Concert halls are once again filling with people and music, as live performance reclaims its place centre stage. And with this new chapter, the Australian Chamber Orchestra is finally welcoming Stephanie Ferrands to make her concerto debut as Principal Viola, playing Mozart's divine Sinfonia Concertante
After 47 years the Australian Chamber Orchestra has found its forever home at Sydney's newly revitalised Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. To celebrate, it's throwing a party with special guests including William Barton, Jimmy Barnes, Jane Campion and poet Omar Musa.
Ahead of his show on the 30th of April with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, this week Shareeka chatted to Bornean-Australian author, wood carver, rapper and poet Omar Musa. Often described as liminal, oscillating between genre, culture and disciplines - Omar's work defies definition. We chat about reaching a point of wanting to create from a place of euphoria and healing, creating your own myths, how wood carving has brought a visceral and tactile connection to his homeland of Borneo, and taking up unapologetic space with art making to challenging norms. Listen back to hear this powerful, tender conversation and to be flawed by Omar's poetic responses. Join Omar Musa & Friends for a night of storytelling, visuals, poetry and political commentary on Saturday 30th April at 9pm. Tickets available here through the ACO website, $35 for under 35s and from $49 for adults. Omar will also be appearing at the Sydney Writers Festival later in the month, with limited tickets available here through the SWF site. This episode was hosted, produced and edited by Shareeka Helaluddin with special guest Omar Musa. Cover image: Omar Musa in his studio courtesy of the artist.

It's difficult to find a more well-rounded musician than violinst Henning Kraggerud. The Norwegian virtuoso has had a career that covers everything – a soloist, composer, arranger, improviser, plus he's the Artistic Director of the Arctic Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. The discussion, from when he was visiting Australia in 2017 to guest direct the Australian Chamber Orchestra, provides some fascinating insights into his multi-faceted approach to music-making in his composing, arranging and improvising.
(Originally aired in September 2021) If you've ever had the chance to see Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto perform live, you'll know he is quite the entertainer. It's been said that he strips every piece, however familiar it is, back to first principles, and we get to hear it as if for the first time. At the time of this conversation in 2016, he had just been appointed artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra's emerging artists ensemble – ACO Collective – a position he held until 2019. A great friend of Australia and of the ACO, Pekka is always an absolute joy to talk to. In this program, he gets out his violin in the studio to underscore some of his points, and we even get a live performance of a Finnish folk tune.

This conversation is from 2016 when he was visiting Australia to guest direct the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

'Richard is Busy: Podcast Episode 1' Satu Vänskä, Principal Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, interviews ACO Artistic Director Richard Tognetti. Says Satu: "In absence of the strict touring schedule in the Sydney-winter of 2020, between endless cups of tea and ruminations whilst the dough was rising, I came up with the idea of threatening Richard with a microphone in hope that he would take some time off in his studio if I interviewed him. What is he doing there all day and night? What keeps him so busy? He picked a few topics and pieces of music he was adamant to talk about but as you will hear, the ‘interview’ quickly starts shooting in all kinds of directions esoteric and technical, leaving me to try to make sense of it all for your benefit. I hope you’ll find it a little bit informative and somewhat entertaining. We talk about Feldman, Xenakis, Mozart, Bach, EDM, Jimmy Barnes, his own music and inspirations, different tunings and sound frequencies, get in a tiff and break some dishes."

I had a wonderful time meeting and spending time with Australian Chamber Orchestra principal bassist Maxime Bibeau during my trip to Australia in late 2019. Max has had a fascinating career path, and he plays with a power and subtlety that is truly remarkable. We talk about his path from Quebec to Australia, what it’s like playing on a 1585 Gasparo Da Salo bass, the unique experience of playing in a group like the ACO, and much more. A big thanks to all the people who recommended that Max and I connect during my trip to Australia—what a great bassist and artist!

