Event details
Described by The Age as a ‘gift to local composers’ Arcko Symphonic Ensemble gave its first concert in June 2008 and has been giving concerts regularly ever since.
Embracing Australian music of this and the last century, the Ensemble focuses on larger scale works, breathing life into forgotten compositions and linking Australia’s wonderful heritage composers with the younger generation.
The musicians of Arcko Symphonic Ensemble celebrate two prolific Australian composers and their life’s art to date. The performance is also a celebration of spirituality: revelations of self-struggle, desperation and resilience, the adoration of destruction and creation, the presence of majesty and the theatre of nature. Compositions by Helen Gifford and Nigel Butterley pave a wandering path, from the tropes of Europe to the chants of India, shouting out to ancient Greek festivities and poetry inspired by the forest.
Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre and Arcko Symphonic Ensemble
