MSO Live: Music Marathon

The MSO Live: Music Marathon features live and pre-filmed orchestral and ensemble performances of works by Beethoven, Vivaldi and Vaughan Williams as well as contemporary compositions, inspired by both nature and the nature of humanity. Also featured are conversations with MSO musicians and special guests, deconstructing Beethoven works in the year of his 250th birthday. Highlights include the recent world premiere collaboration of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with Circa Contemporary Circus; Beethoven’s 7th Symphony; Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending (arranged for string sextet, featuring concertmaster Dale Barltrop); Peter Sculthorpe’s String Quartet No.18; Vivaldi’s Winter from The Four Seasons featuring MSO violinist Anne-Marie Johnson and Dutala, star-filled sky by MSO’s Composer in Residence Deborah Cheetham AO. The marathon also celebrates the return of the MSO musicians as they prepare for a program of exciting new digital concerts, conversation and interactions.
