Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tan Dun - Arts Centre Melbourne, Hamer Hall
Program Info: Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Tan Dun, conductor Lu Siqing, violin MSO Chorus Warren-Trevelyan-Jones, chorus director
This concert opens with the Overture to Beethoven's only ballet. The energetic score represents Prometheus fleeing from heaven after stealing fire from the Gods.
Tan Dun's Violin Concerto seamlessly blends Eastern and Western musical traditions, here performed by Lu Siqing.
Paired with the famous Ode to Joy from the final movement of Beethoven’s Ninth, Tan Dun conducts the Australian premier of his choral concerto, Nine. This work is Dun’s response to Beethoven, co-commissioned by the MSO and the Philharmonic Society of London – the very group who commissioned Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony two hundred years ago.
