listeners; performers all, not just passive sitters out there in the hall. If open-minded, your darkness might be shot with a parasol of brilliants and with busters of glitter-bombs expanding... We’ll aim our para-flares to a spot-welding cloudy heaven, aiming on high to console those inconsolable, tame the untamable, fathom the incomprehensible and offer you a butt of all right.

Well, that’s our hope!

TEDDY TAHU RH o DES Presented by Commonwealth Bank

The name, Teddy, is wonderfully old-fashioned, but when you hear the voice, you’re not transported back in time, rather across time. This is something of a homecoming as Teddy is one of our dearest musical friends.

Richard Tognetti

Impassioned outpourings of love and longing, Mahler’s rapt Adagietto and the first Romantic song-cycle open the season. Teddy Tahu Rhodes is Beethoven’s yearning hero, singing to the distant beloved.

Teddy Tahu Rhodes

“He oozed star quality.”

MAHLER Adagietto BEETHOVEN An die ferne Geliebte BENNETT Songs Before Sleep SAXTON Birthday Piece for RRB PROKOFIEV Five Melodies MENDELSSOHN String Quartet No.3

Teddy also sings nursery rhymes like There Was An Old Lady and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star with an ingenious, Roald Dahl-esque twist by the cosmopolitan Richard Rodney Bennett.

Richard Tognetti performs Prokofiev’s sweet, haunting melodies and leads a new arrangement of Mendelssohn’s breezy and vigorous String Quartet No.3.

LISTEN T o THIS THE REST IS N o ISE Presented by BNP PARIBAS

Is there any other writer who can make music seem as vital and important as Alex Ross? He makes sense of the chaos and kaleidoscopic variety of a century of music.

Richard Tognetti

Alex Ross

“He has an almost uncanny gift for putting music into words.”

The Economist Alex Ross, The New Yorker music critic and best-selling author of The Rest is Noise and Listen to This, curates and presents two programs of the music that matters to him and to history.

Ross will give a pre-concert talk one hour before every performance.

The Rest is Noise

The Rest is Noise

TAKEMITSU Nostalghia BRITTEN Variations on a theme of Frank Bridge STRAVINSKY Apollo: Apotheosis WEBERN Five Movements, Op.5 XENAKIS Voile STRAUSS Metamorphosen

“The twentieth century in music was, above all, an age of extremes.

In this program I want to capture the stunning diversity of a muchmisunderstood epoch. The first half focuses on lyricism, nostalgia, variations on the past; the second half brings sonic revolution and upheaval. Strauss’ Metamorphosen , finished in the last weeks of World War II, is at once cerebral and confessional, a message from the century’s dark heart.”

Alex Ross

ACO0010_SubsBrochure_36pp_2011_272x210_FA6.indd 9

Listen to This “Music may not be a universal language, but it does possess a basic grammar that keeps surfacing across the centuries. In this program, you’ll hear how a bawdy Spanish dance evolved into Bach’s immensely serious Chaconne, how a descending figure of lament echoed from the Renaissance into the twentieth century. In Anna Clyne’s recent piece Within her arms, ancient and modern voices hauntingly intermingle.”

glit tering fr Ö st Presented by VANGUARD INVESTMENTS

I hadn’t so much as heard, let alone listened to, Eine kleine Nachtmusik in years.

My immediate reaction to the idea of playing it was no, until I listened and realised anew that it is a masterpiece worth performing well. No introduction will do justice to Martin Fröst. Quite simply, he is the most exciting clarinettist alive.

Richard Tognetti

After centuries in the hands of street corner buskers, a fresh, definitive performance of Mozart’s most popular piece, Eine kleine Nachtmusik .

Martin Fröst

“A true performance artist, as unpredictable as he is brilliant.”

Art Desk

MOZART Eine kleine Nachtmusik BRAHMS (arr. Fröst) Hungarian Dances HILLBORG Peacock Tales (Australian Premiere) COPLAND Clarinet Concerto RAVEL (arr. Tognetti) String Quartet

Richard Tognetti Artistic Director and Lead Violin Martin Fröst Clarinet

Mesmerising as a snake-charmer, lissom as a faun, with a technique that makes him the finest clarinettist of his generation, Martin Fröst has redefined the clarinet – you’ll never hear such range and expression – and classical music, with the inclusion of mime in his performance of Peacock Tales and a new arrangement of Brahms’ exuberant gypsy music.