The Geektown Radio podcast returns this week to discuss the latest tv reviews, film news, UK TV premiere date info, and US TV news as Dave is joined by Darryl from Hollywood News Source as co-host. We also have not one but two interviews with composers whose films premiered this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, Roger Suen & Piers Burbrook de Vere.Roger Suen is best known for scoring Justin Chon's 2017 Sundance award-winning film, 'Gook'. This year, Roger reunites with Chon to score the emotional Asian-American family drama 'Ms. Purple' which premiered at Sundance last weekend. The movie tells the story of Kasie, a young girl who has to seek help from her estranged brother when her bedridden father's caretaker unexpectedly quits. The siblings are forced to reconnect and reconcile the suppressed trauma that led to their separation.When Roger isn't working on his own films, he helps out other composers, providing additional music for their scores. This has led to his work being featured in Guillermo Del Toro’s four-time Oscar-winning film 'The Shape of Water', Netflix’s five-time Emmy-nominated series 'Daredevil' and Emmy-nominated series 'The Defenders'. Through his mastery of orchestral composition and modern electronica, he has also created heart-pounding additional music for Oscar-nominated 'X-Men' and 'Maze Runner' film franchises.Australian composer Piers Burbrook de Vere most recently scored award-winning director Abe Forsythe's zombie comedy 'Little Monsters', starring Lupita Nyong'o ('Black Panther'), Josh Gad ('Frozen'), and Alex England ('Alien: Covenant'). Whilst the movie has zombies and comedy, it also needed the actors to play musical instruments on screen. That included Lupita playing the ukulele, and Alex playing the guitar... with the minor issue that Alex couldn't play the guitar when they started filming, so we chat with Piers about what they did to solve that!Piers previously scored Forsythe's award-winning provocative black comedy, 'Down Under'. Additionally, he has exhibited works across the US and Europe as an artist and performer, and has toured internationally with the acclaimed Australian Chamber Orchestra. Also On This Week's Show:I'm joined by Darryl from Hollywood News Source as co-host, so we review the movies and tv series we've been watching in the past few weeks.We take a look at all the latest tv & film news, including renewals & cancellations.We give you our recommendations for upcoming TV in the next 7 days.

