Details

A vibrant series of intimate chamber music.

The Australian Youth Orchestra’s Chamber Players are delighted to present a vibrant series of intimate chamber music concerts at Melbourne Recital Centre.

After a week-long intensive program, the AYO Chamber Players will perform selected works from a diverse program featuring Schubert, Dvorak and Ravel as well as 21st century works such as Andrew Batterhams’ Melbourne Mosaic, a love letter to the city’s most iconic locations, and Elena Kats-Chernin’s Blue Silence devoted to artists who have schizophrenia.

Led by some of Australia’s best chamber musicians, the AYO Chamber Players program offers intensive training in the technique and musicianship of small ensemble playing. These concerts are a fantastic opportunity to hear the country’s best pre-professional musicians interpret pieces for string, wind, brass and piano ensembles.