Then, music like a warm Sunday morning: Copland’s Latin and jazz-influenced Clarinet Concerto and Ravel’s delicate yet passionate String Quartet.

BAR o QUE VIRTU o SI Presented by transfield

I always wanted to put Sculthorpe and Vivaldi side by side, wondering whether these strange bedfellows might actually make congenial compadres.

We’ve gone a step further here, interweaving a few Australian miniatures amid the virtuosic sounds of the Baroque, placing ACO musicians centre-stage.

Helena Rathbone Lead Violin Satu Vänskä Violin Christopher Moore Viola “It says a lot of a small chamber orchestra that they can put on a concert featuring their own soloists which sounds as if they’ve flown in top international names for the job.”

Wentworth Courier

ACO0010_SubsBrochure_36pp_2011_272x210_FA6.indd 13

The concerto – the contests and concord between soloist and orchestra we enjoy so much – was born in 18th century Italy, starting out with small groups of musicians from the orchestra sparring with the larger group – perfect for an orchestra full of stars like the ACO. Discover the Baroque concerto: Corelli invents it; Vivaldi turns it into a showstopper for four dazzling violinists; Telemann writes a dashing turn for viola; and Handel assimilates styles and dances from across Europe and fuses them into an instrumental masterwork.

Satu Vänskä performs the diabolically difficult “Devil’s Trill”, written note for note from a performance by Satan dreamt by Tartini, first ever owner of a Stradivarius violin.

Two hundred years later, Australian composers such as Peter Sculthorpe are still extending this wonderful medium, the string orchestra.

I met Finnish cellist Jan-Erik Gustafsson at the Maribor Festival: what a strong, dazzling player he is, a great partner for our resident Finnish cellist Timo-Veikko Valve.

Richard Tognetti

Jan-Erik Gustafsson

“Playing with fire and commitment.”

The Independent

SCHUBERT String Quintet, D956 BACH A Musical Offering, BWV1079 (excerpts) STRAVINSKY Concertino; Double Canon “Raoul Dufy in Memoriam”; Three Pieces for string quartet WEBERN Two Pieces for cello

Richard Tognetti Artistic Director and Lead Violin Satu Vänskä Violin Christopher Moore Viola Timo-Veikko Valve Cello Jan-Erik Gustafsson Cello

Dramatic, vulnerable, consoling, inspiring, sublime: Schubert’s String Quintet is a perfect masterpiece.

Contrasting uplifting outbursts with moments of the utmost tenderness, Schubert is at the height of his powers and classical music at its most transcendent.

5–21 August

Bach’s Musical Offering, an ingenious response to a musical challenge from Frederick the Great, is interwoven with Webern’s exquisite cello miniatures and Stravinsky’s extraordinary chamber music, which distils in a few brief phrases ideas he elsewhere turns into exuberant ballets.

VIENNESE SERENADE I love introducing new guest directors to the ACO, and Benjamin Schmid is definitely something special. Not only a great violinist, but an interesting and thoughtful individual, who brings his unique outlook to the ACO.

Richard Tognetti

Benjamin Schmid

“A genius on the way to becoming Austria’s most important violinist since Fritz Kreisler.”

Wiener Zeitung

BACH Concerto for two violins, BWV1043 SCHUBERT Rondo in A, D438 KORNGOLD Lento religioso (from Symphonic Serenade) HK GRUBER Violin Concerto, “Nebelsteinmusik” (Australian Premiere) LANNER Die Werber BREINSCHMID Musette pour Elisabeth & Wien Bleibt Krk (Australian Premiere)

From the world’s most famous musical city, Viennese violinist Benjamin Schmid is the ideal guide to its hidden gems: opulently Romantic Korngold; quirky postmodern HK Gruber; enthralling Schubert; and the other Waltz King, Joseph Lanner. Schmid’s mastery gives him the freedom to play with Viennese traditions, to improvise, to swing waltzes as Grappelli might have done as the night goes on.

Of Schmid’s Bach, Gramophone said: “Performances with more interest per bar than most can manage for an entire sonata.”

BEETH o VEN PAST o RAL SYMPH o NY Beethoven frightened the heavens with his forceful genius and so even more astonishing is the contrasting of such a character with the ineffable tenderness of this symphony. Wieniawski is not the best known of Polish composers but he certainly ought to be on account of his gift for melody and drama. It’s a pleasure to bring another work by Erkki-Sven Tüür to life.

