Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Monk

The season's first subscription concert celebrated the broad diversity of American music, focusing on composers and artists often excluded from concert halls in the past.

This showcase is creative, quirky, bold and, best of all, experimental as four emerging Australian choreographers explore not just intricate shapes and sequences, but whole new ways of movement.

Ravel and Bartók shared the program with Gershwin, Brubeck, Thelonious Monk and others in this imaginative program.

Cool venue – cool ensemble – cool concert! The Kronos quartet are successful where so many fail in bringing the often-too-distinct worlds of pop/rock and classical together. This concert highlighted their commitment to forging their own performance aesthetic by only programming music that has been written specifically for them.

Wirkte das Ensemble der Sonatori manchmal etwas zu verschlafen, wirbelte sich Dorothee Oberlinger lustvoll durch die musikalische Nacht.
