NIGHT MUSIC Wind down and relax in the company of ACO Collective for a night of perennial favourites.
Mozart’s and Dvořák’s most famous serenades, both written explicitly for evening performance, are followed by a nocturne, literally “for night time”. But far from putting you to sleep, this is a concert of intriguing depth as well as hypnotic beauty and lilting tenderness.
Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is complex and ever-shifting, defying its apparent simplicity, while Dvořak’s lyrical Serenade is “pure goodness”.
Melbourne Recital Centre Wed 6 Dec 7.30pm
Your evening culminates with one of the ACO’s favourite living composers, Latvian Pēteris Vasks. His intensely luminous violin concerto, Distant Light, is a perfect finale to this nighttime adventure.
