December 31st, 2024MSO in all-strings concert at Her Maj, Ballarat

Coming up in the new year, James Ehnes leads musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in an all-strings program being staged for the first time in Ballarat.

Set for Friday, March 21 at her Majesty’s Theatre, the evening performance bridges the old and new worlds with works ranging from classical to contemporary.

It’s a prime opportunity to journey into the heart of the violin with one of today’s most masterful soloists. 

This special event features a work by Grammy Award-winning composer Jessie Montgomery who is renowned for her socially inspired and richly layered music.

The contemporary masterpieces by Montgomery are performed alongside Mozart’s playful Violin Concerto No.4, which he wrote while still a teenager, and Dvořák’s uplifting and optimistic Serenade for Strings. 

Further details are available through her Majesty’s Theatre website.
