Founded just a decade ago, the Australian World Orchestra is one of classical music’s newest and freshest ensembles. It brings together the most outstanding Australian musicians from across the country – and from orchestras and groups right around the world. It has already been praised internationally for its luxurious, sophisticated sound and its charismatic musical personality.

Eminent conductor Zubin Mehta has had a long association with the orchestra, and he brings a concert that is sure to show off the ensemble’s power and versatility.

Australian soprano Siobhan Stagg is the soloist in Debussy’s early, Wagnerian song-cycle Ariettesoubliées, setting poems by Verlaine, while Webern’s Passacaglia echoes Brahms and Mahler in its richness and emotional intensity.

Mehta and the orchestra conclude with the rustic melodies and sunny nature evocations of Dvořák’s vibrant Seventh Symphony, which rises from the darkness of its opening to end in blazing light.