Richard Tognetti Artistic Director and Lead Violin “Tognetti has given us Beethoven that is alive and hot, fresh and memorable.”

The Australian

The most unashamedly beautiful of Beethoven's symphonies, perfect for the sweet, burnished sound of the ACO strings, the radiant Pastoral swirls with the sounds of bucolic breezes, brooks, birds and storms.

Richard Tognetti performs the quintessential Romantic violin concerto, full of dazzling technique, lush harmonies and swooning melodies.

Critically acclaimed as “inspired, compelling”, Tüür’s music for the ACO is both clever and moving.

Through 45 tours to 252 cities in 36 countries, audiences and critics in the world’s most prestigious concert halls have been astonished by the vibrancy and virtuosity of this small Australian orchestra. “[The ACO] plays everything with raw, high-spirited, rhythmically propulsive energy… Early music doesn’t get much hipper than this.”

Los Angeles Times, 2009 “The energy and vibe of a rock band with the ability of a crack classical chamber group.”

Washington Post, 2009 “Listening to the ACO is like taking a swig of a vitamin drink. Suddenly: pow! The music feels stronger, muscled, hot from the gym…

The engrossing sounds coupled with images of surfing in Russia in sub zero temperatures and Derek Hynd racing across the face of 10 foot Jeffereys Bay on a finless board created a sensory experience unlike anything I've ever experienced in surfing. You'd be a damn fool to miss it.”

how to SUBSCRIBE

As a subscriber, you receive a ticket for every subscription tour visiting your city in 2011. In Sydney and Melbourne you receive tickets for 7 concerts; in Adelaide, Brisbane and Canberra you receive tickets for 6 concerts; in Perth you receive tickets for 5 concerts; and in Newcastle and Wollongong you receive tickets for 4 concerts. Programs, pre-concert talks and e-newsletters are included.

RENEWING SUBSCRIBERS To ensure you keep your seats, please complete and return your personalised renewal form or renew online by logging into aco.com.au. If you have not received your personalised renewal form please call 1800 444 444 before 27 September 2010. If you are booking for more than one subscriber, please include their contact details so they receive a subscriber card and emails with background information about the concerts.

NEW SUBSCRIBERS Please complete the booking form in this brochure or subscribe at aco.com.au. Select the number of subscription packages you would like in the venue of your choice.

In Melbourne and Sydney take note of the time and day offered.

If you are booking for more than one subscriber, please attach a separate page with their contact details so they receive a subscriber card and emails with background information about the concerts. Seats will be allocated in order of receipt after existing subscribers have renewed

ACO0010_SubsBrochure_36pp_2011_272x210_FA6.indd 26

or released their seats. Tickets for new subscribers will be posted by the end of December 2010.

CONCESSIONS Full-time students, Centrelink-issued Pensioner card holders, Veterans’ Affairs pensioners and Health Care card holders are eligible for concession package prices. Seniors Card holders are not eligible. To claim a concession, please enclose photocopied proof with your booking form.

UNDER 30 If you are aged under 30 you can save up to 50% off the full-priced subscription package. Please enclose photocopied proof of age with your booking form.

SEATING PREFERENCE Please indicate in which section of the hall you would prefer to be seated. Please note that some reserves only apply in particular venues.

Refer to the venue maps on the previous page.

MISSING TICKETS If you misplace your tickets please contact the ACO Box Office to arrange replacements. If you forget your tickets on the day of the performance, go to the ACO Customer Service Desk at the venue one hour before the concert and you will be issued with a Missing Ticket Voucher.

DONATIONS On the booking form, we ask for a tax-deductible donation to be included in your overall subscription payment. We seek this contribution to help offset the ever-increasing cost of maintaining the ACO as Australia’s finest orchestra and to provide essential support for the ACO’s education and outreach activities. Unlike the symphony orchestras, which are generously funded with up to 70% of their costs from the government, the ACO receives less than 20% of its revenue from government sources and relies on the generosity of our subscribers and supporters. We thank you in advance for your contribution.

TICKET EXCHANGE After 15 December 2010, tickets can be exchanged to another subscription concert of your choice, subject to availability. After mailing the tickets you wish to exchange to the ACO Box Office, please allow at least 7 days for your exchange to be carried out. Tickets are also fully transferable.
