- **Event Name**: Mahler & Tchaikovsky
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: This performance is filled to the brim with musical highlights, but it’s likely that your eyes darted straight to the word flugelhorn. ‘What in the world is that instrument,’ you ask? Come and find out what it looks and sounds like when flugelhorn virtuoso Sergei Nakariakov performs his own special arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme. The music was originally composed for the cello, making this performance sound like nothing you’ve ever heard. 

Our adventurous program continues with Mahler’s Symphony No.1 under the baton of Singaporean conductor Kahchun Wong. Nicknamed Titan, the work contains everything from bird song references to the most unsettling version of Frère Jacques you could imagine. But perhaps the most daring piece of all will be the one at the very beginning: a new work from Andrew Aronowicz, our Cybec Young Composer in Residence. Stake your claim as the first listener in the world to hear his fresh Australian music, which we’re proud to have commissioned ourselves.
