All Australian Chamber Orchestra at Samueli Theater

Australian Chamber Orchestra at Samueli Theater

A classical string orchestra performs on stage under blue lighting, with violinists, cellists, and a double bassist playing. The audience is seated in the foreground, and mist adds atmosphere to the scene.

Experience the Australian Chamber Orchestra in a uniquely intimate setting, bathed in the warm glow of candlelight. This renowned ensemble, known for their virtuosic playing and adventurous programming, will present a program that spans centuries of musical expression. In the candlelit Samueli Theater, hear Purcell's hauntingly beautiful Fantasia on One Note, Handel's majestically celebratory Concerto Grosso in A Major, Op. 6 No. 11, a sonically immersive new work by John Luther Adams, Vaughan Williams' ethereally soaring "The Lark Ascending" (arranged by Adam Johnson), and Schubert's String Quartet in D minor, D.810 "Death and the Maiden" (arranged by Richard Tognetti).

Program:
Purcell: "Fantasia on One Note"
Handel: Concerto Grosso in A Major, Op. 6 No. 11
John Luther Adams: "Horizon"
Vaughan Williams: "The Lark Ascending" (arr. Adam Johnson)
Schubert (arr. Richard Tognetti): String Quartet in D minor, D.810 "Death and the Maiden"