George Zacharias "Nel cor pi√π non mi sento, Op. 38, MS 44" (mp3) from "Unaccompanied" (Divine Art) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Rhapsody More On This AlbumArtist: George ZachariasIt takes a particular and extreme level of skill and dedication to perform virtuoso works for unaccompanied solo violin; suffice it to say these are qualities held by George Zacharias without doubt. This is a tour-de-force of musicianship and technique - and wonderful music too. Bartok's Sonata is presented in its original version and of the two awesome Paganini works, the 'God Save the King' Variations are very rarely heard. Dejan Laziƒ?, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Kirill Petrenko "Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18" (mp3) from "Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18 - Moments Musicaux, Op. 16" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Rhapsody Buy at Napster More On This AlbumArtist: Dejan Lazic Pianist Dejan Lazic was born in Zagreb, Croatia, and grew up in Salzburg where he studied at the Mozarteum. He is quickly establishing a reputation worldwide as ìa brilliant pianist and a gifted musician full of ideas and able to project them persuasivelyî (Gramophone). The New York Times hailed his performance as ìfull of poetic, shapely phrasing and vivid dynamic effects that made this music sound fresh, spontaneous and impassionedî. As recitalist and soloist with orchestra, he has appeared at major venues in Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Buenos Aires and Sydney, and at the Edinburgh, Schleswig-Holstein, Verbier, Huntington and Menuhin/Gstaad Festivals. In the 2006/2007 season he gave his debut at the New York Lincoln Center and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw to great critical acclaim. Orchestral engagements included the Philharmonia Orchestra London with Vladimir Ashkenazy, Rotterdam and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras, Australian and Netherlands Chamber Orchestras, Danish Radio Sinfonietta and Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Upcoming engagements are with London Philharmonic Orchestra and Kirill Petrenko, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestras and Basel Chamber Orchestra. He will be in season 2008/09 ìartist in residenceî at the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. He has a growing following in the Far East where he returns in spring 2008 for engagements with the Sapporo Symphony and for recitals in Tokyo and Beijing as well as for an engagement with Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2009 a national Australian tour is planned with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In the next season he will appear in recitals at the BBC Belfast, in Istanbul and Salzburg, Queen Elisabeth Hall London and at Vienna Musikverein to mention just a few. Alongside his solo career, Dejan Lazic is also a passionate chamber musician. He collaborates with artists such as Benjamin Schmid, Thomas Zehetmair, Gordan Nikolic and Richard Tognetti. Dejan records exclusively for Channel Classics. In autumn 2007 the first publication of the double portrait series with a Scarlatti/Bartok program is planned. The second CD will be released in 2008 with a Schumann/Brahms program as well as a recording of the Khachaturian Concerto and the Rachmaninov Paganini Rhapsody with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and a CD with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Rachmaninov Concerto No. 2. His last recording of Schubertís sonata D960 and his earlier one with Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2 have earned rave reviews. His compositions include various chamber music and orchestral works. In 2007/08 he will premiere his ìKinderszenenî op. 15 for piano solo. Album Notes: You're going to compose your concerto. You will work with great ease. The concerto will be of excellent qualitySo spoke Dr. Nikolai Dahl, of one of the pioneers of psychiatry in Russia, and in this way he successfully restored Sergey Rachmaninov's concentration during a period of creative despair after the failure of his first Symphony. Later, Rachmaninov himself was to write: ìEven though it seems unbelievable, this therapy truly helped me. I was already starting to compose by summer!îAlthough they were separated by the crisis which interrupted his work, both the second Piano Concerto and the ìMoments Musicauxî date from the composer's early period, during which he was active primarily as a composer rather than a pianist. This explains the character of the second Piano Concerto, which partakes of both chamber music and symphony, despite the dazzling virtuosity of the solo piano part. Unlike many of Rachmaninov's other works, the concerto, dedicated in thanks to his doctor, was never revised after the first performance-another indication of the ease and freshness with which Rachmaninov went to work.The formal simplicity (e.g., in the first movement: main theme in the minor, second theme in the relative major, the development section laid out as a large-scale accelerando with gradually increasing dynamics, recapitulation with both themes, although given out with different instrumentation) is just as classically conceived as the choice of tonalities for the three movements (opening and closing movements in C minor, the slow central movement in E major, just as in Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto, except for the introductory modulations), and the balanced alternation between the freely improvisatory, martially strict, and dancelike, as well as between polyphonic and homophonic writing. However, all three movements are in 2/2 time, making the frequent shifts between 2/2 and 3/2 in the third movement all the more refreshing....http://www.channelclassics.com/ New Century Saxophone Quartet "The Art of Fugue" (mp3) from "Bach: The Art of Fugue" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at Rhapsody Buy at Napster More On This AlbumArtist: New Century Saxophone QuartetThe New Century Saxophone Quartet is a pioneering and versatile group winning new-found enthusiasm for its diverse repertory of innovative contemporary works and imaginative adaptations comprising an extraordinary range of musical styles. The only ensemble of its kind to win First Prize of the Concert Artists Guild Competition, the quartet is the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, and the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and in its home state from the North Carolina Arts Council. New Century has been heard in major concert venues and on radio and television throughout the Americas and Europe; in recordings for the Channel Classics label; and in unusual performance settings including two Command Performances for President Clinton at the White House, an appearance with the United States Navy Band, and a Chinese New Year broadcast seen by a television audience of over 300 million worldwide. Peter Schickeleís Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra is among the ensembleís numerous and widely-performed commissions and premieres, which also include works from Saturday Night Live bandleader Lenny Pickett, Bob Mintzer, Ben Johnston, David Ott, and Sherwood Shaffer. Album Notes:This project then is the culmination of over eight years studying, rehearsing, and performing Bach, and even in its "final" form on this disc represents a work in progress. As the quartet has discovered, one is never through learning Bach. Faced with the infinite possibilities of interpretation, one never plays it the same way twice. (Even in "extreme" interpretations, the music almost never suffers.) Also, one cannot spend this much time in the presence of the master without being fundamentally changed as a musician. The quartet has become keenly aware through this process that playing "The Art of Fugue" has changed everything ?ó the way they listen to each other, hear and experience an individual musical line and its relation to the surrounding parts, balance a chord or section of counterpoint, and even tune. The New Century Saxophone Quartet simply sounds different now, and they approach every piece, new and old, with a fresh perspective. It is their sincere desire to present the music of Bach in a way that is true to his intentions and the stylistic practices of the period, and yet with a vitality and freshness that can come from over 250 years of perspective. It is hoped you are as moved and inspired by the mastery of "The Art of Fugue" as they are.http://www.channelclassics.com/
