Melbourne Symphony Orchestra returns to Geelong

This May, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra returns to Geelong to perform a delightful program of musical treasures from Mozart and Tchaikovsky, with Korean conductor Han-Na Chang at the helm.

One of classical music’s most widely recognised tunes, Mozart’s charming Eine Kleine Nachtmusik offers audiences the chance to examine the intricate beauty of this well-loved work.

The Bassoon – the lowest member of the woodwind family – is one of the most characterful and versatile instruments of the orchestra. Its potential for expressivity – from virtuosic staccatos to gentle yearning lyricism – is fully explored in this concerto by Mozart, played here by MSO’s very own Principal Bassoon, the exceptional Jack Schiller.

The evening closes with Tchaikovsky’s colourful Fifth Symphony. Inviting audiences on an emotional journey through self-doubt to triumph, this symphony’s enduring presence in concert halls across the world is a testament to Tchaikovsky’s significance as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era.
