Join the NCO for an evocative afternoon of sound and storytelling at the magnificent Snow Concert Hall, under the masterful direction of Music Director Louis Sharpe.
The NCO’s upcoming NEW WORLD concert features three incredible works, including two pieces that highlight local composers and soloists, along with one of the most beloved symphonies ever written.
The program opens with the World Premiere of Riparian, a brand-new work by NCO's 2025 Artist-In-Focus composer Ben Hoadley. Inspired by the dynamic ecosystems of riverbanks, the piece weaves natural imagery and flowing textures into a vibrant orchestral landscape.
Next, the spotlight turns to Lake Ice: (Missed Tales No. 1) by celebrated Australian composer Mary Finsterer—a compelling concerto for Double Bass and orchestra. Local guest soloist Kyle Ramsay-Daniel brings extraordinary nuance and power to this haunting and atmospheric work, exploring the stillness and mystery beneath frozen surfaces.
The concert culminates with Antonín Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9 in E minor, “From the New World.” Infused with lyrical beauty and spirited energy, this symphony speaks to longing, discovery, and the essence of place—echoes that resonate just as deeply today.
Don’t miss this journey through Australian innovation and classical grandeur, all brought to life in one unforgettable performance.
